Popis: This paper discusses properties of simulations of electrically self-repelling knots. In particular, we give an example of two configurations of the Kinoshita-Terasaka knot (of Alexander polynomial one) that appear to be distinct local energy minima for both the electrical simulation and for the Simon energy.
