    Air equivalent of rail gun possible?

    Hmmm, not sure if I read that right, but it looks like that ionocraft uses slightly different principles. It looks like the movement comes from the ions moving from the wire to collecter. The picture shows the wires as being above the collector. So they would move in a downward motion...

    Air equivalent of rail gun possible?

    If a rail gun works by having an object that moves along a path, where either side has opposite charge, could that same principle be applied in air? I am not talking about an ion thruster, that already exists. I am saying, if wasting energy was not an issue, could it be possible to charge the...

    Magnets strength/repel, total movement?

    That's what has me confused. I think the main issue would be getting movement while being attached. The equivalent scenario that I am looking for would be this. If something has a mass of x, and can theoretically throw part of it's body in a given direction, at a set force, to achieve...

    Magnets strength/repel, total movement?

    Like that, but with a chain between the people. two magnets connected together. Held at an initial position where they will repel each other. But limited in that they can only move in one direction. So (wall) (magnet +++) string (+++ magnet)

    Magnets strength/repel, total movement?

    Thanks, that is what I thought.So... if two magnets are held in a position of repulsion by some device, and the device restricts movement in one direction but not in the other, would it move?

    Magnets strength/repel, total movement?

    Hey guys. Not a homework question. If two magnets have the same friction, same mass, etc. But have different strengths. and they are arranged so that they will repel each other, how will they move in relation to their starting points? Will they both move 1/2 the distance of the...

    BEd degree - magnetic generator - help with design

    Could have sworn I uploaded a pic. I am changing my design. I've got a one phase 20 pole generator I'm working on. The windings will be perpendicular to the magnets in a circle. So the magnets will run directly over top of the windings. Alternating N/S around the circumference. Similar...

    BEd degree - magnetic generator - help with design

    One thing I am thinking of is using my 4 magets set in a circle. With armature on the inside and on the outside of the circle. it will be a pain to build, but I think it would have a more steady flow and have less interference. I could be wrong though. If I set them all together such that the 4...

    BEd degree - magnetic generator - help with design

    Hey guys - I am doing my BEd degree. I'm going to get this out there right off the start because it will save a lot of issues. Please don't take this the wrong way, it's simply the truth as I know it. I am doing my Bachelor of Education, to be a teacher. As a teacher, based on my 'teacher...

    Need Help Finding the Perfect Shape? Discover the Ideal Shape for Your Needs!"

    I have noticed that Cayley Graphs allow for Arrows, but only allow one going out and one going in. Does anyone here know of a theory that allows for set number of out arrows and set number of in arrows?

    Need Help Finding the Perfect Shape? Discover the Ideal Shape for Your Needs!"

    Doh!... Wasn't thinking. The issue comes up that one A is actually existing as two. So over all the vertex would still have A=B. which doesn't work. Back to the drawing board. Anyone know of geometry software that could try to calculate that?

    Need Help Finding the Perfect Shape? Discover the Ideal Shape for Your Needs!"

    ya, that's the way it's looking. Keep in mind this can be in any dimension. 2, 3, 4,5. just as long as I get more vertexes with more A than B. A-----A could be possible, assuming the end result was still the same. Same with B-----B. each vertex should look like Let n < m Axn Bxm...

    Need Help Finding the Perfect Shape? Discover the Ideal Shape for Your Needs!"

    Hey guys. I am trying to find a shape that suits my needs. The amount of vertexes can be any, but the fewer the better. The edges are special in that each end has an A or a B. like this A------B I need the vertexes to have more A than B inputs from edges. I need all vertexes to...

    Non-uniformity of the universe

    ya, my bad. I meant sphere when I said circle.

    Non-uniformity of the universe

    I used the term infinite to illustrate what happens with odds when played out over time. Your use of the term infinite takes out the obvious, and puts it in another context, for the sake of argument. If that is your goal, then congrats, you win! Clearly I do not need to roll two die an...
