Experimental Evidence on Non-Applicability of the Standard Retardation Condition to Bound Magnetic Fields and on New Generalized Biot-Savart Law

Abstract

In this work we made an analysis of the current status of velocity dependent (bound) field components in the framework of the standard electromagnetic theory. Preliminary discussions of the structure of the magnetic field due to an idealized oscillating magnetic dipole provided us with the quantitative insights on the relative contribution of velocity dependent (bound) and acceleration dependent (radiation) terms into the resultant magnetic field. According to this analysis we defined the methodological scheme based on a generalized (time-dependent) Biot-Savart law capable to test the applicability of the standard retardation condition on bound field components. In the second part of this work we made the theoretical analysis of the finite size multi-section antennas, confirming the validity of the methodological scheme conceived for an idealized magnetic dipole. The use of multi-section antennas is fully justified by a substantial rise of the ratio of bound-to-radiation field strength. Finally, we effected numerical calculations taking into account particular experimental settings and compared them with experimentally obtained data that unambiguously indicate on the non-applicability of the standard retardation condition to bound magnetic fields. In addition, experimental observations show a striking coincidence with the predictions of a new generalized Biot-Savart law which implies the spreading velocity of bound fields highly exceeding the velocity of light.

Projection Angles of Projectiles in Sports: Qualitative Assessment of the Effects of Aerodynamic Forces or Run-Up

We examine two major factors that influence the optimum projection angle: aerodynamic forces and the effect of run-up. With respect to aerodynamics, we consider not only the drag but also the lift generated by spin during flight. By linearizing the equations of motion that include these forces, we derive perturbation solutions with respect to drag and lift coefficients and clarify their qualitative effects. The results show that both drag and lift reduce the optimum projection angle, with the latter exerting a stronger influence. To investigate the effect of run-up, we use an extended projection model in which the initial speed depends on the initial angle. Analysis of this model reveals that a stronger run-up increases the relative projection angle but decreases the launch angle observed from the ground. These findings provide a mechanical explanation for the release angle in shot put and the takeoff angle in long jump. The present study establishes a simple theoretical framework for clarifying the respective roles of aerodynamic and run-up effects in determining the optimum projection angles in sports.

Dunkl-Based Modeling of Vibrational Modes in Lightweight Elastic Beams

Optimizing slender elastic structures for renewable energy applications requires non-classical continuum formulations capable of accounting for spatial micro-interactions without sacrificing analytical tractability. Here, we extend beam vibration mechanics by replacing standard spatial derivatives with the Dunkl differential operator. This modification introduces a reflection-coupled mathematical structure that accounts for spatial parity effects across the beam domain. We formulate the governing dynamic equations into a generalized eigenvalue problem and derive exact analytical expressions for modal characteristics under standard boundary conditions. The classical limit confirms exact convergence to classical Euler-Bernoulli formulations. Parametric analyses reveal that the Dunkl parameter acts as a reflection-induced modulation parameter, significantly shifting natural frequencies and altering the modal characteristics of higher modes. These results provide an analytical baseline for dynamic optimization in lightweight structural components.

A purely mechanical system realizing a Coulomb-like interaction

We solve in closed form a one-dimensional relativistic system: two masses interacting only through elastic collisions with a massless mediator bouncing between them. Momenta, times, and positions are hyperbolic functions of the collision index. The mediator energy, interpreted as the pair's effective potential, obeys an exact discrete Coulomb law, $V\propto 1/r$, with a Lorentz-invariant action as coupling. A massive Newtonian mediator instead transmits a $1/r^{3}$ force; one adiabatic invariant traces both laws to the mediator's dispersion relation. Continued to negative mediator energy, the closed forms turn trigonometric, binding a one-dimensional mechanical analog of the Coulomb atom.
