  1. By placing your finger on one end, toss the rattleback clockwise. It turns until it comes to a stop

 

 

If you spin the rattleback in the “wrong direction”, it will quickly come to a stop, oscillate and then start spinning in the opposite direction ! If you tap lightly on one end, it will start spinning ! The explanation for the rattleback’s amazing properties : its specific shape is responsible for its movement which is complex to understand : it remains a mystery. The Rattleback reacts differently depending on the surfaces on which it is placed : try it

  1. Do the same in the other direction. You will see that it comes rapidly to a stop and starts spinning in the other direction.

 

 

and watch what happens. Sculpted in different types of wood, the Rattleback is a rarity. Each handcrafted piece is unique. Thanks to its design, the Rattleback can easily be kept, for example, in a desk corner. Much more than a decorative object, this engaging sculpture will, without doubt, elicit surprise from those around you.
