How to play wooden gyro

Children have two ways to pump up the gyroscope:

The first is horizontal pumping.

Bend over and flip your wrist from behind, throw the gyro forward and pull it back, and the gyro will rotate horizontally along the ground.

Insert the gyro fork into the transmitter, shake hands and pull the fork to the end. Align the notches and install the transmitter on the gyroscope.

Pull out the tooth and use the gear to drive the gyro to rotate. Pay attention to control the speed. Too fast tooth extraction will damage the gear, and too slow tooth extraction will not make the gyro turn fast enough.

Hold it in your left hand, and don't touch it below. You can also grasp the direction of gyro rotation with your right hand.

The second is vertical suction.

It is a technology that holds the gyro high above the top, from top to bottom, and hits it.

Gyro is a traditional folk sports game in China, which is widely spread. It is a wooden cone with a big top and a sharp bottom. Put the tip on the ground, wind the rope around the screw body, and then rotate to release the whip rope to make the gyro rotate; Or directly rotate the gyro by hand, and when the gyro touches the ground, pull it with a rope to make it rotate. There are also singing gyroscopes and diamond gyroscopes, which are hollow cylinders made of bamboo and wood, and the rotating shaft runs through them.
