And what exactly are they designed to do? !

@@markmower6507 Asking the important questions.

They always right themselves on a horizontal surface, the same way. Actually, he showed that “material” influences how quickly the equilibrium point will be reached. The lighter, plexiglass gomboc rights itself faster than the metal one. Remember, there are no weights inside the gomboc; homogeneity of the material is what makes the shape so interesting

@@almanac520 my point is this doesn’t demonstrate the phenomenon of a gomboc shape! They could have achieved this with many homogeneous geometrically biased shapes e.g. a pear cross section. I’m probably being a tad pernickety but this doesn’t demonstrate the point of a gomboc shape, as you know it’s a very specific concept. Look at any other KZfaq video

​@@jimijoejoe7578 The video is what it is man its a Gömböc on a flat surface what more can you expect? He even explains what is so special about it in the description.

I exist

K

me too

I think they're real Hungarian inventions. I'm Hungarian and Idrk if I'm proud or not haha

It’s a real thing, the gomboc is the only 3D object with less than 4 equilibriums

@Lohkay Good One! Hope your online Graduation went Splendid!

@@Timmy4Realz It was revolutionary because it has one unstable and one stable equilibrium point.

A gomboc doesn't do nothing. It's discovery is very important, and it has a number of useful applications. It is the first and only known shape discovered to have one stable equilibrium point, and one unstable equilibrium point. Because it is a self righting shape, it has some use in engineering fields. One example would be the construction of self-righting ships which are immune to capsizing.

@@xxfalconarasxx5659 do you own one?

@@Timmy4Realz just 3d printed man

They only have 1 equilibrium point and 1 non-equilibrium point

no.

There are 2

Ok, and? ! That means? !

Could that effect be utilized to build a spatial electromagnetic time machine? !

Mark Mower its epic law break shape

@@markmower6507 I would like to see you invent a effect that can and will be used to make a spatial electromagnetic time machine.

i am not lying i am not a bot O:

E

Is your Google broken or something?

No matter how you place it on a flat surface, it will come to the same resting point on the bottom. The requirement is that the object is made of one material.

Every object has atleast 4 equilibrium points. This one has 2

Highly Hated Account So you lied

@@Reactiontime6000 bout what

It actually isn't. NASA have been using this design instead of traditional ball bearings in many of their new projects.
