What would happen if I spun a homopolar generator at 99.9% c?What would happen if I spun a homopolar generator at 99.9% c?
If you spun the outer rim of a conductor in a Faraday disc (homopolar generator) at v=0.999c, the classical Lorentz force formula F=q(E+v×B) breaks down, yielding to relativistic electrodynamics and
