Etymology

Gold Dynamo Roller is derived from Gold, Dynamo and Roller. Dynamo is a type of an electrical generator, which the Gold Dynamo Roller seems partly based on. Gold refers to the fact that it is a gilded Dynamo Roller, and also used to differentiate the Gold Dynamo Roller from the Dynamo Roller.

ダイナモローラーテスラ dainamo rōrā tesura means Dynamo Roller Tesla. Tesla refers to Nikola Tesla, a Serbian American inventor known for his work in electrical engineering. Tesla may also refer to a Tesla coil.
