This object defies physics! Found at yard sale, can't explain how it works! Can you tell me what it is?

Cool
Bet they are some alien crystals you found there. Actually most interesting. Never saw anything like it before. I'll have to research that one.

Superman is going to be pissed..
Get them crystals back to the fortress of solitude immediately and let the authorities know where Lex Luther's yard sale is!

this is known commonly as a
'rattleback'.
a quick search on google will tell you more.
basically it is unstable about one axis, so when spun in that direction it will become unstable, wobble and spin in the opposite direction.

they are great fun though

there is a similar effect
there is a similar effect that happens when you glue the spoon bit of a spoon onto a ruler at a slight angle.
it spins one way but not the other.
sorry though, dont know how its done, is it anything to do with light or whether you are north or south of equator, just guessing here
... cool though

magnets
I think they are magnets. When the positive nears the negative they attrack, when the positive nears the positive they repel. You have to get them rotating first. The earth's magnetism takes over.
