I know it's not anti-gravity but I didn't create it. Tell your complaints to the designer. Links are on the side.

Err... The spindle diameter of the cones starts at the fat bit and narrows down to the thin pointy bit. so overall, the cones actualy roll down hill even though the slope is slightly up hill. The spindle diameter gets smaller faster than the slope increases.

Does that come with pizza?

@benner45 simplest of all ... thing goes down but looks like going up

THIS IS THE DEVILS WORK... BURN IT lol

...how many cones to make my bed float inside my room?

Just off-center, internal weight, starting the "down turn" at the upgrade.

anti-gravity? anyone that gets fooled by this is a complete idiot

what if you were to put a drinking bird mechanism inside, not looking like a bird, but a curlicue pipe that circulates the liquid as it rolls, then the liquid uncirculates in that heat engine curlicue thing and rolls the widget back, where the cycle would start again?

ehe)) didnt see any antigravity here

i cant unsderstand why so many people are confused by this... ill try to explain it to people simply...

if you were to have 2 flat edges which were not on a slope like this... and put the cone on it... it would move in a similar way to what the cone is here. Because gravity is pulling the cone down and the only way it can go down is if it gets to a point where it is lower. for it to be lower... the edges have to be further apart so that largest plane (the center) of the cone is lower down
