Compass Turning Not At Center of Mass Experiment

The magnets make the boat turn near the center of the magnets. The boat does not turn at its Center of Mass.

A reaction wheel can only make the boat turn at its Center of Mass.

This has to do with angular and linear momentum and the behavior of rotating objects and colliding rotating objects. Yet it is a very simple experiment that even a child can do.

It has very far reaching implications.

Stay tuned:)
