If you’re like me, you’ve been a bit uneasy and perhaps bitter that you didn’t get the foam projectile device you wanted so badly for Christmas. Wipe those tears, because it’s a new year and there’s something even cooler you’ll want to get your hands on.
Phil Sluder of Triaxial Design has all the boys and girls in a ring hurling rage (as you’ll see in the video) with a toy he designed along with a particle physicist, a machinist and a chicken farmer. It’s the Zyclone, and if you don’t buy one after reading this, the rest of this year will be BORING.
Here’s the scoop, the process Phil went through to design it in SolidWorks and bring the toy to market with a little advice for those wanting to do the same.
Lame. You so, do not have enough playful-looking, plastic figurines sitting on your desk or hanging out of your pockets. (This is the part where two small Korean children suddenly appear with giant smiles and laughter.)
Don’t you just love tops. I’ve always liked them. They just make you feel like stripping out the carpet, painting yourself red and spinning as many as you can right before the in-laws walk into the room.
