  • The Hypnoloid is the opposite of a spinning top, contacting the surface with its entire surface area.
  • The shape is called an oloid, discovered by German sculptor and mathematician Paul Schatz.
  • Schatz describes the oloid as a figure formed when the distance between two disk centers equals the radius.
  • The Hypnoloid is CNC-machined from aluminum and sold by Hypnotiq for $70.
