- In this video I show you some interestingly weird shapes that seem like they shouldn't roll, but somehow they do. I talk about this science and physics of rolling and what causes something to roll vs slide. I talk about slip vs non-slip conditions of rolling.
Where to buy: You can search "Flipo Flip" on Google to purchase this. There are some on Ebay, Alibaba and Amazon and a company on Kickstarter is selling them as well!

A lot of people are asking where to by them. You can search "Flipo Flip" on Google and there are some cheap ones on Ebay, AliExpress, Alibaba and a company on Kickstarter is selling them as well! Have fun flipping!
yes !

Got mine from flipoflip.shop I think that’s the main site
@The Action Lab, are the realms of gravitational pull, magnets, electromagnetism, and friction all related?
I would have liked this, but it had 69 likes... sorry man, can't mess that up.
3:31 - Bowling lanes are *oiled* most of the way leading up to the pins, but the last few meters at the end *aren't.* Skilled bowlers impart a spin on the ball so that it slides relatively straight down the lane, but then *changes direction* due to friction when it reaches the non-oiled portion just before the pins.

square: rolls
ball: am i a joke to you?
Sweet vid man. *Put those wheels on a toy car!*
you can’t. there’s no center to put an axle
Charle S I think there is in the side
pippo & co no, the center of it would move up and down constantly so the one way you can make it as a wheel is if you make some sort of axle that can also move up and down, which is super inefficient and complicated, and the reason circles are used for wheels is because there is a center that stays in a consistent y axis so you just need to have a bearing attached for it to be able to rotate. So no, there is no viable way to make them wheelse efficiently since there is no solid center.
I know it would be inefficient. But interesting to see.
If it’s a real car, it will be a total nightmare to ride!

Great video - thanks for posting!

Tries Rick rolling once, it's fun. 😸
Me when I'm supposed to be studying for my exam : interesting

2:21 - 2: 35 - you will see bowling balls on oily lanes skid till they dig and curve in for a strike! (3:25 - Nice!)
Great vid, Professor!!!
Nice Rotational Mechanics class.
Cheers👍
Me to my friend: Just roll with it
My friend:
It took me 2-3 revisions to understand "Why the ball rolls"...
Anyways the video is just awesome...
Lol If there is one thing, I love about this channel. it's how he explains everything. lol I litterally just saw an ad on these things. And after a youtube search. Action lab, has a video on it. lol
Takes me back to when I used to roll squares with the boys.
Woah! This is so interesting!
I'm a little disappointed that you didn't go into how the friction at the leading corner controls rolling vs sliding - a non-round object must raise its centre of mass to roll, and the friction at the leading corner must be high enough to /lift/ it out of a sliding configuration for it to roll.
Furthermore, flat objects don't preserve energy when rolling because a flat face meeting the flat surface imparts little to no torque (since kinetic energy vector intersects the center of mass), whereas a curved surface does impart torque which converts the linear kinetic energy into angular momentum.
Your profiled squares roll because their profile is designed to provide a smooth conversion between linear kinetic momentum and angular momentum, whereas an object with flat faces will lose much of its momentum to sound and other losses with little ability to retain any of it.
This is too big brain for me so like. Calm down you intellectual boio
Well said, it was a nice channel but now looks really boring and without sense
Someone is speaking the language of a gods
NERD!!!
Noice
No matter the topic, you never disappoint on delivering quality, informative content. Thank you sir.
U get so interesting topic that i have never even herd before and so i get more topic to flex on my friends
I just bought it at flipoflip.shop. Thanks Man
I came to the comments for the link lol, thanks
Damn bro. I spent the last 45 minutes trying to find a place to buy
thanks a lot

Reminds me of those magnetic clatter toy. Also I need that for the pure joy.

