Why does walking to the center of a merry-go-round feel so hard? Coriolis stabilization and the metabolic cost of staying on track
Mario J. Pinheiro
We revisit Feynman's classic carousel problem (\textit{Feynman Lectures}, Vol.~1, Sec.~19.4), in which a student walks radially inward on a platform driven at constant angular velo…
Advances in Engine Efficiency: Nanomaterials, Surface Engineering, and Quantum-based Propulsion
Mario J. Pinheiro
This study explores strategies to improve engine efficiency through innovative materials, design concepts, and alternative energy sources. It highlights the use of nanomaterials an…
From Phase Space to Non-Equilibrium Dynamics: Exploring Liouville's Theorem and its Implications
Mario J. Pinheiro
The Liouville theorem is a fundamental concept in understanding the properties of systems that adhere to Hamilton's equations. However, the traditional notion of the theorem may no…
Effect of TTC on Satellite Orbital Mechanics
Mario J. Pinheiro
The modified dynamical equation of motions introduced in previous publication topological torsion current (TTC) [Mario J. Pinheiro (2013) 'A Variational Method in Out-of-Equilibriu…
Parametric resonance and particle stochastic interactions with a periodic medium
Mario J. Pinheiro
A non-markovian stochastic model shows the emergence of structures in the medium, a self-organization characterized by a relationship between particle's energy, driven frequency $ω…
Quelques reflexions sur la conception du monde de Erwin Schrodinger
Mario J. Pinheiro
Some personal reflections are made about the philosophical posture of Erwin Schrodinger, as exposed in one of his book "Ma Conception du Monde". It is argued that the Taoist view o…
