Abstract
A motive force generation device for generating a net resultant propulsive force vector through reactionless drive means. The device includes a reactionless drive that rotates one or more masses about an axis, decreases the radius about the axis without causing external torque on the system therefore increasing the energy level of the mass, continues to rotate mass at the higher energy level, then increases the radius about the axis to its original distance. The work required to rotate mass at a higher energy state is greater than the work to rotate mass at the original state, causing an unbalanced system resulting in the net propulsive force.
Claims18
A directional motive force generation device, the device comprising:
- a counter-rotating mass pair, the mass pair comprising a drive mass rotating about a fixed point defined by a first shaft and a driven mass rotating about a fixed point defined by a second shaft in a direction opposite that of the drive mass and in synchronization with the drive mass;
- and
- an dedicated actuator associated with each mass, each actuator adapted to cause the creation of a net resultant force for propulsion of the device by varying the distance of the respective mass relative to the respective axis during rotation of the counter-rotating mass pair.
A method for generating a directional motive force, the method steps comprising:
- imparting rotational energy on a device comprising at least one pair of counter-rotating masses, each pair comprising a drive mass rotating about a fixed point defined by a first shaft and a driven mass rotating about a fixed point defined by a second shaft in a direction opposite that of the drive mass and in synchronization with the drive mass;
- synchronously altering the radius of rotation of the mass pair to increase the angular velocity of the counter-rotating mass pair during a portion of the rotational period;
- and
- creating a net resultant force for propulsion of the device by synchronously altering the radius of the rotation of the counter-rotating mass pair to decrease the angular velocity of the counter-rotating mass pair during the remaining portion of the rotational period.
