It might lend a more dynamic or natural sound to music?
Why? Perhaps it has to do with gravity and the coriolis force.
If the sound is emitted in the same direction as the coriolis force would effect it. Which would lend for a speaker cone that rotates counterclockwise as you are looking at the opening.

I would use the same type of heat treated metal but:
1. I would make the pivot abutment surface areas larger.
2. I would Mill the metal rather than wrap it.
3. I would use more metal at lateral straying areas.
And with that you would have what the pliers were meant to be.

Weight Lifting Hat 07 26 2021
I have to wonder if anyone has designed a weight lifting hat? I mean one with a spike/rod on the top of it where you can add weights to it there?
What is the purpose of such a thing?
If you have a bulging/slipped disk in your back you will find that you can't do any squats anymore with weight. But what if that weight was directly aligned on the top of your head? It might be of at least two benefits?
1. Weight distribution across a longer area of your spinal column?
2. Alignment of the spine to the base of the neck better because those upper muscles are being facilitated. Leading to better posture and balance and strength? Think of the muscles along the entire spinal column being strengthened at once. Rather than those below the shoulders.
Perhaps when the spinal column decompresses it is more of a unified decompression and therefore more beneficial?
And I am not talking about a lot of weight either.
I would indeed look like one of those spiked helmets of war. However it would likely have a 1" solid pole sticking up? With the ability to peg/key lock the weights on the helmet so that they don't fall on your toes or break up the floor.
I find none with a brief internet search. However I might search a little more.

Engines today are made transverse sometimes, if a "V" model. Although I notice there are fewer of these being built new.
A problem arises when working in the back of such engines. I have found it causes a lot of knee problems due to the hyperextension required. As well as back pain from having to maintain a lean over of the upper body while maintaining precision manual dexterity.
And this is from my memory of decades ago.
What would be helpful would be a steel solid platform that extends over the engine compartment that the mechanic can lay on.
Right away I can hear the D Advocate chiming in, we don't want people laying down on the job. And what is a mechanics creeper?
Working from underneath a raised car? Plenty of rust and dirt falling in the eyes.
The platform would be helpful. But most garages wouldn't have room.
Too specialized equipment? I have seen light bulbs being changed with aerial lifts whereby a person of sound mind could have safely foot a ladder.
