In recent years, many induction flying toys have become children’s favourite, such as flying orbs, flying disc balls, flying UFO balls and flying dolls. Children love them because of their unique features: built-in induction sensors. First of all, children love them because they could use their hands to control them, directing them to fly the air. Different from those usual RC flying toys which are controlled to move through a remote, for instance a RC car, an induction flying toy allows children to direct them to fly with their hands instead of a remote. As for children, using their hands does not only means more convenience than using remotes but also more fun. In other words, they could immerse themselves more in the game when their vision, attention as well as  their hands are involved in the flying game. Therefore, induction flying toys become so popular should be mainly attributed to their built-in induction sensors which allow children to play with their hands, engaging them more in the flying game. According to Lee Teschler, a proximity sensor installed in the plastic bottom of the flying toy could automatically control its power to fly higher or lower. When this induction sensor detects some object right below its base, it will power up enough to rise up t of fly for some seconds, then reduce the power gently to fly down till it detect another object below it.
