Description
The MESMOID is a right circular cylinder with an eccentric circle cut out of it. Because of its design, it can act like a rolling pendulum. Unlike a coin or wheel, when rolled it moves back and forth instead of in one direction only.
It is a miniature work of kinetic art.
It is an executive fidget device.
It is a tactile stress reliever.
It is an elegant paperweight.
Roll the MESMOID™ on a hard, smooth surface and its back-and-forth motion is
mesmerizing. Notice that it sometimes moves in a slightly curved path. Why???
