exchemist Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 4 minutes ago, John2020 said: No, you misunderstood me. I presented a reasoning. When the cause of vibration comes from internal forces then the system (ring) should be able to move or vibrate due to Newton's 3rd law. It is Newton's 3rd law that does not allow motion by means of internal forces, not me. Regarding the net work of internal forces, it is clear the net work of internal forces (since it is zero) cannot trigger system's motion. Everybody knows this. It is derived by Newton's 3rd law: ΣW = WA + WR = 0 (work of action pus the work of reaction equals zero). When you jump in the air, you use your muscles. There are connected only to your bones, i.e. they act purely internally. How do you account for your ability to jump in the air? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like saying energy is conserved, so nothing can move. We speak again for an isolated system. An action exerted upon a part will create a reaction upon the rest of the system. Consequently, due to Newton's 3rd law the isolated system cannot acquire a momentum by means of internal forces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider the ring as an isolated system being influenced only by the internal magnetostrictive strain that means an isolated system powered by internal forces, according to Newton's 3rd law will never acquire a momentum. It is the same when one tries to lift himself by its hair or pushing a car while being inside (see LEGO car with the ring). But it's not an isolated system, that's the point.

So you keep saying, while repeatedly ignoring my request to reveal where you “learned” this (part of the issue: is the ring an isolated system?) Also ignoring examples you can see, e.g. a person jumping into the air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is out of question because I did the experiment (see first posts). As a direct proof of not being the case you have to watch besides the LEGO car experiment, the rotating ring which its rotation is absolutely controllable (increasing frequency -> clockwise rotation, decreasing frequency -> counterclockwise rotation). Consequently, it has nothing to do with your claims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that, when a system is not isolated, internal forces can cause it to move? I just make a parallelism regarding the cause of motion. According to Newton's laws of motion, a body or a system may move by means of external forces. According to my understanding regarding the experiments and what we have agreed so far my personal conclusion is that the system moves by means of internal forces as being an isolated system. That is all! 2 minutes ago, exchemist said: No dice. I am still trying to get you to be clear about what happens when you jump in the air. So far, you are not managing even that. This is your point of view and it seems you don't like to confront the issues because you are focused of what I cannot manage, so you think let us take advantage of it and nail him down, right? I don't care. I am not a physicist and I do not claim physics is wrong. On the contrary, I put the material on YouTube and open a thread here in order to discuss it. Each one of us besides knowledge and expertise in our fields, we have some brain and can think in our feet by presenting logical arguments.

The third experiment also suggests that the magnetic forces are responsible for the slide and not (or much less) the gravitational force. About the LEGO car: If you watch closely, you may identify the ring attempts to rotate and while doing that it is blocked by a LEGO piece in front of it. What happens at that moment, the ring seems to push the LEGO piece (being a part of the entire car) that leads to entire LEGO car motion. How Newton's laws may explain this? I cannot find an explanation according to Newton's laws. The only thing I may confirm is the ring attempts to rotate that means a tangential force is at play originated from inside the ring. This can be proven by the Exp #3 with the controllable rotation of the ring. In Exp #3 we may clearly identify the tangential force created by the ring, otherwise the ring wouldn't rotate. Again, there is no interaction with nearby metals or table feet. Note: We speak about a 200 grams ring with high a magnetic permeability (almost all magnetic lines are found inside the ring). See datasheet in my initial posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again it is not a complicated system in terms of demonstrating the effects. You haven't answered my question regarding the force that comes from inside the ring is internal and then I put another argument that the ring shouldn't vibrate according to Newton's 3rd law and nobody said anything about. Something else is happening or something else obscures the effect according to my view. Therefore, I suggest you to watch the example with the LEGO car, it is clearer (no table vibrations, no gravity influence etc). So, who is in bad faith? In front of experimental evidences that need serious discussion, your only interest is to close the thread because someone presented some logical arguments that do not comply with what you serve (physics).

It seems that when friction tends to zero, due to vibration, the ring is sliding to the right, in all experiments. The rotation may be caused by the red tape: the friction appears to be greater between the tape and the table than between the metal and the table ... There are also some forces from the cables ... In order to understand it better, you should: use a bubble level meter (to be sure that the surface is horizontal), reduce the tape/cable rotating effect by "gluing" the ring on a "plate" and minimizing the tension from the cables, and last but not least, remove the metal items around.
