An Incredible 6-Year-Old Yo-Yo Master

An Incredible 6-Year-Old Yo-Yo Master

Depending on your age, "Yo-yo" may be an internet mime, meaning "You only young once" or a toy used for tricks, either way, we can agree that Kazuya Murata nails both, they call him baby Yo-yo and he's an urban legend at the tender age of six.

So how can a 6 year-old managed to pull this off? What is the science behind these trick yo-yo's are all about energy transfer because when you let go of it, because it's falling from a height that's potential energy because you're throwing it down that kinetic energy and so all of this means, when hit the end of the string, it's the third type of energy, it's now got angular kinetic energy all the energy has gone into making it rotate.

Some of these tricks only possible because he keeps the Yo-yo spinning that creates a gyroscopic effect makes it really stable, it resists any change in its direction so I always rotate around an axis that points in the same direction, this means that the Yo-yo is going to be very predictable, so he knows exactly where that Yo-yo gonna be and he knows exactly how it's going to behave, so Kazuya transfers all the energy into spinning power.
