I don't think the whole idea is properlly being conveyed. How do I post a diagram? :rolleyes:
Yes, in usual systems the whole device would be back to square one. However in this idea the math says it won't :)
Edit:
Oh btw, supposable angular and linear movement are reserved to each...
Yes if your talking only using one object.
We are using two pipes here though. Each pipe at this instant would have the 1kg ball on one side. The pipes would be parallel to each other and then swung 1 clockwise and the other counterclockwise. All the centripetal forces would be canceled out...
Yes it is heavier in one end for 90 degrees. After that the weight would be on the other side and move it back. If you spin an object 180 degrees you will be at your starting location.
Of course there would be friction and some energy would be lost to this. It is electically powered though.
The whole point is its a system that would propel a mass in space without a reaction. It does this by delaying the reaction by a fraction of a second. Granted you never really could...
This is probably off the wall but I would like some other peoples opinions none the less.
Imagine two 10kg, 1 meter long pipes that are closed off at each end. At the ends are magnet coils to propel and object back and forth. Inside the pipes there is a magnet disk/ball/whatever that is 1kg...
