Breaspin doesn't need much electricity, complicated machinery, expensive replacement parts, or much effort to operate. All it requires from the user is holding it by his or her fingers and spin it. The spinning top and the base is an entire magnetic levitation system. Spinning in the air keeps the friction to a minimum which allows it spins for a long time with a fairly high speed. The spinning top can spin air freshener gas particles at thousands of revolutions per minute for hours.
