Fidget spinners are all the rage these days, but when you don't want to get your friend a fidget spinner, what other options are there? Check out the Moondrop Fidget Spinner at OddityMall.com.
This unique fidget spinner simulates the lighter gravity on the moon using magnets and a copper ring. This classic physics trick is called Lenz's Law, which, according to Encyclopedia Britannica, says that when a magnet is moved toward a conducting ring, an induced electromotive force causes a current to flow in a direction such that the magnetic field inside the ring opposes the increase of flux through the ring from the approaching magnet.
