Flux-Pinning Demonstration Posted by: scengr
Video duration: 331 seconds Flux pinning describes the interaction between a high temperature superconductor (HTSC) and a magnetic field. A member of Cornell's Space Systems Design Studio demonstrates the effect.

CUSat Spacecraft Mission Posted by: scengr
Video duration: 83 seconds CUSat consists of two spacecraft being built by students at Cornell University and directed by Professor Mason Peck. This animation shows the sequence of events in CUSat's mission operations. CUSat will demonstrate several new spaceflight technologies, including very close proximity navigation with GPS.

Non-Contacting Joint Demonstration Posted by: scengr
Video duration: 46 seconds A magnet flux-pinned to a superconductor functions as a kinematic joint or hinge. These two modules floating on an air table demonstrate the non-contacting joint.

Lorentz-Augmented Earth Orbit Posted by: scengr
Video duration: 17 seconds An electrically charged spacecraft can exchange energy with planetary magnetic fields in a way that resembles energy exchange in a gravitational flyby maneuver. More at www.spacecraftresear ch.com/LAO Related: lorentz, orbit, spacecraft, spacecraftresearch.com |

Non-contacting Kinematic Joints Posted by: scengr
Video duration: 12 seconds Flux-pinning effects are based upon changes in magnetic flux through a superconductor volume, so any changes in the system's configuration that do not change that flux are unaffected by flux pinning. The freedom to design this type of unrestricted motion in a system allows for the creation of non-contacting mechanisms.

CMG Scissored Pair Posted by: scengr
Video duration: 11 seconds Two CMGs (control moment gyroscopes) mirror each other. The torques add together along a single axis, which can be aligned with the joint, and cancel along other directions.
