DENJIRO: Today, I'm going to show you a toy that moves around in a strange manner. It's this spinning top here. Let's see it spinning from above.
BOY: There's something coming out from the bottom! It looks like a snake!
DENJIRO: You can see that there is an object that looks like a snake appearing and disappearing from under the top. This is an old toy called a "snake spinning top." Now, let me explain the principle behind this strange movement.
The top's shaft is made of metal. The "snake" is also made of metal. The shaft and the snake… attract like this. This is the key. The shaft is magnetized, which means it holds magnetic force. To magnetize the shaft, all you need to do is rub it with a magnet.
When you spin the top while the shaft is magnetized, the snake moves around the shaft while touching it. The snake is pushed forward by the rotation of the shaft and comes back once it reaches the end. Now, it moves in the opposite direction from which it came. Next, it turns and moves in the other direction again at the head of the snake. This is how the snake was making those strange movements.
This snake spinning top can easily be made with things that are available at home. To make the top, cut a wire hanger and sharpen its end, then put it through a circular piece of cardboard. To make the snake, reshape a paper clip like this. You can easily magnetize the shaft by using a magnet sold in stores. Give it a try at home!
