Rotating saddle trap: A Coriolis force in an inertial frame
Oleg N. Kirillov, Mark Levi
Particles in rotating saddle potentials exhibit precessional motion which, up to now, has been explained by explicit computation. We show that this precession is due to a hidden Co…

Rotating saddle trap as Foucault's pendulum
Oleg N. Kirillov, Mark Levi
One of the many surprising results found in the mechanics of rotating systems is the stabilization of a particle in a rapidly rotating planar saddle potential. Besides the counteri…
