Rolling uphill #shorts

Double cone rolling uphill.
This demonstration shows a common physics toy simulated with energy conservation.
The cones are solid and initialized at rest.
The cone object rolls uphill provided some angle of the track and a sufficiently large cone slope.

The height of the center of mass continuously decreases as the rotational energy of the cone increases.

The system is treated as a non-separable Hamiltonian system using a single traversed angle coordinate and corresponding conjugate momentum. It was simulated using Hamilton's equations with high order explicit symplectic integrators and was rendered in real time.
