Normally, a plane moves along three rotational axes. “Inertia coupling” takes place when the plane inadvertently moves on two ...

NASA’s controversial EmDrive is a curious development. A reactionless propulsion drive that, by all known laws of physics, shouldn’t work, but it does. Despite successful tests, a number of physicists ...

As we move away from large power plants with massive rotating turbogenerators, there will be problems with maintaining lock-step grid system frequency stability. Wind turbines have much less ...

About 10 years ago, a little-known aerospace engineer called Roger Shawyer made an extraordinary claim. Take a truncated cone, he said, bounce microwaves back and forth inside it and the result will ...

When all of this is over, Barack Obama's success or failure in his bid for the presidency will still have come down to the unimpeachable laws of physics. Last weekend Obama was all momentum as the ...

As Jeff Magson sees it, an unseen killer of financial plans lurks beneath the surface of every client relationship: behavioral inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain at rest, or to ...

It’s a term in physics. Inertia refers to “the tendency of a body at rest to remain at rest or of a body in straight line motion to stay in motion in a straight line unless acted on by an outside ...

This simple experiment demonstrates a physics basic: inertia. This simple experiment demonstrates a physics basic: inertia. This simple experiment demonstrates a physics basic: inertia. Unless you're ...
