Abstract
A new method for changing the spatial orientation of a rigid body by means of several movable point masses is proposed. It is assumed that these masses form three pairs, and the masses of each pair move symmetrically to each other. It is shown that, under the assumptions made, any given motion of the body can be implemented, including a plane rotation around an arbitrary axis. Two versions of the algorithm are proposed.
期刊介绍:
Doklady Physics is a journal that publishes new research in physics of great significance. Initially the journal was a forum of the Russian Academy of Science and published only best contributions from Russia in the form of short articles. Now the journal welcomes submissions from any country in the English or Russian language. Every manuscript must be recommended by Russian or foreign members of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
