This demonstration shows how a star collapsing will spin faster due to Conservation of Angular Momentum.
* Equipment seen in the video may vary from equipment used in ND Demonstrations. See information and images below for ND equipment and setup.
Setup:
Hang the Hoberman sphere from a tall ring stand setup so that it can spin freely and the string hanging out of the bottom is easily accessible.
Give the sphere a push to start it slowly spinning. Pull the string to collapse the sphere and see it spin faster. Release the string and the sphere will return to its' original size and speed of rotation.
Notes:
Be careful not to pinch anything in the collapsing sphere.
