    Precession
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the precession force acting on an arm in the context of an anti-gravity wheel, as illustrated in a Veritassium video. The user seeks to determine how this force pushes the arm vertically, assuming specific angles between the shaft and arm, and between the shaft and wheel. Key parameters include the wheel's mass, radius, and speed, along with the shaft's length, although its mass is considered negligible for simplicity. The conversation encourages reviewing the "Anti-Gravity Wheel Explained" for further insights. Understanding these forces is crucial for analyzing the mechanics of the anti-gravity wheel concept.

This is the Anti gravity wheel video from Veritassium. I have a similar problem to calculate the forces on arm.

How can I calculate the precession force pushing the arm vertically ?

Lets assume that the angles between shaft and arm is 90° the angles between shaft and wheel is 90°

The wheel properties are
Mass - Mwheel ,
Radius - Rwheel,
Speed(rpm) - Vwheel,

The length of shaft is Lshaft, and mass is Mshaft though to keep it simple we can ignore the mass of shaft.

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
