What do you think about gyroscopic propulsion? possible?

[scott ketter]

I am just trying to get a feel for peoples opinions and supporting math/physics on the possibility of gyroscopic propulsion. Do you think it is possible? Why or why not.

There is no such thing. You can't produce a net force with a gyroscope, only torque. Total momentum is always conserved.

Don't trust random youtube videos made by crackpots.

Is there a peer reviewed scientific paper showing that it is possible?

 

[scott ketter]

I am not advocating. Just curious about peoples positions. I have reviewed the patents for this proposed technology and viewed them as not poss

I am not sure if there actually is or not. I have seen many patents and they all look like they would not result in any net directional force. I have my own theory but I want to get the theory, facts or opinions of others. Are you in the "maybe" category? So far I have 1 no.

Ok, once you are sure please post it and we can discuss it. Otherwise it is at best speculative and therefore not suitable for this forum
