You will be hard-pressed to find a better product to illustrate such phenomena as human nature, role of and need for stimulation, encouragement, lets you show temptation, recovery, etc. This is one useful bundle!

Told my 8 and 10 year old grandsons: when you figure out how they work you"ll be smarter than me. Both said they will learn how they work.

I handed these out to a younger generation and most even put down their smart gizmos to pay attention and learn. For a while I went from old man to a rock star.

Great scientific toy
George Streit from La Verne, California
I have been forever fascinated by these little things. I had one when I was a kid , made of wood. I've given away over 100 of them to friends or strangers, just to see their reaction to the strange toy that wants to spin in only one direction........

Rattlebacks defy the laws of physics. A person can't have too many. Great to pass out to grandchildren.

Celt or Rattleback
Douglas from California
What a truly fascinating object. The CELT (or rattleback) is a semi-ellipsoidal object which will spin on its axis in a preferred direction. Place it on a flat surface and spin it in a counterclockwise direction. As one might predict, it will spin, slowing down as the frictional force acting on the Celt from the supporting surface eventually brings it to a stop. Now, spin it in a clockwise direction and observe. It becomes unstable, yaws back and forth, stops then reverses its spin to counterclockwise. This spin-reversal motion seems to violate Newton's angular-momentum conservation law of physics which is, stated simply, objects in motion remain in motion until acted upon by an external force. Most Celts exhibit this phenomenon when spun in one direction, but not when spun in the other. Some exceptional Celts will reverse when spun in either direction. This makes the Celt a physical curiosity that has perplexed human imagination since prehistorical times. These are made of plastic, but stone and wood Celts have been found at ancient archeological digs sites (so I have read). D.J.S. Professional Civil Engineer

Saved Big buying the 10 pack
Mike Daily from Newtown, PA
Ok so I only wanted one of these, after seeing it on Youtube. Most websites have them listed somewhere between $2 - $5 each. Which isn't too bad, but with shippping it's between $7 - $10 for ONE plastic rattleback! Needless to say I kept searching. I found this 10 pack which brought the cost down to .89 cents each. Add the shipping and it came to $14 total for 10. You do the math. 1 for $10, or 10 for $14? I kept a few of different colors and gave the rest to my nieces and nephew.
19 customer reviewsA rattleback is one of the simplest and coolest physics toys! It will behave differently when you spin it clockwise or counterclockwise. The shape of this toy is very curious and it produces an unexpected effect when you spin it. This set features 10 rattlebacks in a variety of colors. Makes for some cool desk toys or stocking stuffers.
Features:
- Set of 10 multi-colored rattleback toys
- Cool toy with mysterious spin-reversal motion
- Behaves in seemingly opposite ways when spun clockwise versus counter-clockwise
- Excellent for physics demonstrations or as an interestting desk toy
