This Bent Straw Spinner just takes two minutes to make. You will need two bent straws, a large bead, rubber band and a scissors. Make a small cut along the length of one straw. Press this cut and push it in the other straw. This way the two straws will be joined together. Now put one end in your mouth and blow. The other end will magically lift up like an Elephant’s trunk.
Then bend the lower end by ninety degrees. On blowing the whole straw will rotate round-and-round in circles. 
Not cut both straws and make them shorter. Once again make a small cut along the length of one straw. Press this cut and push it in the other straw. This way the two straws will be joined together. Now place a loose bead and then tie a rubber band. The rubber will act like a stopper and prevent you from swallowing it. Now hold the bead between your lips and blow. To your surprise the whole assembly will spin very fast in circles on the bead – which acts like a smooth bearing. This work was supported by IUCAA and Tata Trust.
