Mobius Tank (Patreon)

Mobius Tank - PREVIEW VERSION

I received a YouTube comment from one of my YouTube channel members on another tank video which suggested building a Mobius strip tank. They didn’t really know why that’s a good idea, and I don’t either, but we’re going to build one anyway and see what happens. A mobius strip or loop is a one-sided object known as a non-orientable surface, meaning that within it one cannot consistently distinguish clockwise from counterclockwise turns. You can read more about this on Wikipedia, but we can easily demonstrate the principle by getting a strip of paper, putting one twist in it, and joining the ends together. This means that we essentially have one continuous side, so if we follow it around, we travel over what would have been both sides of the strip when it was flat, and return to where we started.
