Extra massive inertial propulsion system.
This propulsion system that I noticed one time on Alfred Evert site back in 90' or slightly later was in fact only a 2D drawing with additional ball bearings on the top of each weight. As a latest version I will make an animation in blender of similar system with a little different constructional assumptions. The main change rely on the change of smal ball bearings on the top of each mass on big needle bearings inside the external rim. Previous version was similar to this scheme:
On above picture is shown several weights rotating on central rotor shaft with many rods, on each rod is moving one the weight. The picture is simplified. System has mechanical energy supply by external electric motor. The weights have linear bearings between rods and itself what is not shown on this picture.
I've added also electric motor which is delivering the mechanical power to the system. Another big change is making the weights as a doubled masses connected by a rods to obtain more geometrical and functional stiffness to avoid uncontrolled rotation of the masses on round rods, making it double with connection allows to avoid this problem and increasing the weight mass at once two times. The quantity of rotating masses is eight. The system have also linear bearings inside each of rotating mass in number of 2 for each pair of weights. This propulsion have additionally rounded corners as a finish of the weights what allows for a better sliding of the weights on the needle bearings.
It is recommended to apply some lead fill in the inside of the weights for make better parameters of acting forces, however it is not necessary because the weight of steel is enough for this solution. This system should to operate with a greater speed in comparison to the system with more ex-center placement of the point of rotation as is seen in previous scheme. I applied here less ex-center solution with more respect for greater speed of rotation and bigger rotating mass for less vibration reasons.
