Stable Machines

Stable machines are devices created by crafting and arranging rods into specific configurations, producing attrapulsive effects without the need for a pulser to couple with them. Sets of rods or other tools arranged in specific patterns form attrapulsive arrays, which can create powerful or complex effects. The use of stable machines and attrapulsive arrays can lead to innovative architectural designs, and city-wide defenses based on attrapulsion. Although simple, worn amplifiers are examples of stable machines.

Machinettes

Machinettes are small stable machines that do useful jobs, like door locks and amplifiers. With careful engineering and arrangement of miniature rods, attrapulsive forces can be pinned, forming static fields that enable objects to hover or levitate stably.

Miniaturisation of stable machines is a recent development in the field of attrapulsion, and has been used to create increasingly complicated devices. It is the most active area of research in the field in the present day, and is being led by researchers in both the University and in independent laboratories in Pulser’s Clave.
