This driven top is quite a novelty and can, with some trials, be made using the principles outlined
here. This new top has many applications in developing both understanding and skills and these are
detailed in the article. Depending on reader’s available time and motivation they may feel an urge
to make one themselves, or simply invest a few pounds in the one that has been designed, tested and
manufactured to a high standard. Either way the unique design of the driven top can provide several
hours of interesting experimentation. Our aim here is simply to inform and inspire readers to
further investigation and experimentation.
