A Holonomic Rattleback
arXiv:2203.08400
Abstract
The rattleback or celt top is a rigid body with the peculiar behaviour of having a spontaneous spin reversion during its motion and this effect is usually attributed purely to its nonholonomic nature. Actually, the rattleback is the paradigmatic example in nonholonomic mechanics. We give an example of a spinning rigid body having spontaneous spin reversion during its motion in the context of holonomic mechanics.
