Toy helices having variable rates of movement

A toy helix including a plurality of turns, the toy helix comprising:

• a first helical portion having a first attraction force between adjacent turns of said first helical portion, said adjacent turns of said first helical portion each having a first cross-sectional width;
• and
• a second helical portion coupled to said first helical portion, said second helical portion having a second attraction force different than said first attraction force between adjacent turns of said second helical portion, said adjacent turns of said second helical portion each having a second cross-sectional width different from said first cross-sectional width;
• respective adjacent turns of said first helical portion and respective adjacent turns of said second helical portion each normally disposed in contact with one another;
• and
• said turns of said first helical portion and said turns of said second helical portion respectfully made of first and second different materials;
• wherein said first helical portion is capable of moving at a different rate than said second helical portion.

A toy helix including a plurality of turns, the toy helix comprising:

• a first helical portion having a plurality of adjacent first turns made of a first material, said plurality of adjacent first turns each having at least one of a first width and a first thickness;
• a second helical portion having a plurality of adjacent second turns made of a second material, said plurality of adjacent second turns each having at least one of a second width and a second thickness, said at least one first width and first thickness being different than said at least one second width and second thickness;
• said plurality of adjacent first turns and said plurality of adjacent second turns each having an attraction force therebetween, whereby said plurality of adjacent first turns and said plurality of adjacent second turns are each normally disposed in contact with one another;
• whereby said first helical portion has a first attraction force between said plurality of adjacent first turns and said second helical portion has a second attraction force between said plurality of adjacent second turns, and said first helical portion thereby moves at a different rate than said second helical portion.
