This elegant kinetic sculpture serves as both a stress reliever and a captivating conversation piece, ideal for professionals seeking a unique desk accessory or gift. ## Description It is a prolate ellipsoid with a highly specific ratio of length/width. It is a unique spinning top. It is a beautiful kinetic artwork. It is an elegant miniature sculpture. It is an effective stress reliever. And it demonstrates a bevy of scientific concepts from disparate studies in the field of physics, spin it on its side at high speeds and watch as it seemingly magically rises to an upright/vertical position as it turns, the set also includes a concave mirrored surface to help you get the hang of your spinning technique. Makes an excellent conversation starter, and a great and unique gift for all ages. ## Features - A metal prolate ellipsoid that demonstrates many physics concepts/effects, such as electrodynamics, lissajous figures, and the gelatinous ellipsoid effect - When spun at high speeds on its side, it will seemingly magically shift its position upright and vertical - A beautiful kinetic artwork or stress reliever - excellent conversation piece or gift ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Model Number | PhiTOP | | Number of Puzzle Pieces | 2 | | Assembly Required | No | | Batteries Required | No | | Batteries Included | No | | Material Type(s) | Metal | | Colour | Multicolor | | Product Dimensions | 5.08 x 5.08 x 5.08 cm; 77.11 g | | Item model number | PhiTOP | | Manufacturer recommended age | 5 years and up | | Manufacturer | Sirius Enigmas | | Item Weight | 77.1 g | ## Images ![Stress Relieving Ellipsoid Spinning Top Physics Marvel and Optics Art - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61YVU17wRAL.jpg) ![Stress Relieving Ellipsoid Spinning Top Physics Marvel and Optics Art - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41rHFs5TgWL.jpg) ![Stress Relieving Ellipsoid Spinning Top Physics Marvel and Optics Art - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61R6E4RSC7L.jpg) ![Stress Relieving Ellipsoid Spinning Top Physics Marvel and Optics Art - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41HjG2Icc6L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How long will this spin?** A: One of the reviewers said that they got it to spin indefinitely. They said that the put the stand on top of a cheap magnetic stirrer that they purchased on Amazon. Clever! **Q: How heavy/dense is the ellipsoid top? does it feel hefty or light in the hand?** A: It felt relatively heavy; likely as heavy as you'd expect it to. The thing is the bottom was really light and didn't seem to match the top.Also, I had somehow assumed the two were magnetized but they aren't so I wasn't going to get the egg to spin on the base like it's pictured for the life of me. I felt it was totally not worth the money so I sent it back. **Q: what does it do?** A: Spun on it's side, the metal egg changes position to rotate on one end. It spins a surprising length of time on the plate designed for this purpose. I am very satisfied with my purchase of this item. **Q: Amazon sells inexpensive, magnifying, hand-held mirrors (with rims). Would that work as a larger base for the ellipsoid top?** A: This egg spins on any smooth surface. It is a dense object. So it could break a glass surface if directed at a large angle to the surface. Any smooth surface you can direct the ellipsoid top toward will support a satisfactory spin experience, provided the surface survives the impact you have delivered. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars Product not price worthy *by B***. on Reviewed in India on 21 June 2023* size and quality of material it is too much costly ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very difficult, stand too small *by J***P on Reviewed in the United States on 15 April 2018* In theory this would be a great 'fidget' toy, but the concave stand- which is necessary for it to function properly- is just too small.Its extremely difficult to get a good spin without hitting the sides, which of course kills the whole thing. Or for that matter, accidentally flinging it across the room (already have broken one porcleain jar, keep all breakables at least 5 feet away when spinning this!). If they would have just been less chintzy enough to make the stand about 1" wider in diameter it would have made all the difference in the world I think. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ PhiTOP Physics Egg is really cool! *by F***E on Reviewed in the United States on 29 August 2020* The PhiTOP Physics Egg is a very interesting toy top the does a cool trick that seems intuitively odd. It seems natural for the "egg" to spin in a plane of the long axis of the "egg". That is, if it is just sitting still and you spin it in that position, it seems natural to expect it to keep spinning in that horizontal orientation. But, NO! If you can get it spinning in that horizontal orientation at a good speed, it will spontaneously tip itself up and spin very smoothly in the upright orientation! COOL!?!Of course it takes a fair amount of practice to get it to spin at a good speed without bumping onto the edge of the mirror base. I find it works best for me to use my thumb and middle finger on my right hand; like snapping my fingers. The instructions describe a different technique that might work better for you. Just keep trying. After a while you will probably get it to work. When you do, it is actually really cool.I bought another, larger convex glass disc, thinking the additional area would make it easier to get it spinning. That works, but the smaller mirror that comes with the PhiTOP has a small edge lip that keeps the PhiTOP on the mirror better, and gives me more successful spins.If you just can't make it work, I guess you can return it, OR, may I suggest that the PhiTOP might make a good gift for some friend or family member! I assure you that its does, in fact, work as described, but I can understand that it may be difficult for some people to do it. ## Frequently Bought Together - PhiTOP Stress Relieving Ellipsoid Spinning Top Physics Marvel and Optics Art by PhiTOP - Metal Flip Over Top (Tippie Top) by Gyroscope.com - Magic Makers The Rattleback, Physics Toy, Real Metal Alloy Collector's Edition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/234419376-stress-relieving-ellipsoid-spinning-top-physics-marvel-and-optics-art](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/234419376-stress-relieving-ellipsoid-spinning-top-physics-marvel-and-optics-art) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
