Why train wheels have conical geometry
@nev @kurtm @yogthos #trains are fun. The geometry by itself isn't quite enough as something needs to damp the oscillation around the centerline (You can see the oscillation at the end of the video). I've read the wikipedia article on the hunting oscillation and am still really not clear on what damps the oscillation.
