Zoom-O Ball Launcher by Blip Toys only $9.99

Zoom-O Ball in packageIf you are the least bit interested in picking up a fun toy for yourself or a kid you know, give the Zoom-O ball a try. Literally go to Target and try it out. It’s a “Try me” toy you can play with off the shelf. I bet once you rev its engine and pull the trigger you will be hooked. And when you look at its cheap price you’re gonna buy it. If you can’t make it to Target or you have ADD, need instant gratification, lack self control, or are lazy, then you can try it virtually here.

Picco Z Silverlit (Airhogs Havoc Heli) Toy helicopter-Video

Also called Picoo Z from the Silverlit company

The gyro is basically the propeller on top of the main rotor. It has small weights at its tip. When it rotates it acts like a gyroscope and tries to maintain its original position.

or at best it resists changing its tilt angle. Its also connected to the main rotor so that as it maintains a level orientation it pulls and pushes the main rotor connecting rods, twisting the main rotor blades which in turn change the angle of the helicopter which keeps it level.

Well, just watch the video and see how the top propeller tries to stay level.
