In 2005, Yves Couder, Emmanuel Fort, and coworkers discovered that a millimetric droplet may be sustained on the surface of a vibrating fluid bath. If tracked over time, the droplet seemed to connect particle-like and wave-like nature. Thus, it was found that the droplet could be used to model quantum mechanical phenomena at the macroscopic scale. More recently, researchers at the University of Northern Colorado have tried to recreate some of Couder and Fort’s work but have been experiencing difficulties maintaining stable oscillation at the higher frequencies required to properly model quantum mechanics. What you see here describes our work to reduce said instabilities using a magnetic repulsion. More specifically, this website describes our magnetic-oscillatory system in full, as well as how we assembled it. We then explore the possible implications that have arisen from the success of our system in achieving stable oscillation at 80Hz and above.
