See a fidget spinner play in space with Randy Bresnik NASA
NASA astronaut Randy Bresnik has been tweeted a video Friday of some fidget spinner experiments onboard the International Space Station.
The video kicks off with the spinner floating unmoored and rotating around at a rapid pace. "Allowing the fidget spinner to float reduces the bearing friction by permitting the rate of the central ring and outer spinner to equalize, and the whole thing spins as a unit," NASA explains.
A fidget spinner in space! How long does it spin? I'm not sure, but it’s a great way to experiment with Newton’s laws of motion! pic.twitter.com/5xIJDs2544— Randy Bresnik (@AstroKomrade) October 13, 2017
