physical experience a cone on a plane

thingiverse

To explain this experience, let us turn to the drawing that shows the top view of A and the side view of this experience. The thing is that the guides on which the cone rolls are located at some angle to each other. Therefore, in the" lower " position A, the cone rests on them near its middle, and in the "upper" position B, it rests on its ends. The inclination of the guides in relation to the horizontal surface of the table is selected so that the center of gravity of the cone C in position A was higher than in position B. Then the cone, moving as it were "from the bottom up", actually rolls down from the top, in accordance with the laws of classical mechanics.
