Abstract
A medicine ball has a gyroscope housed inside a rotatable capsule, a user interface configured to receive a user input, a programmable controller, and a power source each communicatively coupled with the user interface. In operation, the power source supplies power to the gyroscope, the rotatable capsule, and the programmable controller in response to receiving the user input at the user interface. The programmable controller controls the movement of the gyroscope and the rotatable capsule in response to receiving the user input at the user interface.
Claims16
A medicine ball, comprising:
- a rotatable capsule;
- a gyroscope disposed within the rotatable capsule;
- an outer spherical body housing the rotatable capsule and the gyroscope;
- a user interface disposed on an exterior surface of the outer spherical body;
- a programmable controller disposed within an interior surface of the outer spherical body, the programmable controller electrically connected to the user interface, the programmable controller controlling a duration of activation of the gyroscope and of the rotatable capsule as a function of user input received at the user interface;
- a battery disposed within the interior surface of the outer spherical body, the battery electrically connected to the programmable controller, the gyroscope, and the rotatable capsule, the battery operatively controlled by the programmable controller to supply power to activate the gyroscope and the rotatable capsule in response to the user input received at the user interface;
- and
- the rotatable capsule upon activation rotates randomly on multiple axes relative to the outer spherical body, and the gyroscope upon activation rotates on at least one axis relative to the outer spherical body, the rotation of the rotatable capsule and of the gyroscope creating randomized forces directed toward the outer spherical body.
A method of operating a medicine ball including a gyroscope disposed within a rotatable capsule, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a user interface, a user input;
- supplying, in response to receiving the user input, power for activating the gyroscope and the rotatable capsule, the rotatable capsule upon activation rotating randomly on multiple axes and the gyroscope upon activation rotating on at least one axis, the rotation of the rotatable capsule and of the gyroscope creating randomized forces directed toward an outer surface of the medicine ball;
- and
- controlling, via a programmable controller, a duration of activation of the gyroscope and of the rotatable capsule as a function of the user input.
