Abstract
The formulation of the problem of motion of charged particles in the field of two magnetic dipoles revolving about a fixed point, is presented. Subsequently, the equilibrium points, and their stability, the spaces of trapped motions and three types of periodic motions are presented. The essential findings of this study are the existence of two spaces of trapping, one behind each dipole, and of one family of planar orbits of very large velocities and very short periods that oscillate at the interval between the two dipoles and almost hit each dipole once every period.
