The Pencil Spinner has quizzed scientists for over a hundred years.
You will pencil with rubber on one end, card sheet, refill and some tools.
Cut a 5-6 “V” shaped notches on the pencil.
Push a pin in a small rubber stopper.
Insert a card sheet fan in the pin. The fan should be free to rotate.
Insert the pin with the fan in the pencil rubber.
Now the spinner is ready to spin.
Take a ball pen refill and rub it hard on the notches.
The fan will surprisingly start rotating.
Replace the fan with a color disc.
As the Newton’s disc rotates all the seven colors will mix
And you will see a grayish white.
