Below is a further discussion by Henry Reich that I think helps summarize why axes 1 and 3 are generally stable while axis 2 is not:
In general, you might imagine that because the object can rotate in a bunch of different directions, the components of energy and momentum could be free to change while keeping the total momentum constant.
However, in the case of axis 1, the kinetic energy is the highest possible for a given angular momentum, and in the case of axis 3, the kinetic energy is the lowest possible for a given angular momentum (which can be easily shown from conservation of energy and momentum equations, and is also fairly intuitive from the fact that kinetic energy is proportional to velocity squared, while momentum is proportional to velocity - so in the case of axis 1, the smaller masses will have to be spinning faster for a given momentum, and will thus have more energy, and vice versa for axis 3 where all the masses are spinning: the energy will be lowest). In fact, this is a strict inequality - if the energy is highest possible, there are no other possible combinations of momenta other than L2=L3=0, and vice versa for if the energy is the lowest possible.
Because of this, in the case of axis 1 the energy is so high that there simply aren't any other possible combinations of angular momentum components L1, L2 and L3 - the object would have to lose energy in order to spin differently. And in the case of axis 3, the energy is so low that there likewise is no way for the object to be rotating other than purely around axis 3 - it would have to gain energy. However, there's no such constraint for axis 2, since the energy is somewhere in between the min and max possible. This, together with the centrifugal effects, means that the components of momentum DO change.

As a carpenter for over fifty years I've recognized this behavior with flipping of a hammer because I early on decided to teach myself to juggle hammers. I tried to prevent the twist-flip with absolutely no success. It became clear there was more stability in working with the flip instead of against it. This explanation is such a relief! I thought it was a personal curse. Now I realize hammers are the perfect object to demonstrate this motion because they, unlike tennis rackets, have no symmetry about any axis!

This physics trick puzzled me years ago when I was flipping a claw hammer. No matter what I did or how I flipped it it would not just flip with the claw on the right and the hammerhead on the left. It would end up that way but half way through the flip, the claw and hammer would switch sides. From what I understood of physics at the time, I assumed it was because either the claw or the hammer weighed more than the other and gravity interrupted the momentum. But this video proves me wrong. One thing I dont understand is that if its perfectly balanced, it shouldn't happen. I still think that Earths rotation has something to do with it.

My first reaction was that it is quite rude to make such an attempt, if not actually heretical - Feynman being such a towering icon of scientific thinking. Then I thought 'Nah, Feynman would love it.' I was fairly comfortable with understanding this phenomenon, but I suddenly had a very nasty moment when the subject of the Earth doing the same was raised. It being a fluid filled object and everything - magnetic poles flipping as evidence. I'm glad he could assure us it would not. So, did he prove Feynman wrong? Because my brain still hurts.

I mean, you are adding spin without realizing it. In the point mass simulation even the intermediate axis is stable until there was a tiny deviation from exactly straight spinning.

@@hellencitaUwU the air has nothing to do with it. as derek (veritasium) said, in the reference frame of the initial rotation of the disk, the centrifugal force inherent to the rotation is what causes the disk to flip, with a frequency dependent on how much deviation the smaller masses are initially given from the axis of rotation. that's why the wingnut spins for so long between each flip, while most other things flip much sooner: the wingnut was given very nearly axis aligned rotation when it was spun off of its screw, so the centrifugal turning forces are very small for a rather long time.

I don't understand how it abruptly stops. That isn't intuitive at all. Due to newtons laws a force in motion should stay in motion. Yet it goes from spinning then changes direction which okay - i gotcha. Yet the fact it stops basically to the opposite direction before ABRUPTLY stopping. While rotating still around the first axis. Then it SUDDENLY goes to the previous direction before stopping again! How. Why.
@phiefer3
@phiefer3 4 ай бұрын
@@dianapennepacker6854 This was actually explained in the video. The forces that cause it to flip start off small, and as they pull it further from the axis they get larger causing the flip the accelerate, but in the second half of flip they're now moving closer to the axis causing those forces to get smaller, which decelerates the flip. It never stops flipping, abruptly or otherwise. It's just flipping very slowly when it's closely aligned with the main axis of rotation. This is sort of like how when you throw an object up it may seem as if it stops for a moment at the peak before suddenly falling quickly. It never actually stops, it's just moving very slowly that it seems stationary and it's acceleration causes it's speed to increase very quickly.

Noticed this effect when idly flipping a hammer as a construction worker in the latter 1970s. Always wondered what the cause was, as with some practice I could flip the hammer so that it didn’t flip. Was never sure if it flipped because I imparted a spin. When I went to college in the 1980s and got an engineering degree, I don’t recall that this theorem ever came up in physics, math, or engineering classes. Thanks for the explanation!

Think it’s about a wing nut in space,nil gravity.. That wing nut spin in space,comes off the thread spinning with its extra inertia.nothing to stop its spin or guide or draw it off its line of original traverse. Not restrained by the thread it has an inbuilt signal of its initial power supply. Having in air on Earth in first use, now it has a atmosphere of the space station. Resistance to the onboard air. Pressure. It gets a build up of resistance and reverses to balance of air resistance. But can’t overcome the power of the thread spinning to remove. Which was excess to requirement for its removal. It is weightless and obey its kinetic energy until it is used by some means of being attracted. It then turned to what ever mass was attracting it as it slowed. The equipment within the space station. Mass attracts weaker mass, if it has freedom to follow the attraction. Snooker ball hit too hard will bounce back and forward in the pocket jaws on Earth and not go into the pocket the rebound resistance has changed its path of drop . It has to lose it kinetic energy at its intended terminal, the pocket.

