Two very basic questions about momentum in space

In summary, the conversation discusses the concept of momentum and opposite forces in relation to spinning batteries in space. The first question asks about the weight of the battery increasing when it is being loaded, and what happens to the spinning object in this scenario. The second question involves the possibility of creating momentum through electromagnetic fields and altering them with other fields. However, this topic is forbidden on the forum. The conversation also mentions the difficulty of focusing on the conversation due to visual impairments.

This first question of mine is about momentum?
And opposite forses.

Lets think we have two batteries or something similar
spinning in space like in carusel structure.
And the batteries are athe more spinning end.
First the batteries are empty and we start loading
the first battery.
So em i wrong that now this battery weight goes up?
And what happens to this spinning thing

And what happens when now we move the energy
to this second battery from this first one?

I ask this because there is suppoust to be
any momentum but maybe a change in spin
axix or not? So how the Newtons momentum
should understand in electric changes?

And the second question of mine is this.

If we make a electromagnetic field and
we alter this field by other field like some
emitter or like. And this first field
is at rapid on and of pulse
can we make momentum?
So if we think some kind of
vehicle and so can we move it in
this field in space or can we move this field
for momentum?

If someone can give me some basic real answer
I would be happy!

Welcome to the PF.

The work being done will change the center of mass of the rotating object, so it will just rotate a bit off of its geometric center. Just as if you had a person in the middle of the rotating object, and they did some work to pull part of the mass at one end of the rotating structure toward them. That only changes the center of mass (COM) and hence the center of rotation.

It sounds like you are asking about EM Drives or Reactionless Drives, which are forbidden topics here. Please be sure to read the PF Rules under INFO at the top of the page, as well as the EM Drive link below. Thank you.

Ok! First sorry if this second question was at forbitten topics. So I leave this out.

Ok! I am sorry if this second question was off- topic
by this EmDrive forbitten issue. Sorry about that.

So did i get this right that in this battery scenario
it is possible to move mass to this second battery
without making Newton momentum forse to other
x-y-z scale? But if in space we try to move mass
in like common movement there happens x-y-z movement
if this mass is not in vacum?

So if first we have some axeled things
and in these two we have battery we can choose
in space withc keeps like in still and witch one moves
in this scenario?

And I hope this post gomes to right place pecause I am
legally Blind and this is quite hard to me to focus
tthese all things at this html page. So sorry if this
is at wrong area or something like.

But this battery scenario is to me little tricky
and i like to think about these kind of topics.

Thanks for answer

It still sounds like you are talking about Reactionless Drives. Have a look at this wikipedia page to see if it helps to answer your questions:

Ok!
But do you remember this thing that has axle and
wings one side black and other side silver or aluminium like?

Now let's forget the axle and think that this is at space
and sun is bursting to this thing.. So it starts to rotate
by its axis or em i totally wrong?

And now let's image that in both sides at the point
the sping is higher are batteries. So now if we load
this other end that is not having the maximum light effect
we load its battery the mass point change to this point and
the rotation point can be alterted?

And if I have understood correctl. Now we can move this
thing in some where we need?

And this is not a Emdrive or something like this but
more like ship in wind that has stability more than lability?

Or does this thing stay put and only moves out of the sun to
pointles cordination?

By the way and sidemark. Do you work at 50mc band?

But as endmark has this mass change any relevant profit
or does the Newtons law to cut this benefit if there is
working idea at all?

Thanks for advice

Do you mean the Crookes radiometer?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crookes_radiometer

If so, you should read the Wikipedia page carefully, particularly the section on "effect observations".

It won't rotate in a hard enough vacuum; see the Wikipedia page.
 

1. What is momentum in space?

Momentum in space refers to the quantity of motion of an object in a specific direction. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.

2. How is momentum calculated in space?

Momentum in space is calculated by multiplying the mass of an object by its velocity. The equation for momentum is: p = m * v, where p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity.

3. Is momentum conserved in space?

Yes, momentum is conserved in space as long as there are no external forces acting on the objects. This is known as the law of conservation of momentum.

4. How does momentum affect objects in space?

Momentum affects objects in space by determining how they will move and interact with other objects. Objects with higher momentum will be more difficult to stop or change direction, while objects with lower momentum will be easier to manipulate.

5. Can momentum be transferred in space?

Yes, momentum can be transferred in space through collisions or interactions between objects. When two objects collide, momentum is transferred from one object to the other, causing changes in their motion.
