Abstract
Abstract An aerodynamic disc-shaped object is provided, comprising a disc, an outer toroidal rim section attached to the periphery of the disc, and a central section disposed within the center of the disc, wherein the central section comprises a substantial amount of the weight of the disc-shaped object for increasing the rotational spin of the object.
