Net Magnetic Force Generation in Discontinuous Circuits: A Force Symmetry-Breaking Phenomenon
Résumé
This paper explores the potential for generating a net magnetic force in circuits with open sections, where the asymmetry of interacting forces can produce a resultant force. It is shown that the forces between two wires can be decomposed into reciprocal and directional components. Reciprocal forces generally produce no net force, while directional forces vanish in closed circuits but may remain nonzero in discontinuous circuits. Additionally, it is demonstrated that asymmetries in the field and self-induced stress tensors can behave similarly to external forces, causing a change in total momentum. It is also shown that if the open sections are replaced with capacitors, there is a possible non-reciprocal interaction between the capacitors and the wires. The central concept behind this work stems from a nuanced idea that may have been overlooked or remained unnoticed. The proposed idea's simplicity could lead to the development of affordable propellant-less(non-chemical) propulsion systems for space applications, such as the repositioning of satellites.
