I wasn't asking for you to do a job search for me, I just wanted to know what kind of jobs involve the 2 things. It doesn't matter if you mention a job that you know is only available in 1 area, I have the option to relocate...

Forgive me for being equally condescending but I thought somebody who frequents this forum would be able to understand my question. You do not need to know where I live to answer it. To simplify it further: Are there jobs that involve physics but require a Computer Science qualification? I'm not...

Hi, not comfortable telling where I live/am going to Uni. All you should know is that the only 2 relevant courses they offer are for Computer Science and Math with Theoretical Physics. My question is really can I be involved with Physics even if I graduate with a BSc or MSci in CS?

I love both Computer Science and Physics, I find Physics a lot more fun to learn about but I also really enjoy programming and creating things that I can see in action. I am a pretty adept programmer in F#, while the language has a very high salary there are very few jobs. I have been accepted...

This is not perpetual obviously I know that, I don't think the thread will be closed. I'm not asking how to make a perpetual machine. Magnets demagnetise over time I know that. Take a look at this.

I might as well post this question in this thread: Can you have the north and south pole aligned diagonally on a cube. So instead of 1 face being north and 1 south, you'd have 1 corner north and 1 south?

I'm not talking about that, more like this:

Exactly, right now I want to stick with magnets to create the torque though. I've already ordered some also.

The projectile would not be magnetic. The magnets are simply used to make the cylinders spin.

Well, like I said imagine 2 cylinders on either side of a smooth path that are being rotated using magnets, left one going counter clockwise and the right clockwise. If you put a projectile the same width as path wouldn't the 2 cylinders shoot it out. I already know the answer my real question...

What do you mean? You can understand the concept from that image alone surely

What I mean is if I have 2 cylinder objects made out of a light wood for example with 6 or so magnets on either face spread evenly and another magnet behind it causing it to spin could it generate a good amount of torque to shoot a small projectile between the two cylinders. To give you a better...

I believe so yes, that would be like a gauss cannon/coilgun I believe.

I'm talking about something like this:
