General / colour combination theory

« on: November 21, 2008, 12:16:56 AM »

I was wondering, if you had 2 or more diabolos orbiting really fast or in a sprinkler, could the colours form a new colour?
I'll better explain this.
A common nineth grade experiment is to cut out a paper circle and colour one third yellow, one third red and one third blue, the primary colours.
you then attach a spindle in the centre of the circle and spin the circle. You find that the circle of three colours appears to be white.
so could this be applied to diaboloing, by obtaining a red, blue and yellow diabolo and doing a 3d tripple sprinkler or something?
could the audience see 3 coloured circles turn into one white circle?
any ideas?

Diabolo.ca Policy & Feedback / replacing letters with apostrophies ( these things ')

« on: September 19, 2008, 10:54:29 AM »

Ive just noticed that so many vowels are being replaced by apostrophies..
why was this done, personally i find it harder to read and english has been the central language in my life.
im sure my english teachers would have a fit as merely forgeting one capital letter gets their goat.
I think it will be dificult for people from around the world who are not as fluent in english.
its just a thought
any ideas

Tricks / Diabolo accidents and weird stuff

« on: January 29, 2008, 08:37:43 AM »

What weird or abnormal things have heppened with your diabolos or what has been the biggest accident you've had??

Mine would be when i was diaboloing in the kitchen, doing a circular acceleration. Then suddenly the string unwraped and the diabolo flew into the soap and kept spinning and then jumped off and landed in greasy dishes. so it was as if it was trying to clean the dishes..
