Spinning a Tungsten Top in a Vacuum Chamber

In this video I’m attempting to better understand the upper limits of a spinning top. How much does drag affect spin times? How does high rpm influence the way a top spins? How much longer will one spin in a vacuum chamber? This video doesn’t completely answer all of these questions - there are many more factors involved - but it’s a starting point. I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I did.
