How to play with the origami spinning top
1. Place the top on a flat surface.
2. Blow on the top from above at a distance of
15 to 20 cm to create a blast of air
over the entire wing surface.
3. If air hits the top correctly, it will spin to the left.
Flow of air
If it does not spin well, check the following points,
adjust your method and try again.
Are you too close when you blow on the top?
Is the top warped?
Is the dent too small?
Caution
Continuing to blow on the top may leave you
lightheaded, dizzy, or short of oxygen.
Take many breaks while playing with the top.
