Dynamic Geomag: Repulsion Pendulum

[h0wud0in2]

cant you find an expression (parametrically) when there is one repulsive pole? and with small angle approximation..

[skateboardkid]

they should make a full size version of the double an let people ride on it !!

[gavinsstuff]

how would you translate this motion into rotational to turn a turbine???

[5hak3itup]

i know what im doin when im skipping work and hiding out in the employee lounge

[thermalization]

You actually slowly demagnetize the magnets.

Physicist are yet to find the free lunch

@thermalization neodidum magnets dont lose their field unless they are heated

[thedumbeststudent]

you have given me a good idea!!!! thanks!!!!

[GuitarHeroAddict101]

this is sweet i doubt magnets of this size would work but if you got some stronger magnets and somehow got it to constantly spin would it be able to turn a turbine and basically create a self-powered energy source?

[sebastianguasque]

can you please tell me how much sphears and rods you used

[Filencia]

haha look like bumpy that funny!!!!!!!!

[yakkit]

The only loss of energy in this is from wind resistance, the join between the pendulum and the top of the stand, and electromagnetic induction, correct?
