Abstract

The gravitational spin-spin interaction between two rotating mass rings is derived in a very simple manner, by the use of an electromagnetic analogy. The feasibility of undertaking a gravitational spin-spin experiment in a laboratory is considered, and it is concluded that the effect is too small to be accurately determined.
