I kind of posted this question on another thread about perpetual motion but its a proper question now.

last year or possibly even the year before, there was a 3d shape on qi that had a monomomosomethinsomething or something similar to monomomo . . . structure that meant that it wouldn't stay still when you put it down because of its centre of gravity and balance that had to be accurate to smaller than a mm else it wouldn't work.

what is the shape and the monomomo word and any other info you have.

p.s. i think and eastern european man created it.

The "Gomboc" is a mono-monostatic object http://gadgets.boingb...boc-worlds-first.html

Looks like what was shown on the show...

Oh i thought it was a really long complicated word . . . cheers.
However, the gomboc does eventually fall into a stable point of equilibrium - it doesn't 'not (sic) stay still when you put it down' as you stated.
