        (clamp rotator to table)



  • With one hand under the ball, slip the hook onto the loop.  Slowly lower the ball until it is supported by the cord.
  • Make sure the ball is still.  Then, after you let go, it will "mysteriously" begin to rotate in the same direction as before.
  • Demo 1Q30.39 - Transfer of Angular Momentum in a Fluid, shows what is happening inside the ball.
