![]() Mosh pits might provide clues about the new rules. In emergencies people panic, and the movement rules they follow change. The new mosh pit research could be interesting for another reason. Now concertgoers can be added to the list, he told NPR in an email. Flocks of birds and schools of fish do similar things. It's not just the metal heads that obey these kinds of basic mathematical rules, says Andreas Bausch, a researcher at the Munich Technical University in Germany. You can try some simulations for yourself in their mosh pit simulator below. Using a mixture of simulated moshers and standing fans, they could reproduce mosh pits, circle pits and other common collective motions that take place at metal concerts. Using just a few variables, like how fast people moved and how dense the crowd was, Bierbaum and Silverberg created a mathematical model that they presented at this week's March meeting of the American Physical Society. ![]() Silverberg emphasizes that no tax dollars went toward buying concert tickets - the study is a labor of love. They went to concerts and studied videos from YouTube. Physicists have worked out the basic rules that describe this kind of motion, so Bierbaum and Silverberg decided to look for the rules of motion in moshing. "It was basically just this random mess of collisions, which is essentially how you want to think about the gas in the air that we breathe," he says. While he was watching, he realized that the motion of people in a mosh pit looks kind of like molecules moving in a gas. "But this time I wanted her to be safe and have a good time, so we stayed out on the side and watched things from there." "Usually I would jump in the mosh pit," he says. ![]() They're also metal heads who enjoy going to concerts and hurling themselves into mosh pits full of like-minded fans.Ībout five years ago Silverberg took his girlfriend to her first gig. Both are graduate students at Cornell University. Pre-orders for these bikes are open, priced at €3,499, with deliveries due in Spring 2021 for people in the USA and Germany for now with more to countries to be announced.Physics and heavy metal don't seem to have a lot in common, but Matt Bierbaum and Jesse Silverberg have found a connection. ![]() The Mosh has four riding modes that vary from Eco to Boost mode but what is interesting is a separate ‘Walk Assist’ button that engages the motor to offer a low level of forward motion to help easily maneuver the bike at walking speeds, especially if there is ever a need to push it up a hill. It is an all aluminium frame with integrated batteries in the lower frame, making it easy to remove for off-site charging. It is fitted with a 529Wh battery which offers a range of up to 105 miles. The Mosh features a 250W of power offering assistance up to 20mph. Serial 1 also has the Rush model in three iterations which is more of a commuter bicycle. The Mosh model looks to be the coolest model and one that is built for fun as well as commuting. Serial 1 is a new company that is building e-bikes but is powered by Harley Davidson. We have written about a number of different e-bikes from the Reevo, Ducati’s e-scrambler and the Vanmoof. Electric bikes are more and more mainstream, they aren’t for ‘cheaters’ but for those looking for something extra on their ride.
