Speedup of a Chaplygin top by means of rotors

Abstract: In this paper we consider the control of the motion of a dynamically asymmetric unbalanced ball (Chaplygin top) by means of two perpendicular rotors. We propose a mechanism for control by periodically changing the gyrostatic momentum of the system, which leads to an unbounded speedup. We then formulate a general hypothesis of the mechanism for speeding up spherical bodies on a plane by periodically changing the system parameters.

“…In recent studies of nonholonomic systems the problems of moving a Chaplygin sleigh and Chaplygin top by small periodic control actions are considered. The results confirm the possibility of constant acceleration (speedup) of the wheeled vehicle due to the periodic change in the mass distribution [1,2], as well as acceleration of the Chaplygin top with the help of an internal rotor [3]. In this case, the acceleration mechanism is called Fermi acceleration and is observed in systems with two and a half or more degrees of freedom.…”

“…A proof of unbounded growth of energy under periodic oscillations of the rotor inside the Chaplygin sleigh and of bounded growth in the presence of dissipation is given in [7]. An unbounded acceleration for the Chaplygin sphere is discussed in [13]. We note that the acceleration mechanism of spheres is still not understood.…”

“…In this paper, we consider a dynamically asymmetric ball rolling without slipping, in which rotors rotate and pairs of internal material points move, so that the center of mass always coincides with the geometric center of the shell. Changing the moments of inertia of the body due to the motion of masses entails various effects [16]: the appearance of attracting sets and the appearance of strange attractors. Computer analysis of the resulting system dynamics and contact point trajectories is performed.…”
