NASA's Helical Engine and Other Reactionless Drives
มุมมอง 33K2 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

Chain Fountain/Mould Effect (Just Do the Damn Calculation!)
มุมมอง 2.9K3 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 5K4 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 62K4 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...

Differential Forms, Integration and Stokes' Theorem
มุมมอง 4.6K4 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.

    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?

  • @stoicwam
    @stoicwam 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The professor was right. If he was wrong then the vehicle should keep traveling when no wind is present after an initial push. There should be a chart where at wind speed of 1 mph the cart moves at 2.7 mph, at 2 mph the cart moves at 5.4mph and so on. But this chart will never be made because it brakes the 1st law of thermal dynamics. As for the treadmill test is ludacris!if anything it is simulating a head wind. this should be able to chart on a graph as well. What do you think will happen when the treadmill goes at a walking speed? The answer is nothing will happen. To really test it they should take the most optimal small scale modle that they have created, make a wind tunnel the length of a football field where every bit of air in the tunnel flows exactly the same speed (as close as possible), have multiple readings take place throughout the tunnel to get average wind speed and then set the unit down and see if it can beat the average wind speed th get to then end. But it can't and won't. It would be cheaper to build this than that large unit but they can fudge the numbers with the large unit how fast should it go at 1mph, 2mph, 3mph. There should be a graph charting this. Wind tunnel and unit on a track is the best way to test. Keep it small like the treadmill units. Have steady wind speed. But this won't happen because it would ruin the theory. If it runs faster than the wind @ a wind speed then it should be able to run faster than the wind at 0 mph. Let me explain: If it's the wheels powering the propeller which pushes the vehicle faster than the wind then after starting the unit with a push the wheels should be able to power the propeller and push it at the same rate as when it has wind. A vehicle moving at 11 mph with a 10 mph tailwind is moving upwind at 1mph. The wind in perspective to the vehicle is now a head wind. A vehicle traveling 1 mph in no wind has a 1mph head wind. It's the same thing. Get the vehicle started with a push and it should beable to power itself. I don't think I'm missing anything but if I am please explain just rewatched the blackbird professor bet video. @12:05 the claim is made "the propeller thrust force is greater than the drag on the wheels". If this statement is true we can expect the unit to produce greater thrust force in a no wind test. Just get the vehicle started with a push and then the propeller will overpower the drag that wheels produce Im not into all the math equations but just coming from a practical standpoint imo the black bird is a hoax

    • @redreoicy6698

      The energy is coming from the ground and wind speed differential. 10mph vehicle, 10mph wind, 0mph ground is equivalent to 0mph wind, 0mph vehicle, -10 mph ground. In fact this exact scenario is shown with the treadmill demonstrations. The vehicle doesn't require wind, just a difference in airspeed and groundspeed.

    • @redreoicy6698
