I almost hate to bring this up, but - would you be interested in tackling a model of the tennis racket theorem (Dzhanibekov Effect)? (The thing where an object has 3 moments of inertia and flips when rotating freely on the 2nd MOI) It might be a cool python animation and graph, but I'm not sure if that would be a fun problem for you to work through. And that's important! Edit - I was thinking about it, not working it out, but it seems like something that a simulation would gimbal-lock.
@@DotPhysics so much thanks. I apologize for not searching. I should have known you had already hit this. I think anyone learning moment of inertia should check these out. It’s both freaky and it’s a great demonstration.
Thank you! I was trying to get this result myself and every other example of finding a sphere’s I started with the assumption of the I of a small disk, which seemed unfair. This seems much more generalized.

I subscribe to that!

Glad it was useful
Really clear derivation - so much easier to understand if spherical coordinates are used.
Thank you for the extra fun stuff. rly enjoyed it!
It could be similar to moi of shell-fixed axis. I got the same result
No, no, I'm not leavin', because I like fun stuff! 🙃
