Matt and Hugh play with an Euler Disk which spins forever. Then they do some working out to check Matt’s previous calculations.

Matt’s previous video: The Maths of Spinning Coins and Euler's Disk

Dr Hugh Hunt is a Senior Lecturer in Engineering at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Trinity College.

This is a new video format idea, so all feedback appreciated.
