Abstract
A fidget coaster is a finished wood and clear acrylic disk. The fidget coaster has a sprocket grip on the outside which allows the user to spin gears on the inside beneath the clear acrylic. The inside is made up of a planetary gear and three smaller gears that rotate around another gear at the center. The activity of holding it and spinning it, or lightly turning it with a drink perched on it, is relaxing. It aids conversation and provides focus for people who need to occupy themselves with fidgeting to allow them to concentrate.
