really interesting experiment

Hey guys,

Check out this experiment! It´s really awesome!

I think that an anti-gravity propulsion system could really well go along these lines.

Owhhh.....that's soo unfair, I wanted to see what happened to the ball! Lol
Still a great post though,thx.

[RMorgan]

Haha! Here´s what happened to the ball!

this is so well explained, this is what a good teacher is about, even if this guy may be a physicist but not a teacher, wow, interesting

[MiguelQ]

Oh great. Didn't know about this one. But makes sense

I think there is some really important information here, hidden in plain sight, Unfortuanately I am not clever enough to figure it out, but as was said I think if someone does it could well be the key to anti grav.

That´s what I think. Usually, great discoveries are so simple, like "Why haven´t I thought about it before?".

Just remember what a simple apple falling from a tree triggered in Isaac Newton´s mind.

this effect is only because when you release the spring, the upper part will, (pull the bottom part, since the elastic effect), and falling at the same time.. JUST THAT (IMO)v.
So to replicate this on anti-grav. We would need a force equal to the gravity that would have the opposite direction. but without changing course.

[Daft Ada]

Yes but the position of the base doesn't move one little bit, the weight is constant, but as the spring is collapsing and the coils are getting closer together, the upward force must be reducing, yet the base does not move until it is completely closed ???

And the object's weight are not a issue, as long you got enough spring, the sky is limit literally.

Yeah! All we need is to find a way to simulate a never ending upper part of the slinky and we´re done with our anti-gravity project! ;)

Hi all,

I'm new to Avalon as a member but have been reading the threads for about a year or so.
Anyway, unfortunately nothing mysterious is happening here. If you look at the center of mass (that would be the dead center of the stretched slinky) in slow mo, you will notice that it immediately starts to accelerate towards the ground. You can do this by keeping your mouse pointer always at the center of mass (keep it always in the middle of the slinky as it re compresses). You will see the center of mass accelerate towards the ground (which I assume is 9.8 m/s^2)

In the case where the ball was attached to the slinky, the center of mass moved a little away from the center. The old man collected about an inch of the slinky in his hand thus moving the total center again toward the near center of the whole contraption, somewhat above the center of the contraption. As such, you could see the ball immediately starting to move (albeit slowly: since it is both accelerating towards the center off mass: upwards and falling).

Cheers all.

Of course there´s nothing actually mysterious happening here. It´s just a simple physics phenomenon, however, it´s very interesting.

We have thousands of wonderful tech devices that uses the most simple physical phenomenons as a theoretic base.

All I think is that such phenomenon could be explored a little bit more, and maybe, just maybe, someone could create something amazing using these principles.

I bet that if an ET came here to show us how their ships actually work, we would laugh of it´s simplicity.

Really exemplifies what a VERY weak force 'gravity' is.

Steady as she goes now Nearing.. We cant make gravity to weak, gravity was the force who shaped all the stars and planets round in this universe.
We dont whant to shake the official lie to much now...:p
