The trajectory of vibrating systems in general relativity exhibits significant deviations from a free fall trajectory. Here is shown the trajectory of a vibrating system compare to the free fall circular orbit (in red) around a central mass. The vibrations of the system are not shown but all the deviations has been amplified. Discover this project on http://www.esa.int/gsp/ACT/phy/op/rel_glider.htm .
