Description

The magneto-gravitational effect is investigated. It consists in the emission of electromagnetic waves by a body rotating in the strong stationary field of a magnetic dipole whose axis is parallel to the axis of rotation, the rotation being accompanied by a time-variation of the gravitational potential. The effect can be ascribed to the fact that the electrodynamic equations in a strong varying gravitational field has solutions which differ essentially from those of the nonrelativistic equation. Two cases of a varying gravitational field are considered: a) an axil-symmetric ellipsoid rotates about an axis which does not coincide with the symmetry axis; b) a triaxial ellipsoid rotates about the major axis. In the second case the radiation sharply differs from magnetic dipole radiation
