Antigravity Experiments?

[NaturalPhilosopher]

Hg is an electricity conductor, so when forced into a circular (toroidal) shape it behaves exactly like a coiling. It can generate magnetic field if an electrical charge runs through it, it can receive an induced magnetic field, generating electricity in its circuit (short-circuit, in fact).
Yes, anything changes under extreme pressure or temperature (low or high), but it has to be a ridiculously high pressure, probably only the surface of a neutron star could make Hg shrink its volume. As for temperature, the range is narrower, in some certain laboratory created conditions it can be brought to vapors (high temperature) … I do not know if it can be brought to its freezing point and turned from liquid to solid – probably yes.

why is mercury used? why not gallium(a liquid), or even solid metals?
why is mercury of such interest?

here's a thought.

people extract real energy from the tides(tide turbines)
tide is caused by gravity from the moon.
does the moon lose gravity?

Excellent posting....Is this the tide you were talking about, and if it is, would you use Bio or Non Bio? ..

Well … it is quite simple – it is very heavy (dense) which is an advantage when playing around with spinning and gyro stuff (great inertia), it is a relatively thin liquid which makes it take the form of whatever cavity it is poured into, it has a quite significant dilation/contraction coefficient and it is a good electricity conductor which is useful in some application (not many).
In what I am interested, it was exactly the behavior difference between Hg and a solid metal that got my attention, especially when in motion.

as steel rusts it loses physical strength. It's crumbly. As that happens the rusting metal tensioned spring will unwind as rust eats through it at one part of the spring. Then bam, it unwinds. Nothing rusts evenly. Even if were to rust evenly the new structure of the metal will fling off little particles of rust into the water with force. Remember, the metal atoms themselves are under tension. Not just the whole structure.

umm..the tides aren't caused by the inertia of the moon. They're caused by the gravitational attraction. Tides would happen if the moon flew by earth in a straight line, would pull the oceans along with it producing tides once.

what energy did the moon lose?

All the phenomena you mentioned happens indeed, but not at the expected scale. The most significant (and most often overseen) is the fact that the rusting process takes much less time when the spring is under tension, it happens much faster. Assuming an ideal system (where the rusting happens evenly), there is also an amount of heat released during the rusting process, heat that is greater than in the case of no tension.

The inertia of the moon makes it pass again and again over the same earth spot (ocean shore) during its rotation. If it would move in a linear trajectory, the tide phenomenon would happen just once, as you mentioned.
So, the moon basically lost kinetic energy (not on a spectacular scale, but it lost some).

I'm not talking about kinetic energy as linear inertia but rather gravity.
If anything, you can use gravity to increase linear motion.
Like how satellites slingshot around planets to speed up.

So again, why is gravity always the same no matter how much energy you can extract?
(imagine the moon slingshot around the earth, speeds up..pulls on ocean same time).

 

[NaturalPhilosopher]

all chemical, mechanical, nuclear, electromagnetic energy is just from an asymmetric arrangement of charge.
same goes for gravity.
can use it as a power source if there's an asymmetry of it(cough, moon, cough)

Gravity does not care about how much energy was added or extracted, it cares only about the mass that was added or subtracted.

 

[NaturalPhilosopher]

then it violates conservation of energy

why don't we wizz satellites in the solar system. Make them slingshot around the planets to speed up then turn back to earth to slam into it to make a giant explosion. Whee...free energy.

remember, gravity is constantly accelerates things.

It seems that when there is an asymmetry in matter (mass), things happen differently and stranger than in case of other charges. Mass asymmetry is harder to balance. Gravity is one of the so called side effects of this.
Take the electric charge – two positive charged particles will always repel each other (also two negative charged). Same in magnetism – two North poles always repel each other (also two South poles). With matter it is a little stranger – two objects that have mass, will always attract each other (gravitationally).

well anyways, just trying to show ya that gravity and inertia of the moon stays the same no matter how millions of times it tugs on the oceans. Moon is 2000 miles across, Earth is 8000 miles. Think it would've lost all it's mass by now 'eh?
