Abstract In the last decades, green deorbiting technologies have begun to be investigated and raised a great interest in space community. Among others, electrodynamic tethers appear promising option. By interacting with surrounding ionosphere, generate drag Lorentz force decrease orbit altitude of satellite, causing its re-entry atmosphere without using propellant. this work, requirements that ...

DYNAMIC TESTING REFERENCE ISSUE is recognized as being elastic rather than rigid. This is modeled by treating the coil and table as separate masses connected The performance envelope of an electrodynamic shaker system is strongly influenced by three modes of vibration and the voltage/current capacities of the power amplifier that drives it. Other limiting factors are the designed stroke (displa...

We argue that the well-known problem of the instabilities associated with the self-forces (radiation reaction forces) in classical electrodynamics are possibly stabilized by the introduction of gravitational forces via general relativity.