Quite simply one of the best, most fascinating videos I've ever seen. As a tennis player, it's always fascinated me how the racket appears stable when flipped in from a vertical starting position, yet twists in the air when flipped from a horizontal starting position. I've never found any explanation (though to be fair I've not looked), but happened across this from an answer on Quora. Watch the whole video - the implications discussed at the end are quite literally out of this world. Excellent, 10*

I don't pretend to be a genius, but it took me about 15 seconds after observing the videos to realize, that the rotating objects aren't balanced around the spinning axis. It's nearly impossible to do it IRL. So they have to flip, no way around it. If you are not in an ideal world, where you can apply force to one axis w/o disturbing the others along the way, of course.

It becomes more difficult to travel further in any one axis. Accelerating in one direction of rotation meets this criteria. The wingnut flips because the continuing rotation acts like an acceleration yet with an easy way to change axes from 0 g. The limit as a rational value goes to infinity becomes irrational in the same axis, every time. Nice video!

Spent all my teenage years playing with the tv remote, flipping it on the air and noticing the flip. I never asked why I couldn't flip it vertically without it turning. The trick for me was to throw it higher, so it would turn 2 times, so I would catch it how I threw it. Similar with phones when they came around. Then, older I became a bartender for a while and while flipping bottles and stuff (flair bartending) I sometimes noticed the same thing as I would try to get the label to face "forward" when the bottle landed on my hand. You just solved a mini life-long question that I had hahahaha.... kudos! (I was getting a bit judgemental when you mentioned proving Feynman wrong -- "this guy is cocky" hahaha... but then you brought Tao into play and it was all good 🤷🏻‍♂️😂 -- and anyways, is still a bit cheating as Feynman didn't have all the 3D bells and whistles we have today)

​@@mikemondano3624 Going by the abstract "disk with point masses on it" example, we'd need some parts of the equator to have a different mass than other parts for Earth to be in danger of flipping 180°, right? (e.g. the two quadrants centered at 0°W and 180°E are more massive than the other two centered at 90°E and 90°W) But that's a 180° flip. Hakkapeele asked about a 90° flip which would put the current poles on the new equator and the new poles somewhere on the old equator. edit: posted before finishing the video. The poles would need to have a mass between that of the light equatorial quadrants and the heavy ones to make Earth's rotation about its intermediate axis rather than the one with the greatest moment of inertia. Also, I've been using "mass" where I should be using "moment of inertia".

@@mikebeam822 Well, if you reduce the ice, water from that ice, would move to equator. Witch, would simply slow down the spinning. But if you would reduce the amount of water on equator, and transfer it to the ice and put it on the poles, than there is a possibility of flip. But even if you melt, or froze water. The mass of the planet is still the same. So its not really possible. You just change where the mass is. But if you could add more Ice/Water on the planet or transfer out of the planet, than you can change its rotation.

@@Asagofficial Let me ask you this, remembering that, as a planet we go through periodic ice ages - which weighs more ice or water? If ice weighs more, then, as the polar ice caps re-freeze, which we can easily assume is true, weight(water) will move from the equatorial regions freezing and condensing at the poles. Correct? Leading to the flip.

I have experienced this my whole life - mostly flipping a tennis racket also. I would try over and over to flip the racket without it making a twist... I could not do it that way. I figured it was involuntary twist from the momentum or release from the forced of my hand. The math is light years above my head, and to be honest the explanation at the end is as well. But just the explanation that you have the 3 axis and they are not balanced and they influence each other kind of makes sense to me. Still this blows my mind.

You'll never undertsand it from the maths. Not even Feynman could, which is why he couldn't explain it intuitively. If you watch it again James, you might get it. It's much simpler imagining the centrifugal effect. If it was possible to spin the object with the weight at the ends of the spin axis perfectly positioned, it wouldn't flip at all. So, in theory, it's not impossible to do but it probably is in practice. After all, perfection doesn't exist.

"I figured it was involuntary twist from the momentum or release from the forced of my hand." Someone please correct me for being wrong, but this seems to be exactly the explanation given. At 8:22 : ". . . what if the disk is bumped so that its not longer rotating perfectly along its y axis" That seems to me to indicate that this is similar to balancing a pencil on its sharp end. Any small deviation from perfect balance will cause the pencil the top of the pencil to accelerate to the ground, which causes a larger deviation, which causes the pencil to accelerate faster, and it repeats until it makes it to the ground. Accept in this case, the "pencil" is a disk, and it can't hit the ground. Instead it flips over, does a complete rotation. Going back to the pencil, imagine that it weren't to hit the ground, but completely rotate, then as it was perfectly inverted it would have its maximum amount of energy (like a ball rolling down a hill and up into another one). After that, then the pencil starts to lose energy as it rotates back to make a complete rotation (like the ball rolling up another hill after rolling down the first hill). As a result, it'll slow down back to where it was when initially flipped, and then build back up speed as that ever-so-tiny deviation did in the very beginning. So would be the same case with a disk. But please, someone explain to me where I'm wrong. I really don't think this is correct, because if it were, then I would think very small forces (such as air resistance) would create irregularities in this flip, and it appears that this is not the case.
