Spinner Dolphin
The spinner dolphin (''Stenella longirostris'') is a small dolphin found in off-shore tropical waters around the world. It is famous for its acrobatic displays in which it rotates around its longitudinal axis as it leaps through the air. It is a member of the family Delphinidae of toothed whales. Taxonomy The spinner dolphin is sometimes referred to as the long-snouted dolphin, particularly in older texts, to distinguish it from the similar Clymene dolphin, which is often called the short-snouted spinner dolphin. The species was described by John Gray in 1828. The four named subspecies are: *Eastern spinner dolphin (''S. l. orientalis''), from the tropical eastern Pacific. *Central American or Costa Rican spinner dolphin (''S. l. centroamericana''), also found in the tropical eastern Pacific. *Gray's or Hawaiian spinner dolphin (''S. l. longirostris''), from the central Pacific Ocean around Hawaii but represents a mixture of broadly similar subtypes found worldwide. *Dwarf spi ...

Spinner (Blade Runner)
Spinner is the generic term for the fictional flying cars used in the film ''Blade Runner''. A Spinner can be driven as a ground-based vehicle, take off vertically, hover, and cruise using jet propulsion much like the Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft currently in use today. They are used extensively by the police to patrol and survey the population, and it is clear that despite restrictions wealthy people can acquire spinner licenses. The vehicle was conceived and designed by Syd Mead and has been "replicated" in subsequent films such as ''The Fifth Element'' and the ''Star Wars'' prequel trilogy. These films have the popular vision of flying cars, and people use spinners like traditional cars; in ''Blade Runner'', the flying cars substitute for helicopters and very light jets. Designer Mead has described the spinner as an aerodyne – a vehicle which directs air downward to create lift, though press kits for the film stated that the spinner was propelled by three ...

Fidget Spinner
A fidget spinner is a toy that consists of a ball bearing in the center of a multi-lobed (typically two or three) flat structure made from metal or plastic designed to spin along its axis with pressure. Fidget spinners became trending toys in 2017, although similar devices had been invented as early as 1993. The toy has been promoted as helping people who have trouble focusing or those who may need to fidget to relieve nervous energy, anxiety, or psychological stress. There are claims that a fidget spinner can help calm down people who have anxiety or neurodivergences, like ADHD and autism. However, as of May 2017, there is no scientific evidence that they are effective as a treatment for ADHD. Development In October 2016, inspired by the '' Fidget Cube'' Kickstarter campaign, Allan Maman used his Byram Hills High Schools 3-D printers to make ''Fidget360'' with the help of his physics teacher, Eric Savino and worked with Cooper Weiss to promote the toy.

Spinner Shark
The spinner shark (''Carcharhinus brevipinna'') is a species of requiem shark, in the family Carcharhinidae, named for the spinning leaps it makes as a part of its feeding strategy. This species occurs in tropical and warm temperate waters worldwide, except for in the eastern Pacific Ocean. It is found from coastal to offshore habitats to a depth of , though it prefers shallow water. The spinner shark resembles a larger version of the blacktip shark (''C. limbatus''), with a slender body, long snout, and black-marked fins. This species can be distinguished from the blacktip shark by the first dorsal fin, which has a different shape and is placed further back, and by the black tip on the anal fin (in adults only). It attains a maximum length of . Spinner sharks are swift and gregarious predators that feed on a wide variety of small bony fishes and cephalopods. When feeding on schools of forage fish, they speed vertically through the school while spinning on their axis, eruptin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Spinnerbait
A spinnerbait or spinner is any one of a family of hybrid fishing lures that combines the designs of a swimbait with one or more spoon lure blades. Spinnerbaits get the name from the action of the metallic blades, which passively revolve around the attachment point like a spinning propeller when the lure is in motion, creating varying degrees of vibration and flashing that mimic small fish or other preys of interest to large predatory fishes. The two most popular types of spinnerbaits are the ''in-line spinner'' and ''safety pin spinnerbait'', though others such as the ''tail spinner'' also exist. Spinnerbaits are used principally for catching freshwater fishes such as perch, pike and bass. Mode of operation Spinnerbaits attract predatory fish primarily by creating significant amount of turbulence, noise and flashing reflections with the spinning blade. The turbulence waves, in particular, provoke the fish's lateral line system, a special tactile sensory organ that enables f ...

Spinner (wheel)
The spinner on automobile wheels historically refers to knock-off hub nuts or center caps. They may be the actual, or intended to simulate, the design used on antique vehicles or vintage sports cars. A "spinner wheel" in contemporary usage is a type of hubcap or inner wheel ornament, that spins independently inside of a wheel itself when the vehicle is in motion, and continues to spin once the vehicle has come to a stop. Original use The spinner or "knock-off" originated with Rudge-Whitworth centerlock wire wheels and hubs, which were first patented in 1908. The spinner was a threaded, winged nut designed to keep the wheel fastened to the hub. They were screwed on and "knocked on tightly" using a hammer, hence the name "knock-offs". Most setups will feature right-hand threads on the left side of the vehicle, and left-hand threads (rotate clockwise to remove) on the vehicle's right side so the screw-on spinner would stay tightened as the auto was in forward motion. This style ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
