Euler's disk explained and the science behind it. How does it work? let's go over precession, rolling friction, kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, spoiling and much more! Science and physics is so cool! We have a slow motion camera and we are going to look at just how amazing this metal disk named after the great Leonhard Euler by Joseph Bendik.
