An illustrated 3D concept sequence for Air-Supported Spinning Top. A spinning-top exhibit introduces rotation and orientation using an air-supported arrangement.
Open the 3D viewing guideThis illustrated model sequence introduces the proposed experience. Agree the supplied configuration and operating programme for the project.
THE ACTIVITY & MECHANISM
Observe rotation in an air-supported arrangement
A spinning-top exhibit introduces rotation and orientation using an air-supported arrangement. The arrangement separates rotation about the top's own axis from changes in that axis's direction, allowing spin and precession to be identified as different movements.

Try the interaction
View the air-supported rotating assembly.
- 02
Observe the response
Follow the illustrated start, acceleration and air-support sequence.

Explore the supportDelivery, installation & after-sales terms
- Payment
- A 50% deposit is payable after the contract is signed. The remaining balance is paid after acceptance and before dispatch, so full payment is received before dispatch. Payment methods are agreed in the contract.
- Packaging & transport
- Metal shipping cases or multilayer wood-panel shipping cases. Transport arrangements and costs are agreed to suit the project.
- Materials & painted finish
- Common material options include Q235 steel, stainless steel, aluminium alloy, PVC, acrylic, engineering plastics. The combination is selected for each configuration. Marine anti-corrosion paint with a piano-gloss automotive paint finish. Applied to painted parts.
- Typical power · powered versions
- Standard products: 100–500 W; oversized installations: 1,000–5,000 W. Typical ranges for powered versions. Confirm the selected model and final connected load.
- Product maintenance
- Agree cleaning, control checks and inspection of accessible parts for the supplied configuration.
- Installation & training
- Complimentary training is available on site or remotely, according to project needs. If installation or on-site after-sales service is not included in the product price, the customer pays the actual travel expenses incurred, unless the contract provides otherwise.
- Factory acceptance & handover
- Mid-production and pre-dispatch checks are provided. Factory acceptance can take place in person at the factory or through acceptance videos. Installation and operating videos, written installation and operating instructions, drawings and a spare-parts list are provided.
- Complimentary parts
- 24 months of complimentary spare-parts support, starting when the exhibit is handed over for use. Covers faults not caused by the user. User-caused or deliberate damage is excluded. Exhibit Engineers pays the shipping cost of complimentary spare parts during the 24-month support period.
- Warranty & repair labour
- The whole-exhibit warranty period and repair labour scope and charges are agreed in the contract.
Can we discuss a prototype or sample for a custom version?
Yes. Prototype testing and sample fabrication are available for custom projects. Discuss which functions or features you need to review for your version. The scope, cost and schedule are agreed for the project.
How prototype testing & samples workWhat can be adapted for our project?
Discuss the appearance, interpretation, controls and installed configuration of Air-Supported Spinning Top for your audience and space.
What do the images and videos show?
The gallery contains design or catalogue views. Any design-image sequence uses those existing views and does not demonstrate physical operation. Project drawings define the supplied configuration.
