You will need two aluminum cups and some strips of paper to make this spinning hoop. Take the old aluminum can of a used candle and mark 8 lines. Cut its rim at 8 equal points. Then fold 4 alternate lugs inwards. Fold the other 4 outwards. Twist the 4 outward lugs in the same direction. Make holes in their centre and stick 4 strips on the lugs to make a twisted hoop. As the lugs are twisted so the paper strips will act like fan blades. Place the wooden stick in a loose plastic straw which will act like a bush bearing. If you place this whole assembly under a ceiling fan then it will spin smoothly. This work was supported by IUCAA and Tata Trust.
