Hey Guys,

Ive been looking at the pull of gravity
and what you need to do to lengthen period.


Like here's what seems to be:


Given any proper spring extended by whatever mass 10 inches
the free period on earth is like 1 second.


if the gravity is made less and you use the same spring
here is what happens.

to extend the spring to 10 inches on the moon
you need to increase the mass until the wight
will deflect the spring 10 inches. then
you get like 1 * sqr( gEarth/gmoon ) or 2.4 seconds.

This means to me you need to reduce gravity considerably
like 1/25 to 1/100 to get the free periods you are looking for.


Does anyone know how to build a circuit based upon this idea.

I mean,

Like,

Magnetic levitation to effectively reduce
gravity by 1/25 or 32.17/25 = 1.28 f/(sec^2)

I mean in layman terms,

How can one reduce the pull of gravity
so that gravity effect is like 1.28
instead of 32.17 using any practical means
known today ?

You are playing with forces here
which means you will need to
take most of the wight off the spring
and use a smaller spring coefficient
with the very same mass.

I have been thinking like
buoyancy in whatever OF magnetic field
or electrostatic or mechanical
advantages ???

Any ideas ?

I am relatively sure everything has
already been tried even tho no one
talks about it.

Any relevant answer is appreciated.

Regards,
geoff
