🔺 Double Cone Rolling Uphill - 3D Physics Simulation of Center of Mass, Rail Angle and Incline

3D physics simulation of the double cone that rolls uphill on diverging rails: centre-of-mass height, the tipping condition tan(beta) < tan(phi) tan(alpha), rolling dynamics and energy graphs with numeric checks.

⚙ Under the hood

3D physics simulation of the double cone that appears to roll uphill on V-shaped rails: its centre of mass falls, the tipping condition is tan(beta) < tan(phi) tan(alpha), with live energy graphs and numeric checks.
