LIMBO is a smart, self-balancing electric gyro, disguised as a beautiful CNC-machined spinning top that spins for hours. Go tell them they’re probably dreaming!Ĭlick here to Buy Now: $59.00 $99.00 (40% off). The electric gyro requires USB charging, and the Limbo comes with a charging cable too, to keep the magic going… but no one else will know the secret behind why the top you began spinning at your table at the beginning of the work-day continued spinning through countless meetings, lunch breaks, and even till the end of the day.

It bounces off obstacles, teetering a little before regaining its balance, and unless manually stopped, can go on for anywhere between 4 and 24 hours (there’s a limited-edition World Record Limbo kit available too). The electric gyroscope spins at a dizzying speed of 10,000 RPM, and is perfectly silent, allowing the Limbo to outwardly seem like any normal top… until you take it for a literal spin! The gyro within the Limbo gives it the acceleration it needs to keep spinning, even when pushed, knocked over, or made to jump from one surface to another. It allows the top to spin on any surface, from a table, to a hand, to even a pillow. The gyroscope enables the Limbo to keep spinning continuously, even overcoming hurdles in the process. Machined from solid aluminum (there’s even an indestructible titanium version) with a stainless steel ball at its base, the Limbo comes with a hollow interior which houses an electric gyroscope. In fact, it holds a world record for spinning continuously for 27 hours 9 minutes and 24 seconds. Holding a Guinness World Record for the longest spin time, the Limbo top can literally spin for hours. In fact, you’d have to be dreaming (literally) for the top to spin forever, right? No! That’s where the Limbo comes in. If you spin a top, does it keep spinning for hours and hours, or does it, after a few minutes, return to its position of rest? The latter, obviously. Nolan has us question a pretty straightforward phenomenon. As the camera zoomed in, the top slightly faltered and everyone around me gasped as the scene cut to a close, leaving us to wonder if DiCaprio, who was united with his children, was dreaming about it or not. The idea was that in his dreams, the top kept spinning, and in reality, the top eventually returned to its static position.

I remember the camera slow-zooming into DiCaprio’s totem, the spinning top. One of cinema’s greatest moments was the last second of Christopher Nolan’s Inception.
