How does Fidget Spinner fever toy spin in space?

One of the hottest toys around the world recently is spinner.Now that the fever has passed, the astronauts in the ISS turn it into a focus when conducting its motion experiments in a zero gravity environment.

In an experiment performed on the International Space Station (ISS), NASA astronaut Randy Bresnik in his Expedition 52/53 mission shared a video of him and his colleagues crazy. Because of this handheld toy.

Full-fledged crew with toy with the NASA logo printed, and create some movements like turning people vertically and horizontally, then floating freely in a zero gravity environment.

When the hand-held spinner starts to spin, it will always turn like that and will almost never stop if there is no impact that interferes with the movement. When the astronaut Randolph Bresnik turned it on, he removed his hand, the spinner spinning constantly and resting in the middle of space.

The flight engineer, Mark T. Vande Hei, gripped the spinner's wing and relaxed, so instead of the spinner, he was the one who moved around the center of the toy. Similarly, another crew member, Joe Acaba, also flipped his body vertically and floated between engine rooms.

What things can never be done on Earth. The astronauts flipped people repeatedly, making viewers dizzy. But at the end of the video, a gentle sight, the spinner appeared in front of the background of our planet Earth, when placed in a window at an ISS dome.

In fact, when playing Fidget Spinner from Earth, with a special structure that minimizes friction, it will still spin for a long time. But then, due to friction, the gyroscopes will slowly slow down and stop.
