Hello, my name is S Patrick Gallaty and I am currently working on an experiment. Some friends and I came up with an amusing possibility for a method of motivating an object along a gauss 'wave.' Imagine a tube of some length with adjoining coils that surround it along it's entire length. Each coil is ganged together with a number of other coils to produce a number of circuits (4, 8?) that are each some degree out of sync with one another. The entire electro-mechanism is fed by a voltage-controlled-oscillator that compensates for the accelleration of the object within the tube to provide maximum contribution of effort. If someone would be so kind as to point us in the right direction as to the formulas involved, or work that has been done in the past along these lines, we would be highly appreciative.
