This exhibit features
a very unexpected behaviour: after rotating the hull-like rattleback
counter-clockwise it stope, and starts rotating in the opposite
direction for more than 20 sec.
This is extremely difficult to explain - but do we need to explain
everything? Nevertheless it gives raise to questins on preservation of
energy: where is the energy at the very moment just before it start
rotating in the opposite direction?
The stand is spectacular in order to
draw attention. It seems to le tilted.
