Building the next pyramid
Joseph West, Greg Gallagher, Kevin Waters +2
The results of experimental tests of a novel method for moving large (pyramid construction size) stone blocks by rolling them are presented. The method is implemented by tying 12 i…
How they (should have) built the pyramids
J. West, G. Gallagher, K. Waters
A novel method is proposed for moving large, pyramid construction size, stone blocks. The method is inspired by a well known introductory physics homework problem, and is implement…
Rolling Release Siege Engines: Teaching an Old Machine a New Trick
Joseph West, Seth Ross, James Flesher
The analysis of a new "rolling release" mechanism is presented for three different "siege engine" designs. The range obtained with the rolling release is compared to the ranges obt…
The differential aging of inertial and non-inertial observers: The Eyewitness observations of a relativistic polygon traveler
J. West
The time dilation of non-inertial travelers in circular and polygonal closed paths are well known. In both cases observers completing a round trip will age less than an observer at…
