a bowler who bowls slowly and the ball turns after pitching
an area of the board that rotates periodically
a rotating blade on a clevis, sandwiched among plastic beads, followed by a hook or hooks and livebait
Stone traveling with a rapid rotation
A space colony, usually built as an O'Neil cylinder. Artificial gravity is provided by the rotation of the colony. The word "Spinner" may also refer to a resident of these colonies.
Is another name for devices with wings that rotate very fast and rise into the sky. Also an aerial effect the casing is similar to the devices with wings to rotate the flames shoot out of the side.
a bowler who specialises in spinning the ball; a spin bowler. cf. off spinner and leg spinner.
A device for measuring in situ the velocity of fluid flow in a production or injection well based on the speed of rotation of an impeller, or spinner. The spinner can be helical, that is, longer than it is wide, or like a vane, which is similar to a fan blade. In both cases, the speed of rotation is measured and related to the effective velocity of the fluid. Friction and fluid viscosity cause the relationship to be slightly nonlinear at low effective velocities and introduce a threshold velocity below which the spinner does not turn. Results are interpreted using the multipass, two-pass or single-pass methods.
This a style of bowling referring to how a bowler releases a ball. The bowler's wrist rotates around the top of the ball at release causing the ball to spin down the lane (similar to a top). The axis is tilted up in the air and the track is small and far away from the gripping holes. This style helps to get the ball down the lane before it hooks.
