Coupling of angular motion to a spin degree of freedom gives rise to various transport phenomena in quantum systems that are beyond the standard paradigms of classical physics. Here, we discuss features of spin-orbit dynamics that can be visualized using a classical model with two coupled angular degrees of freedom. Specifically, we demonstrate classical 'spin' filtering through our model and show that the interplay between angular degrees of freedom and dissipation can lead to asymmetric 'spin' transport.
