Perpetual Motion and Free Energy!
The overbalanced wheel has been proposed as a free energy/perpetual motion device. This video shows my own overbalanced wheel design
in action. In a follow-up video, I will explore the physics of overbalanced wheels and show why videos such as this one must be fake.

NASA's Helical Engine and Other Reactionless Drives
มุมมอง 34K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Reactionless drives are spacecraft engines that produce thrust without any exhaust. Examples include the Dean drive, GIT thrusters, and EM drives. The latest proposal is the Helical Engine, described in a NASA technical report by David Burns. In this video I discuss the fundamental reason why reactionless drives don't work: They violate Noether's theorem which links spatial translation invarian...
Singular Lagrangians, Constrained Hamiltonian Systems and Gauge Invariance
มุมมอง 2K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Recording of a talk presented at the April 2022 meeting of the APS (American Physical Society). The topic is the Dirac-Bergmann algorithm, which is a prescription for converting a singular Lagrangian system into Hamiltonian form.
Chain Fountain/Mould Effect (Just Do the Damn Calculation!)
มุมมอง 3K3 ปีที่แล้ว
The chain fountain (or Mould effect) is fascinating and perplexing: a bead chain forms a fountain as it rises above the sides of a container before falling to the floor. The chain fountain was analyzed by Biggins and Warner in 2013-2014, but the explanation based on their work is still questioned. In this video I carry out a detailed calculation, equivalent to the one given by Biggins and Warne...
Physics of the Blackbird Wind Powered Vehicle
มุมมอง 6K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Blackbird is a wind powered vehicle consisting of a wind turbine linked to its wheels. Blackbird can travel directly downwind and upwind at speeds that exceed the speed of the wind. This counterintuitive result has been a source of controversy. In this video I use Newtonian physics to examine a simple model of a wind powered vehicle, similar to Blackbird. I compute the maximum downwind and upwi...
Gyroscopic Motion: Equations of Motion for the Two-Top
มุมมอง 6K4 ปีที่แล้ว
In the video ``The Mystery of Gyroscopic Motion: How Does It Do That?", I analyzed the physics of a simple spinning top constructed from two masses, called a ``two-top". I described in qualitative terms, and in detail, the forces that keep the two-top spinning and precessing. In this video I derive the equations of motion for the two-top using Lagrange multiplier methods. Simulations of the two...
The Mystery of Gyroscopic Motion: How Does It Do That?
มุมมอง 65K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Gyroscopic motion is both fascinating and mysterious. A spinning top seems to defy gravity as it executes gyroscopic motion. In this video I explore gyroscopic motion in detail by examining the physics of a ``two-top". A two-top is a simple top constructed from two masses held together by massless struts. The failure of our intuition for gyroscopic motion is traced to a subtle misinterpretation...
The Dzhanibekov Effect: Equations and Simulations
มุมมอง 4.6K4 ปีที่แล้ว
The surprising behavior of a rotating rigid body, known as the Dzhanibekov effect, is explained intuitively in the video "Rigid Body Motion and the Dzhanibekov Effect". Here I derive the equations of motion for the four-mass rigid body used in the simulations. The analysis uses the Lagrange multiplier method, which yields explicit formulas for the internal forces that hold the rigid body togeth...
Does the Falling Pencil Hit the Table? Equations and Answers
มุมมอง 2.5K4 ปีที่แล้ว
The following problem was posed in a video by Matt Parker, posted on his TH-cam channel "Stand-up Maths": A pencil, initially sitting upright at the edge of a table, is knocked off the table with a kick to its lower end. Will the pencil hit the table as it falls? In this video I work out the solution in detail, and show that there are three possibilities: (1) For a large kick, the pencil misses...
Rigid Body Motion and the Dzhanibekov Effect
มุมมอง 30K4 ปีที่แล้ว
I give an intuitive explanation of the Dzhanibekov effect on a rotating rigid body, and discuss its relationship with the intermediate axis theorem. Simulations were created using glowscript (glowscript.org), developed by David Scherer and Bruce Sherwood. The simulations are based on the Lagrangian equations of motion for a simple rigid body. I will present the mathematical details in an accomp...
Differential Forms, Integration and Stokes' Theorem
มุมมอง 4.7K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Beginning with the primitive theory of integration of differential forms, I show how integration is defined on a manifold with metric using the natural volume element. I then use Stokes' theorem to derive the curved spacetime version of the divergence theorem. Examples include conservation laws in general relativity, and the result known as Stokes' theorem in electrodynamics.

    The principles of how they all work is simple and hardly a violation of logic. There is force applied in one direction and the reactionary force is redirected into mechanical pressure on a solid. It's no more a violation of physics than putting additional weight on a table without the table breaking.

    So there's two centripetal forces acting, one pulling the top together so it won't separate, the other is radially pulling the top as one mass towards the sphere. And due to gravity being one-directional, these two interact differently. At half of the phase they move against gravity, and at another they move with gravity. This results in it favoring a certain direction on the sphere for the system to precess on. If this is true, then I believe dictating the direction of the top's movement around the sphere, in this case right-hand-ruling normal force of the system, is putting the cart fore of the donkey. I believe that it does favor a direction, because I tried spinning a pendulum out of a rope and duct tape with my right arm clockwise relative to my eyes, and it is easier to slowly spin my whole body on the y axis to the left than it is to the right. If I tried doing it to the right, usually the pendulum doesn't want to follow my arm, and gets close to the front of torso instead.

    Imagining the struts as springs also helps. When a red ball of a two-top is falling downwards, it is causing a compression in the radial strut/spring, hence a pushing force from that spring which acts outward. When a red ball is moving upwards(due to it's disk type rotational motion), it is causing the spring/strut to stretch and hence a pulling force from the spring which acts inward. I wonder what happens to Positronium rotating like a disk and then an electric field is switched on parallel to the axis of rotation.

    I think the first part is wrong: xcm is not (i/m)t but it is proportional to t^2. You started from m*d/dx(xcm)=i and then you integrate respect to time forgetting that i is not constanct respect time since i=Ft so when you integrate you have: xcm=F/m*(t^2/2)

    If there’s some kind of drag, in the component of x axis, there’s a way… I know u can’t see that, maybe you can make extreme examples. Maybe it will work, but get insane hot due to dragging. Dragging on one direction, reducing drag on the other. Maybe work for 1 second and wait 1 year for the dragging to disperse? And where the energy comes from? Better use solar wind as they already exists or some super heavy elements with large enough mass that neutrinos can interact with…. Get creative, be creative! ❤there no such thing as “empty space”

    Well explained. If you take the cyan to be the equator and the red to be the north and south poles, , based on mass one axis heavier than the other, applying this rule to the earth, can you predict the period of time where the flip would occur. Does this e plain the Younger Dryas and the cataclysm described in the book ADAM & EVE? It would also seem to suggest that there could have been previous civilizations on the earth which have been completely wiped away. Exceptions being the pyramids and the Richat structure where seems remarkably precise measurements for the foundation of the city of Atlantis. Would we feel the earth wobble as the poles moved while the impending flip approached?
