Magnetic Field vs Spacetime: Effects on Inertia Disk

In summary, following an article on how a magnetic field can produce a least a minimum distortion in spacetime, it was explained that any effect on a gyroscope would be balanced by an equal and opposite effect on the field itself and its source. Propulsion without mass variation is not possible with any known fields.

TL;DR Summary
Propultion without mass variation
By following article a magnetic field can produce a least a minimum distortion in spacetime.

If we have a inertia disk spinning 50% inside of a strong closed magnetic field may we suppose that we will create an unbalanced in the angular disc moment producing a propulsion without mass variation since 50% of inertia disk is isolate inside of magnetic or electric field?

I’m not completely understanding your question here. What do you mean by “inertia disk”? Or “unbalanced in the angular disk moment”? Neither of those phrases make sense.

something like a gyroscope

The main question is how much a high density electric or magnetic field can interfere with spacetime in order to affect a Gyroscope that is 50% inside this field and 50% outside.

how much is wrong sorry. How many?

No, how much is correct. The effect you are asking about is continuous.

I assume that by "interfere with spacetime", you are referring to the fact that an electromagnetic field has energy, and energy produces spacetime curvature. This is true, but the amount of spacetime curvature produced by such a field will be extremely small for any field that can be produced by humans.

Also, any effect on a gyroscope would be balanced by an equal and opposite effect on the field itself and its source. You can't violate conservation laws.

No. As @PeterDonis mentioned you cannot violate the conservation laws.

In addition, I think that your concept of a spatially limited field is more than a little problematic. Both magnetic fields and gravitational fields don't have sharp boundaries. A typical magnetic field falls off as ##1/r^3##. Although you can make it fall off faster through careful engineering, it is going to be at some level a smooth and gradual transition. The resulting gravitational field will be even smoother and fall off slower.

However, none of that matters with respect to propulsion. There it is the conservation laws that are the problem.

1. What is a magnetic field?

A magnetic field is a region in space where a magnetic force can be felt. It is created by moving electric charges and can interact with other magnetic fields or with electric currents.

2. How does a magnetic field affect an inertia disk?

A magnetic field can cause the inertia disk to rotate due to the interaction between the magnetic field and the electric currents within the disk. This rotation is known as the Faraday effect.

3. What is spacetime?

Spacetime is the four-dimensional concept that combines space and time into a single framework. It is used in Einstein's theory of relativity to describe the fabric of the universe.

4. How does spacetime affect the behavior of an inertia disk?

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, the presence of mass and energy in spacetime can cause it to curve, which can affect the motion of objects within it. This can result in changes to the behavior of an inertia disk.

5. Are there any real-world applications for understanding the effects of magnetic field and spacetime on inertia disks?

Yes, understanding these effects is important in many areas of science and technology, such as in the development of more efficient electric motors and generators, as well as in the study of celestial bodies and their interactions with magnetic fields and spacetime.
