Physicists Have Discovered a New Paradox

Let me give a brief description about the new discovery. Amplitude of mechanical vibrations can grow without external influence. The reason lies in mechanical vibrations. It is as if heat is generated through the repeated compression of the spring and then the system temperature rises. The increased heat of the system is converted into kinetic energy, which increases the amplitude of the oscillator! At first glance, mechanical energy is transformed into thermal energy, and then thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy, and at the same time, the amplitude is increased. The energy of oscillator is increasing? In fact, it is not. There will be an explanation later. Meanwhile, this happens only with special crystal materials.
Researchers from the Peter the Great St.Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) have discovered and theoretically explained a new physical effect: amplitude of mechanical vibrations can grow without external influence.
It is generally believed that it is impossible to achieve oscillatory resonance without constant external influence. However, the scientific group of the Higher School of Theoretical Mechanics, Institute of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics SPbPU discovered a new physical phenomenon of “ballistic resonance,” where mechanical oscillations can be excited only due to internal thermal resources of the system.

The experimental work of researchers from all around the world demonstrated, that heat spreads at abnormally high speeds at nano and micro levels in ultrapure crystalline materials. This phenomenon is called ballistic heat conductivity.
The scientific group supervised by Anton Krivtsov, derived the equations describing this phenomenon and made significant progress in the overall understanding of thermal processes at the micro-level. In the study published in Physical Review E researchers considered the system behavior at the initial periodic distribution of temperature in the crystal material.
