Several years ago at GE in the Tool & Die shop during a slow spell of work we made brass dreidels to keep busy.
They were machined so perfect that you can spin them on a granite surface for almost 3 minutes
This one is spinning at over 1000 rpm and with the Vivitar 285HV flash set at lowest power it gives shortest flash duration (1/30,000 sec.).We played the game last night but had to do it on a rough surface to speed the game up. 3 minutes for a spin to stop is much to much.
20 seconds is better and with a red solo cup in hand the wait isn't that bad.
