Boy scouts and other outdoor folks have made this curious device for many decades. They rubbed a stick over a larger notched stick to spin a twig nailed in the front. Ours uses dowels and a propeller. But what many do not know is while the notches are rubbed, the propeller can spin either direction without detection. Bystanders can ask yes questions (clockwise) or no questions (counterclockwise) for an answer and not know how the propeller knows. The secret technique comes with the plan.
