An idea popped into my head the other day. It was a yoyo that can use electricity, but I couldn’t think of a good purpose that electricity could serve in a yoyo. So I’ve been wondering: If you had to incorporate the use of electricity into a yoyo’s design, what would you use it for? Powering lights? ---

Yeah powering lights would probably all I would do. If you made them motorized it would take all the fun out of them. ---

There is a yoyo that lights up and uses a generator instead of batteries. It’s one of the Blazing Team yoyos. Edit: Now that I think of it, just having a capacitor or battery pack in the yoyo would be great. Then you could put a USB port on it and charge your phone. ---

I have a fun nostalgic yomega rpm, it has an led display that shows max rpm, ypu can try and do most loops per 60 seconds, etc. its kinda fun. Still works too. ---

I’m quite impressed to see how much this has already been implememtned into yoyo designs. It’s got to be very hard to dopesign something like this – fitting strong electronic motors into a yoyo? Ouch. ---

I saw both of these on Amazon for sale as old stock… kinda cool! > **[Yomega RPM](https://yoyo.fandom.com/wiki/Yomega_RPM)** > > The RPM is a yo-yo by Yomega released in 1999.

I found an RPM the other day in a box’o random yos! I need to battery it up to see if it still works.
