Carbon nanotube Archimedes screws.
Recently, nanomechanical devices composed of a long stationary inner carbon nanotube and a shorter, slowly rotating outer tube have been fabricated. In this paper, we study the possibility of using such devices as nanoscale transducers of motion into electricity. When the outer tube is chiral, we show that such devices act like quantum Archimedes screws, which utilize mechanical energy to pump ...
متن کاملArchimedes’ Cattle Problem
If thou art diligent and wise, O stranger, compute the number of cattle of the Sun, who once upon a time grazed on the fields of the Thrinacian isle of Sicily, divided into four herds of different colours, one milk white, another glossy black, the third yellow and the last dappled. In each herd were bulls, mighty in number according to these proportions: Understand, stranger, that the white bul...
متن کاملThe Archimedes Codex
We learned, of course, something of the curious story of the oldest (by 400 years) surviving manuscript of some of Arch imedes ’ works, collected in a Byzantine codex that contained the end of Equilibrium of Planes , great parts of The Sphere and the Cylinder and Measurement of the Circle, a sizable portion of On Floating Bodies, one folio of The Stomachion, and a large portion of The Method. T...
متن کاملArchimedes’ calculations of square roots
We reconsider Archimedes’ evaluations of several square roots in ‘Measurement of a Circle’. We show that several methods proposed over the last century or so for his evaluations fail one or more criteria of plausibility. We also provide internal evidence that he probably used an interpolation technique. The conclusions are relevant to the precise calculations by which he obtained upper and lowe...
متن کاملArchimedes’ Principle for Brownian Liquid
We consider a family of hard core objects moving as independent Brownian motions confined to a vessel by reflection. These are subject to gravitational forces modeled by drifts. The stationary distribution for the process has many interesting implications, including an illustration of the Archimedes’ principle. The analysis rests on constructing reflecting Brownian motion with drift in a genera...
