LIFTING FORCE, ARCHIMEDES’ PRINCIPLE
  1. Ship construction, control of object’s floatability
  2. Compensation of object’s weight
  3. Mounting of heavy or bulky objects
  4. Distribution, sorting, separation of objects according to their specific weight
  5. Measurement of density and viscosity
  6. Fluid level and level measurement e.g. with a spirit level
  7. Parameter measurement of external fields (gravitational field, magnetic field, field of centrifugal forces)
  8. Control of the lifting force with magnetic field: in conducting nonmagnetic liquids (magnetohydrodynamically) or in magnetic liquids (with or without ferromagnetic particles)

Application patterns for the lifting force

  1. Lifting force in liquids-> Lifting force in gases -> hydro- and aerodynamic forces
  2. Float -> bi- and poly-float -> float and anti-float -> system with additional control fields (e.g.: gravitation field, magnetic field, field of centrifugal forces)
  3. Float -> float with filling substance -> float with filling substance and field acting on this filling substance
  4. Environmental medium (liquid or gas) with homogeneous properties-> with heterogeneous properties -> with controlled properties (temperature, density, viscosity)