Explaining on a BAKING TRAY was awesome...
LOVE the way you explain.. Hat's off to you.. Keep making amazing vedios for as.. Thank you
Finally, I’ve found some use for the physics I’ve learnt
Where did you purchase these?
*a m a z o n* i think
wait till this dude finds out about spheres the mans gonna lose his mind
I have to watch this with sound... Very interesting and basic physics. 👍👍👍👌👌👌😀😀😃
Very cool! Your videos are great!
How did you hurt yourself while sleeping
Well Thats hard to explain
I rolled off my bed
Does anybody remember the mokuru the little fidget stick it also rolls like that
Thats pretty interesting, and i think you could as well have a similar video explaining why a sphere, in some cases, rotates having a space variatiob of pi*r instead of 2*pi*r
The music while it was rolling was on point 👌
"It doesn't look like these should be rolling" ?
It looks like it was specifically designed to roll
*W-What about a triangle?!*

That’s so fun! It would be fun if I could make one for myself.
I would also like to point out that in vertical rolling squares, vector (from center mass) of gravitational force easily goes outside the base thereby contributing to fall. I mean that if an object is on flat surface, it has foundation which is in contact with this surface. If we draw a vector that, when extended, goes outside of this foundation, then the object is unstable. When rolling square is horizontal, it still has some rotational kinetic energy (mass-moment of inertia*angular velocity squared/2) allows it to overcome the gravity that tends to stabilize it.
He said “roll a square” hehe 🌿🚬☺️
Hello everyone *This is Your Daily Dose Of Internet*
great channel, nice shirt. keep up the great work
It must be amazing to be able to study and full understand these things without it making your head hurt!

@@KodiboiOfTheCentury81 mhm
That sound of it rolling slowed down at 0:39 is giving me goosebumps
Someone just asked me what is that when I'm tired
Me: it's just a ball in disguise
I like this TH-cam channel because it is very educational
4:20 - I don't think that's how a Lego would be able to roll, I see it as the rotational speed overcomes the gravity so the sides don't touch the surface but the corners do so it rolls smoother than usual.... You can see that whenever it doesn't bounce up after a few rotations then picks up speed.
Thanks, now I know how to roll my squares!
Teaching abt rolling motion superb
Thank you for this information that I didnt need but this is still vool
The action lab is on a roll!
This is gonna end up on everyone's recommendations now
Square After Rolling:I just wanna Rolly Rolly Rolly.....
And that is folks why I love science 😍
I bought this at 2am one night after seeing on instagram, it took a month to arrive from china. i rolled it about 20 times and it's sat in a drawer since then.
Underrated channel
It's awesome man 🤩
Here's something that hasn't been covered extensively on TH-cam which would be right up your alley: Optical bonding / optical contact. There are clips online but you would have a lot more fun with the phenomenon and explain it a lot better than what existing videos would.
Hey - should explain why the spinning ball reverses rotation when dropped straight down???
This is so easy to understand, it’s using centrifugal force to move around, the shape of the surface let’s it allow it to roll
Centrifugal force isn't the reason these objects roll. It has to do with angular velocity and friction.
Wow, he reinvented the wheel.
well its simple theory....for a body to roll not slide...
1. the force applied should be less than friction
2. when we apply force less than friction the normal force tries to produce torque to balance it...now to roll you have to apply such torque that normal would not be able to balance it...
Cube: I can roll!
Ball: That's cute.
If the square is flat it's much harder to roll. Those special rolling ones aren't flat. They have extended middles making them roll
The frictional force during rolling is also going to be proportional to the weight of the object. Think having them being made of aluminum/metal helps with the friction over a similarly smooth surface plastic and hollow item

There's a Japanese toy called Mokuru that has a shape of a cylinder and rolls on its edges, just like objects in this video. It wooden and has rubber edges to avoid slipping. It's now manufactured by Chinese and can be bought for a dollar. Google for "Japanese rolling toy", "Japanese rolling stick". Note: "rolling pin" is a tool for cooking, don't google that.
1:37: it rolls down the ramp and starts rolling.
-The action lab @2021
Where can you buy the ones you bought and demonstrate ?
I interpret it in a different perception. The centre of gravity of that object keeps changing and so that point is pulled to the ground and thus it rolls. So those squares had a little bump on their centre, which made the shift of centre of gravity when pushed. So it keeps changing the centre of gravity for each rotation.
