Magnetic Marbles' Mantras: Dipole Clusters, Catastrophe Machines, and Irrational Gears
Description
Talk to be presented in the "Physics Colloquium Mainz", May 28, 2024 at 16 c.t., Lecture room KPH, Johann-Joachim.Becher-Weg 45, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz.
Abstract (English)
Spherical magnets are an invaluable but affordable physics toy! While vividly demonstrating chemical, physical and mathematical problems, they can also greatly inspire creativity: Questions concerning the favoured state of dipole cluster configurations lead – via an encounter with tipping points – to the invention of magnetic gears based on degenerate continua. Open source animations and patent-free hardware to play with shall garnish this triptychon.
