The Casimir Torque on a Cylindrical Gear
arXiv:1304.7475 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.90.022105
Abstract
We utilize Effective Field Theory(EFT) techniques to calculate the casimir torque on a cylindrical gear in the presence of a polarizable but neutral object. We present results for the energy and torque as a function of angle for a gear with multiple cogs, as well as for the case of a concentric cylindrical gear.
