When Von Miller spins his ring, it looks like this.

Underrated post from Goose:

An interesting side-note: the physics department at A&M once did a study on this and were baffled to find that the force required to do this in the lab was only half of what they had determined in theory. Turns out the other half of the force required came from the Association of Former Students.

If you're interested, here's a video I saw a while back about some of the physics behind this.

What the video said. It's a result of the frictional force between the ring and surface being offset from the center of mass. This offset produces a moment (torque) which flips the ring.

When my offset produces a moment it flips your mom's ring.


I have no idea what that means. :-)
