If anybody is interested and qualified in this, send an email. I'm deleting this forum from my favorites list due to a lack of results.

The falling wate will compress the springz in haf the time if its going twice az fast. The average speed from wutever to zero iz haf the wutever speed. So twice the average speed over the same distance iz haf the time. Maybe if i describe the device better, you can get a good idea of wut...

I am getting 4X the force because each compressed spring has the same amount of force and there are 4X az many of them. The way I see it, if you used an geared down electric motor to compress the springs and its controlled to take the same amount of time to compress them, it will require 4...

The Ion Source Beam looks fascinating, but its nothing like my idea. I figured my idea was so basic that it woud be on the web already, but I haven't seen it anywhere yet. This means its either totally stupid to anybody who has enuff physics knowledge or that just by chance nobody haz put...

Here iz the experiment I did: I dropped a wate far enuff to compress 2 springs by 5mm. Then I added 6 more springs to the device and dropped the wate from a hite that woud cause it to be going twice az fast az the 1st drop. But because of the crude setup, I needed to drop it from more than 4X...

Thanks for the description, maverick. This idea is too simple for that tho. Anybody hearing the basic concepts will be able to put 2 and 2 together. I could easily fall into that category, Skeptic. That kinda cheers me up, since I've noticed that the majority of giant company head honchos...

I don't mind the digression & agression. Its interesting to see your spirited opinions on patents. I don't have much confidence in the patent system myself. This comes from working in R&D for 20 years at many companies. If giant multinational conglomerates can't effectively protect their IP...

I am not concerned about the idea being stolen. I don't think it has much chance of being a profitable product for my little company. The problem is that it has weapons potential. If you look at the NASA advanced concepts site, you will see that the conventional physics drive systems are all...

Maybe you have yet to discover the value of patent 'protection', Danger. The only real way to protect an idea is to keep it out of the heads of anybody who may want to steal it.

Is this too basic for everybody here or do none of you have an answer?

I have an idea for a space drive system that does not use explosions or even combustion. It doesn't require any new physics, but its something that may not be possible to build. However, it seems far more practical than any of the systems I've seen so far. I can think of how to make it, I...

I woudnt be so quick to dismiss this, especially since they are claiming a working prototype. I can think of several things rite off the top of my head to counter some of the major problems you are citing. Going by the patent info is useless, since it could be purposely misleading to keep the...

That gap between 2 plane mirrors looks like hez about to diliver a stern lecture. And in my opinion, A well deserved one!

Would any of you be interested in looking at an idea I have for a propulsion system? Send an email.

About the simultanieity thing. What stops someone from taking his own velocity into account? The spaceship you are on is going 100,000 mps relative to the sun & you see a meteor strike on Mars in front of you and then another on Earth behind you a few seconds later. Why could you not...
