    Looks like gyroscopic action to me. The weight won't increase, but the faster the balls spin, the more they will resist being moved.

    Isn't the PowerBall based on the same concept?

    Problem is that a spinning object will not resist being moved as long as its axis is allowed to keep the direction - i.e. as long as there is no torque on the axis. Spinning objects resist changing the direction of axis - the faster the rotation the more they resist.

    Like Cajun said it's nothing more than gyroscopic action and, like TT said, it will only resist a change in the direction of axis, not get any heavier. It's very simple and probably only generates a few pounds of resistance unless the gyro(s) spin at VERY high RPM.
