Originally designed on Orchard (https://3DOrchard.com), this Mechanical paradox is inspired by the up-hill roller: (https://plus.maths.org/content/defying-gravity-uphill-roller). This device could help in classrooms, illustrating concepts of gravity, center of mass, momentum, and friction, to name a few: https://3dorchard.com/app/single/582d7ad1b57c4f800a2b4368/58ab756b7835370c44313c4f How I Designed This Sketching the cut profile for the notch in the Orchard modeling interface (https://3dorchard.com/#!/single/582d7ad1b57c4f800a2b4368/584da5179092ef990b346d54) Pulled (extruded) the 2D sketch into a 3D object to create a block, cut the block.
