A model to inter-relate the values of the quantum electrodynamic, gravitational and cosmological constants

L. Eaves

The fundamental constants of electromagnetism, gravity and quantum mechanics can be related empirically by the numerical approximation , where is th…

The apparent fine-tuning of the cosmological, gravitational and fine structure constants

Laurence Eaves

A numerical coincidence relating the values of the cosmological, gravitational and electromagnetic fine structure constants is presented and discussed in relation to the apparent a…

Shape oscillations of a charged diamagnetically-levitated droplet

R. J. A. Hill, L. Eaves

We investigate the effect of electrical charge on the normal mode frequencies of electrically-charged diamagnetically levitated water droplets with radii 4.5-7.5 mm using diamagnet…

Vibrations of a diamagnetically levitated water droplet

R. J. A. Hill, L. Eaves

We measure the frequencies of small-amplitude shape oscillations of a magnetically-levitated water droplet. The droplet levitates in a magnetogravitational potential trap. The rest…

Polygonal excitations of spinning and levitating droplets

R. J. A. Hill, L. Eaves

The shape of a weightless spinning liquid droplet is governed by the balance between the surface tension and centrifugal forces. The axisymmetric shape for slow rotation becomes un…

Surface Instabilities on Liquid Oxygen in an Inhomogeneous Magnetic Field

A. T. Catherall, Keith A Benedict, P. J. King +1

Liquid oxygen exhibits surface instabilities when subjected to a sufficiently strong magnetic field. A vertically oriented magnetic field gradient both increases the magnetic field…
