A typical-looking fidget spinner, but with a motor in the
axle - so it can spin by itself.
Could be powered by cell batteries in the symmetrically
protruding nodes of the spinning section.
Or it could be wind-up, clockwork would also be good.

to regulate the power-assist. |

Yes.
It needs to look very much like a standard 3 or 5 lobed
fidget spinner, or it's nowhere. |
