Reverse-Rotation Displays produce unexpected motion. They are especially
useful for teaching high school and college students principles of the
physical sciences. In addition, these Displays can be used for commercial
and noncommercial purposes. Another use involves the design of special
purpose flywheels that are capable of storing energy and/or converting
rotational speed. The Displays move in the forward direction because of a
motor. They move in the reverse direction because of forces that come
from magnets embedded in a Display, and the Earth's magnetic field.
