This is my take on the venerable Dyna Bee gyroscopic exercise ball that came out in the late 1970's. It uses 48 pennies (US) as the flywheel mass. As a twist, I've added a geared zip starter to get the rotor spinning up to speed. From there, you keep it going with pure wrist power.Aside from the 3D printed parts, you will need a 0.125" diameter steel rod and some superglue to put it together.UPDATE: I've modified the shell to make it easier to align the zip starter with the slots in the side.Pri
