Abstract
We show that self sustained mechanical vibrations in a model magnetic shuttle device can be driven by both
the charge and the spin accumulated on the movable central island of the device. Different scenarios for how
spin- and charge-induced shuttle instabilities may develop are discussed and shown to depend on whether there
is a Coulomb blockade of tunneling or not. The crucial role of electronic spin flips in a magnetically driven shuttle
is established and shown to cause giant magnetoresistance and dynamic magnetostriction effects
