** Another Gerry Anderson example is ''Joe 90'''s 'Rat Trap', a kind of spherical cage in which Joe sits while it spins rapidly around him, imprinting him with this week's brain pattern. I always wondered why it didn't make him dizzy.
** And the spinning top-style flying saucers from Anderson's UFO.
** Roberta Leigh's (associate of Anderson) puppet series ''[[Space Patrol (UK)|Space Patrol]]'' (aka ''Planet Patrol'') had doughnut-shaped spacecraft that were surrounded by spinning forcefields in flight. For a group of people who had to worry about things like strings getting caught, they sure did love this trope.
* In the movie ''[[The Lawnmower Man]]'' the insane protagonist strapped himself into one of those gyroscope contraptions with the hoops, and after much spinning, his mind was projected into virtual reality. Don't ask.
** The idea being to allow his body to move and reorient freely in all directions to match appearances inside the [[Cyberspace|virtual space]].
