The Saturn Experiment was a yoyo with an internal mechanism that permitted multiple layers of string in the gap without slowing the yoyo down, but still returned to the hand with a simple tug. The project saw five prototypes and talks with a major manufacturer in the yoyo industry. Unfortunately, the “Experiment” was kept top secret and never released to the public.
