Toys and Games Reviews of Fascinations Levitron Self Starter
Customer Review: Handy to have and works fine.
Summary: 5 Stars
I sometimes have trouble spinning the Levitron top cleanly on my own and this little gizmo does the trick. It also prevents hand fatigue when I'm spinning up the top repeatedly while adjusting the weight.
The key to using this starter is to have a fresh alkaline battery installed; otherwise, it won't spin the top fast enough. It is also important not to push down on the top because that will also slow down the speed.
There is a screw that is intended to hold the battery cover in place, which potentially makes changing the battery a pain. I just removed the screw permanently. The cover stays in place with friction (at least on mine) and battery changing is then easy.
I bought this starter with my Super Levitron and Perpetuator over seven years ago. I have never had to replace the starter nor have I had any problems with it.
Use a light touch and a fresh battery and you'll get a perfect spin every time. What more can you ask for four dollars?
Description of Fascinations Levitron Self Starter
The Levitron is able to levitate in mid-air by harnessing the lifting power produced by two opposing magnets and is stabilized using the gyroscopic effect that is produced by spinning. -- The Levitron is a challenging puzzle to master. The longer you practice, the longer you will be able to keep the top floating and learn to perform tricks with it. It's getting to that point the separates the serious from the fly-by-nights. -- Comes with complete instructions plus a detailed scientific explanation for the science behind it. -- The Self-Starter aids the top, helping you get it to spin correctly every time. -- The Perpetuator is a special electronic drive that creates perpetual levitation.Learning & Education Toys
