The Play & freeze ice cream ball is pretty neat, but a little pricey @ $28+

Bob "Surreal Gourmet" Blumer uses a salad spinner as the entropy source for the homemade version. The theory with that is that the cream which freezes gets less dense, and as a result tends towards the center, helping it to churn and keeps the denser (liquid) parts in closer contact with the ice.
The guys from Food Jammers did something very similar to this while camping, just to see if they could. It was basically a can in a can, sealed with tape and kicked around.
Later on in the episode, they used a washing machine motor geared down to about 60RPM to churn the cream in a bucket that was in a freezer.
