[@certiPHIer]

If the sides of your ramp were parallel instead of converging to the downhill point, both shapes would roll downhill. The object shaped like two cones put together rolls in the direction that has its center of mass descending on the converging ramp, so its center of gravity is "rolling downhill".

[@Rockancrime]

There’s a great version of this experiment that has a shape that’s inverted to this - the narrowest point in the middle. If you angle the ramp so that the thin end is higher, it will similarly “fall up”. Your comment reminded me of that version from the science center I went to as a kid. And now work at. I should dig around in the basement and go find it… 🙃

It took me a while to notice that the rails move apart, which is what allows the conical mass to fall right, as it rolls on narrower and narrower parts of the cone (which sit lower on the wider parts of the rail). Whereas the cylinder has constant circumference and can only roll down to the left.

[@hananezumi]

Thank you for your explanation because I was still so confused about why it was going up after watching over the video. I don't know why he talked about everything besides what should be the most relevant part...

[@fikriirshade1132]

thanks the video didnt really explain why this particular set of object behave that way

[@Mr.Jarfish]

isnt is more like the thing that rolls 'upward' has weight at the top when he places it so the momentum of the weight falling down is seemingly making it roll upward? just like with the stirofoam circle. still quite genius design the wooden thing must have in the balance of weight

[@KieranTully]

No, I think the cone has uniform density, unlike the styrofoam disc which is weighed down on one edge. The cone rolls right not because it's heavier on one side, but because the rails move apart, allowing the cone's centre of gravity to fall down as the diverging rails touch the narrower and thus "higher" extremities of the cone. This view might make it more obvious: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWXbhZWvm7aaptU The slope of the cone against the rails is more than the slope of the rails against the ground. At some point the cone stops narrowing (i.e. stops lowering the CoG against the diverging rails), and that's why there's a notch in the rails, for the cylindrical ends of the cone to fall into.

[@matiasbliznac2141]

He didn't explain it fully I think so for anyone interested here's a more complete explanation: basically, the reason the cone falls upward is that it actually falls downward. The reason for that is that it actually starts at a higher position because of the shape of the slope. It has a hole in the middle which becomes narrower at the base of the slope, and when he places the cone at the base, because of the shape of the cone the center of mass ends up higher, and as it rolls, it ends up falling into the hole of the slope and the center of mass moves down. Basically, this trick wouldn't work were he to place the cone onto two parallel sticks which he leaned against something because the cone wouldn't be falling into a hole at the same time as it rolls upwards.

[@KAYBE_CO]

For those who don’t understand: The wedge shape is supplementary to the pin rolling upward. Notice that the wedge gets wider as the pin rolls upward. This causes the pin’s center of gravity to follow the side it chooses thanks to its shape. As the v gets wider. The grooves accommodate the shape of the pin. Think of a marble rolling in a slit that is shaped like a V. When the slit gets too narrow, the marble will stop. When the slit gets too wide, the marble will fall out. Which one is related to gravity? Yes, the fall. That is why the pin rolls upward. Excuse my lack of vocab

[@Bankable2790]

Same with the styrofoam. It has a thicker side uphill whose mass imparts a great force via gravity toward the “uphill” side than the light side toward to the downhill side.

Yes, if those two rails had been parallel, then it would have rolled down like normal, It's the spreading angle that makes the big center part of the "ball" thingy get lower and do so faster than the steepness of the incline. He really didn't explain his current objects well.

I just googled the Crooked House pub (in Himley near Dudley) and there's a wiki page about it. It looks even more slanted than the leaning tower of Pisa but isn't as famous unfortunately. Due to careful placement of objects like tables and the angled windows and brickwork (due to subsidence) a number of optical illusions occur. e.g. a marble will *appear* to roll uphill. It's the not the same thing as this video, which shows a "trick" object (with a weight in it) that actually does roll uphill.

gravity is actually the reason this object moves upwards, the weight of the center pulls it down, but due to the shape of the hill, the weight moves outwards as the platform grows more open, and that's why that shape moves up the slope.

Actually this isn’t even about the center of gravity, it’s the whole thing that actually goes downward. Basically this is just a trick that works by selecting the contact point in such a way that it goes downward in the opposite direction of the slope. Just replace the wedge by a groove with the same angle, and you’ll see that is actually goes down in the other direction.

Has this principal been used to transport things before? It’s really fun. I know it’s just basic old school ingenuity but I live in a coastal town in Ireland that quarried lime stone from the cliffs. They had a train circuit that used a slight incline to move full loads of rock down to ground level to be unloaded and simultaneously pull the the empty boxes back up to be refilled. It’s not rocket science, but I loved the idea that it didn’t need power to shift all that weight.

[@boyscout-p3u]

maybe there is a threshold of weight for the object

[@fallenmango8420]

You can’t move things upwards with this, the axel rises, but the center of mass lowers. In order to move things out of a quarry, you’d need a vehicle almost the size of the hole you were trying to get out of, so basically a quarry sized vehicle, you’d also need a way to move the payload from the bottom of the vehicle, to the top, like an elevator or a train, so you’d just be building a gigantic contraption that doesn’t really do anything while still having to use the same setup as before within the vehicle to accomplish the same task. It’s a cool illusion, but doesn’t have many practical applications.

[@kli.4162]

@@fallenmango8420 the axle doesn‘t even rise. The center of gravity is on the axle and it moves downward. So in order for this to transport things to the top of a hill it would have to start at an even higher point which defeats the purpose.

The weight is in the center. So the tendency for the conical core to "fall" into the wider part of the track is greater than the tendency to roll down on such a slight angle. Give it straight tracks or a steeper angle and it'll roll down like normal.

@@AnotherDaveInTheLife I wouldn't say it's a bad video, he explained exactly why this phenomenon happens. Marvin seems to be confused, the result of the tendencies he is talking about is the path in space that the center of gravity of the cone is taking. That cannot go up on its own, only down. In the examples shown when the cone moves there is a horizontal translation accompanied with a vertical translation of the center of gravity, always downwards. If you look at it from the side this can be simplified by looking at the center axis of the cone which will always move down if it starts rolling.
