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.

pressure-sensitive button in the centre might be used
to regulate the power-assist. |

When I was young the equivalent gadget was the toy

Your linked video is reasonably close, but it doesn't fit the
spec, if you read carefully. |

I did actually google this before I posted, so y'know. |

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