Self-stabilization of light sails by damped internal degrees of freedom

M. Z. Rafat, Holger R. Dullin, Boris T. Kuhlmey +7

We consider the motion of a light sail that is accelerated by a powerful laser beam. We derive the equations of motion for two proof-of-concept sail designs with damped internal de…

Throwing $π$ at a wall

M. Z. Rafat, D. Dobie

We discuss a method for calculating $π$ using elastic collision between two masses $M$ and $m$ , with $X = m / M = 1 0^{2 (1 - d)}$ where $d$ is an integer, and a wall. The total…
