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