Vehicle inertial propulsion system - has rotating radial arms tangentially releasing weights whose impact causes propulsive reaction force

摘要

The inertial propulsion system comprises a number of weights (7) which are rotated at the ends of radial arms in opposite direction in two parallel planes. At diametrically opposed points (1) the weights are released and follow a linear trajectory (2) to a braking system (3) where the impact causes a reaction force used for propulsion. After impact, the weights return (via 4) to the arms and the process is repeated. The possibility is suggested of deriving usable forces from the motion of the weights from the rotational centre in the radial planes to the ends of the arms.
