  • SIMULATION OF GRAVITY AND DEVICE FOR GENERATING A FORCE ACTING ON AN OBJECT
    Publication number: 20170366109
    Abstract: A method is used for simulating a gravity acting on an object in space. The method comprises inducing a magnetic moment in the object via generation of an external magnetic field in an environment of the object. A device is used for generating a force acting on an object. The device comprises a magnetic device for generating an external magnetic field in an environment of the object and therefore for inducing a magnetic moment in the object. The magnetic device has at least two elements, which can be moved relative to one another for setting the external magnetic field.
