Abstract
Geometric magnetism is a post adiabatic reaction force exerted by a fa st system on a slow system coupled to it. Here it is demonstrated anal ytically and numerically that a heavy (slow) uncharged billiard bounda ry, partial derivative D, swerves, on the average, because of geometri c magnetism exerted through elastic impacts from a light (fast) charge d particle moving inside partial derivative D in a magnetic field, for both regular and chaotic fast motions.
