How to make a handmade gyro?
Preparation materials: first of all, you need to prepare some materials for making gyro. This includes a pencil, a knife, a rubber band and a blank sheet of paper. Making gyro chassis: cut the white paper into a circle, then roll it into a cone with the bottom facing up. Seal the bottom of the cone with glue so that the position of the gyro is ready.
1, making the top of the gyro.
To make the top of the gyro: draw a circle on another piece of white paper and cut it out like the chassis. Then stick it on the gyro chassis. Making a gyro shaft: sharpen the top of the pencil so as to insert it into the center hole of the gyro chassis. Then, fix the pencil on the gyro chassis with a rubber band.
2. Draw a circle like the gyro chassis on a piece of white paper.
Making gyro blades: draw a circle on a piece of white paper like the gyro chassis and cut it out. Then fold it into a small triangle and stick it on the gyro chassis. Adjust the gyro: put the gyro on a smooth surface and gently turn the pencil by hand to make the gyro turn.
3. If the gyro rotates unsteadily.
If the gyro rotation is unstable, the position of gyro blades can be adjusted until it can rotate stably. Production complete: Now the hand-made gyro is ready! You can try rotating it on different surfaces to see which one works best.
Expand knowledge:
Make gyroscopes of different colors: You can use colored paper to make the turf and leaves of the gyro, which will make your gyro look more colorful. Make gyroscopes with different shapes: In addition to circles, you can also try to make gyroscopes with different shapes of paper, such as squares and triangles.
Increase weight: If you want your gyro to be more stable, you can try to add some weight to the gyro blades, such as using a small bead or metal sheet. Gyro is one of the earliest folk entertainment tools in China, also known as sudra and Gan Le in Minnan.
