Inception!

Im watching this 3 hours, and it's still spinning. Awesome!
tekkblade
That is some amazingly low friction to allow those tops to spin for almost 20 minutes.
DeadlyFood
What material do they make the tops/pedestals from like damn, friction thats basically negligible for 17 minutes is insane
HydrochloricKitten
I think it was iron. It's tangentally stated in the video as they're walking through the Craftsmen's tip development @ 9:40

Almost 19 minutes! Good lawd
HornoTostador
Amazing.
slowtreme
thats how long I watched the gif before realizing the top wasn't self stabilizing intermittantly
jqdao3
As a gay man, i love a good top battle.

And they do it without computer aided tools,only spacespin team that use computer tools.

HydrochloricKitten
2/2 That said, SpaceSpin proved their point about round vs sharp in instability tolerance, as you can see when the Craftman's finally goes.
thrymn
Talking about how it looks smooth, then the second it starts to go it looks like it gives up entirely?
HydrochloricKitten
You can see tiny instability in the SpaceSpin one throughout, combined with a ball tip, it was losing energy faster than the other. 1/2

darbvader
This is awesome!
YourFriendBen
Feel that the only true way to make it completely fairly assessed are for the tops to be swapped from launchers and also from opposite posts
Falanxzealot
Further, this looks like it's in open air. With that kind of sustained spin, air currents, thermal fluctuations, all sorts of factors
RAGESTARVED
They should also have been manufactured on the same equipment, if they weren't already.
InappropriateCommentMachine
I assume manufacturing was part of the challenge
karmeaa
Exactly. In the beginning there is a clear failure on the right side.
guardianzero
incredible! why don't we have tv like this in the us?
encyclopediabritannica
Thanks Trump.
altrdgenetics
NHK world is available on webstream and as mobile apps in the USA... no strings, watch it all the time.
CircusWrongMan
Have you watched How It's Made?
cesarnero
but i never see cocacola and pepsi compete to create blast resistant coke bottle for afgan children...
Elroydb
It's called "How It's Made"
MrTay
We do. We have like 10k channels. Discovery has like 200 I'm they have stuff like this all the time
bachterman
everybody's watching "reality" tv
ABillionDucks
Uhh, we do. It's called beyblade.
yesyoucancancan
Cos I'm not going to sit there and watch two spinning tops for 18 minutes.
crazymojomonkey
in a way we do. It's basically viewing the culmination of a shared vision and passion. In Japan it's expressed with engineering. Here 1/
crazymojomonkey
2/ it's porn :(

That all depends on what we're making..... I think if the category was Methamphetamine we'd do alright.

Fun fact, crystall meth was first synthesized by japanese chemist nagai nagayoshi.

icer22x
Because it doesn't sell. The people that actually watch TV would rather see a scripted slut-fest than learn anything about the world.
OwlFarm
Because Americans are entertained by shit like Jersey Shore and Honey BooBoo.
Icecreaman
I believe the show is called beyblades
skyshadow07eh8
I lived in Japan, weird shows One was a competition on how long these two girls could turn a water wheel to light a bulb with pee.
Yamko
Lol the answer to that question will anger many Americans. This is the nation that watches kardashians and the bachelors. Lmao
hiromagic
Kardashians, the Apprentice, the list goes on. The land of the barren.
GoCorral
19 minutes of watching a top spin? I can't imagine why that wouldn't be syndicated. Would fit well with the "Watching Paint Dry" show crowd.
ImSoHM02
YouTube is your best friend for content like this, this wouldn't fly on US TV
madspinner
It's on NHK world. I have it on AT&T uverse. I love it. My wife thinks I'm crazy.
2001ASpaceOatmeal
People won't watch it. What the general public finds as entertaining is vastly different in the US compared to Japan.
Higure
I think the real difference lies in what the networks THINK people find entertaining.
fenomas
Not that I've noticed. I'd say JP tv is ~99% crud, like the US or anywhere, it's just that the bottom 99% doesn't get exported very much.
2001ASpaceOatmeal
Sad really since Japan has some pretty cool shows.
OverpricedCrayon
It probably doesn't feel like it on the internet but that's a minority opinion amongst the general population of the US
Wlfpck
Ppl in here in the U.S. like shows such as Jersey Shore, Honey Booboo, keeping up with the kardashians, etc. Ratings show that. :(

Yeh for example "keeping up with the Kardashians"

I shall upvote this because it is true

Have you ever watched Japanese TV? Half of the shows is twice as dumb as Kardashians.
SomeRandomDane
I don't know what you're talking about
mide8
I've suggested we should do a 1:1 swap of college football with college space programs but I'm not finding much agreement. :(
frookyfrook
I agree completely. That's the only way for America to compete in this new world. Not by bringing back coal jobs.

PandaSamurai
I wouldn't go *that* far. The American entertainment industry is just intently focused on what they know will work. So even if (1/?)
PandaSamurai
something *else* might work, even if it might even work miles better, most big studios won't be the first ones to try it. That's why (2/?)
PandaSamurai
there are still terrible sitcoms, clearly scripted and heavily edited reality TV shows, and a general lack of diversity. It's low-risk.
BecauseJapan
Sorry
GasBandit
Well, here they call it Beyblade.
JoeinCanada
It don't blow up or burst into flames. You don't have to watch it behind reinforced plastic. It's not noisy. Can't drive it. Not candy red.

As a Korean who is part of the "intellectual world", you guys are smart & we can be stupid. Suicide is high here cuz of misplaced values.

You think the average American is going to tune in for 19 minutes of watching a top spin?
