" A New Type of Levitation"
A back story
Someone liked this idea and ran with it and it ended up here -> https://www.888casino.com/blog/rigged-roulette-wheel
This page has been edited, reordered, and everything you can imagine to say a bunch of nonsense IMO.
I am not Ioannis Kavouras who is the author.
BUT i claim here that he took my research and used it in that article. I used to hang out on his forum before here.
ANYWAYS
My idea started with a quote that is on the 888 - and this quote was thrown around on the roulette forum owned by the author of the 888 article. So before he even had it on this "rigged" article it was being discussed by others.
Quote:Roulette player Robert Gurreri has alleged casinos use cheating methods at roulette and says: "I have such a piezoelectric roulette ball in my possession along with university tests done on it and I can show them to anyone interested. Many casinos in the world are now using this method to cheat players and as a 'security measure' against high rollers."
And this quote and person couldnt be traced back to anyone that I could find, but this event stuck with me and I decided to research his claim.
Referring back to https://www.888casino.com/blog/rigged-roulette-wheel the quote this quote
Quote:Piezoelectric Ceramic Balls
Nowadays the roulette balls are made of piezoelectric ceramic. The material used is BaTiO3 on the surface and BaSO4 on the inside for insulation.
The ball carries a polarized surface charge when hit by an ultrasonic sound wave. This wave is sent from the inter-digital transducers placed in the pockets of each number. They send a wave to the ball that polarizes the surface with a negative charge. The pocket of the number is also negative, therefore the ball jumps out through electrostatic repulsion (see Patent US9114940).
Each numbered pocket has a switch which is controlled by a transistor called IGBT. This transistor turns on the switch so that the pocket is negatively charged. The casino leaves the pockets that it wants the ball to go in neutral, or switched off.
is part if that research I did.
I dont know if anyone knows how often I refer to patents. But the fact that it is referred to on this page should give people some indication that I found that patent and that quote thats in that patent.
And this brings us here today with this new video about ... well the type of levitation ive been trying to show everyone for a long time because i didnt know it existed.
Every now and then I get back to this subject, which is levitation... for a seflish reason and somewhat of a journey into what I would consider the ability to - uh, levitate the roulette ball without a magnet...
Since this just showed up in my youtube feed you all get to read this thread now
