- Produce thrust in a closed chamber when the opposite momentum is compensated with more energy?
This is in fact a shamelessly simple question to a point the reason it puzzles me is because it's too simple:
So basically you have a closed empty/hollow cylinder filled with either gas or even an ordinary solid ball...and then on the left side of the cylinder you put a force on the "fuel" (gas/ball...) so that it moves to the other side and hits it producing movement. Now, since the ball will come back once it hits the right side then can you produce movement ONLY in one direction for as long as you increase the energy from the left side that pushes the ball?
In fact this idea is very similar to the "emdrive" concept:

Yet I am not sure if the "emdrive" design realizes they will need more and more energy to battle the bouncing wave so perpetuum mobile is impossible?
And if this is possible at tall then you may say it's useless since you need more and more energy to combat momentum yet notice how if you have strong amount of heat but limited amount of fuel this is very useful. For example: you can use million degrees hot nuclear reaction in a rocket but you cannot find fuel in the cosmos to recharge the rocket...well it's not easy...thank you!
