A technology blog in the space industry, focusing primarily on new forms of space propulsion and addressing all issues related to their market introduction. The patent mine is affiliated with the Inertial Propulsion Research Laboratory, the author's own laboratory, where he researches the possibilities of new magnetic and inertial propulsion systems independently and using his own financial resources.
Manipulation of inertial forces can provide in technology control of inertial properties of material objects. If this civilization had a control of inertia than fast transport could be achieved even if we don't achieve a control of gravity forces. First of all if we had a control of inertia we could propel objects without internal resistance of inertia what could mean that we can give an object enormous great velocity with very low energy. Inertia is most unexplained force with which we have contact in common life but we don't understand it. The same we could say about gravity but harnessing inertia can have even more impact in out transportation technology than harnessing gravity. Inertia is closely connected with mass of an object in motion and inertial forces can be applied both as inertial propulsion and inertia less propulsion. We know how to obtain the mechanisms of inertial propulsion and thus how to generate inertial forces but nobody know how to control inertial forces in a simply way not simply to generate it. For propulsion we need only mass in circular motion that is generating centrifugal force or other inertial reaction. We can even simulate gravity by use of centrifugal force but it have not such a importance as if we have control over the inertia origin because this is much harder to obtain this by use of technological means.
We don't know why materia have inertial properties and whether this is implicating from its subatomic structure. The vacuum properties are describing inertia properties. However those properties are for sure connected with materia properties. One can't understand inertia on classical relativity base or standard model rules, because those systems don't predict place for explaining inertia at all. This topic seems to be omitted in whole shape of standard physics however it has key meaning for our civilization if it wants to begin deep outer space exploration. The system of propulsion that is harnessing inertial forces canceling would be need no fuel for work and for propulsion would be needed only small forces like Lorentz force or electromagnetic pressure force because the mass and weight would be canceled by the point where they are connected with each other. Gravity will be push away outside the system so vehicles would be invisible for gravity.
This inertial propulsion method was shown already on my blog. I am presenting it again because of my conviction of high potential of this propulsion method as a inertial drive system. Once the system is powered by electric motor and deck fuel-less source of electric energy it has potential to deep space exploration depending only from mechanical durability of parts from which the system is made. I didn't make any calculations about this method but the geometry of the device is indicating that the single weight is more massive than in eight-roller propulsion type, additionally having conical shape suitable for generate more thrust from one weight. The weak side of the device is application of ball bearings as power transmission elements on which is paid quite big pressure coming from the centrifugal force multiplied by weight of each mass, so they can be used down very quickly. The solution is application of strong permanent magnets both in external rim and on the tops of each conical mass. The friction will be canceled in such a situation, but the power of the device would be limited to the point where centrifugal force will be greater than magnetic repulsion force. Nevertheless, nowadays neodymium magnets are very strong magnets, so we can admit that the system will be producing sufficient force for lift loads and the crew. You can notice that this system has denser located masses on the bottom than on the top. If the system had the same density in every direction than no difference in centrifugal force distribution will be generated. Thanks the location side by side on the bottom the system can produce low centrifugal force in the vector complying with gravity vector, because the centers of the masses are passing closer from the main center of rotation almost attaching to central shaft from one smaller end aimed to the center. Main shaft is placed on bigger ball bearings and it is placed not centrally with relation to vertical diameter length of the device, slightly closer to the lowest point of the device. The weights/masses are made from two symmetric pieces in which there are made machining works like drilled holes for linear bearings and secondary shafts which are parts of the central rotor. Also drilled wholes for two screws and nuts conjoining in one piece both halves The system of caring the masses is made from eight smooth steel caring rollers. The system in this shape can be not balanced enough due to it can have an ability to turning around caring steel rollers because they are round, however two applied ball bearings can stabilize each of the masses during the work. Of course there is a possibility to apply two caring rollers in each masses, so system would be stiffer. Also one could apply multi-spline shafts and multi-spline sleeves, working only on lubrication then only a pair of those parts will be required for sufficient caring of the weights. Application of multi-spline shafts and sleeves would prevent from the possibility to revolving on main axis of the working weights. However, centrifugal force will be trying to displace all lubrication to the circumference of the device thus there must be applied some kind of circulation of the lubrication to the inside of the device so it would be used again to prevent leaving the shafts and sleeves dry.
Cuff's inertial propulsion is an eight weights propulsion system and geometry is similar to my eight roller propulsion system which was presented already earlier on this blog with the difference generally based on the system of caring the weights on the internal edge of external rim.
Cuff has designed the eight ball bearings conjoined with eight weights by extending rods with sliding sleeves. I have solved the system slightly different where ball bearings were used on each side of the rollers and I have used the telescopic caring system for rollers.
From my calculations is implicating that system is really working producing useful force. My calculations were made with assumption of 500 rpm rotational speed and it is highly recommended to increase this speed so the result force can be stronger. My calculations didn't predict quantity of rollers and they were made for only two oppositely located rollers moving with different speed, what was implicated from the geometry of the device. In Cuff's device system is consisting of extending ball bearings. They have less mass that is located maximally outside the center of rotation, so result force should be weaker than in my concept, but generally system is much simpler and easier to made than my solution. On the picture I presented on top of this post I assume that application of linear bearings will be not possible so I apply the sliding sleeves and all will be working only on lubrication, because assumed system is so small. It should be suitable to fit to Proxxon MF-70 milling machine table KT-70. Presented here Cuff's system of propulsion is not only solution of that kind although only very few device was made in reality as a working prototype.
A remake of an old concept. Whether it is working I don't know until now. I don't know whether adding a spring will be acting well here. The question is if centrifugal force will be working like that in this case, however this concept is quite simple in comparison to my other concepts where I was experimenting with heavy rollers and ex-center location of external rims related to internal location of rotors. The only complicated thing here is montage of ball bearings which are used here for decreasing the friction on shafts instead of linear bearings. This system if it would be working at all, needs to be paired by the same counterrotating set. In assumption the blue and green weights had to pull by their mass the weight of entire device from the inside toward the top thanks to the inclination of shafts using centrifugal forces, generating lift. The power from one electric motor is not enough for this solution because the rotor of the device will be transmitting its rotational momentum to the outside. I have also tried to apply permanent magnets instead of applying springs I have even constructed very primitive device with powering from an electric driller, but the device was so not precisely prepared that it wasn't working well enough to show any visible result.
The weights are located on ball bearings placed on each shaft perpendicularly in such way to obtain better friction conditions and they have drilled holes on entire length in which shafts can passing. There is certain distance between them and the shaft because the ball bearings are tightly fitting on certain distance from the shafts. The ball bearings are around the shafts placed perpendicularly to their surfaces measured at length and can sliding along them always keeping the weights in certain distance from those shafts. The limiters are on each end of shaft preserving the weights from escape outside the system if the centrifugal force would be too strong and the spring would straighten too much.
This propulsion attempt is probably too simple in its assumption to work correctly. This concept is made on my early tries in aim of find base of inertial propulsion and it was created in my early stage of inertial propulsion interest.
This system seems to be not properly shown in the web. So, I post it again in updated version which is inspired by my latest works and data from the Inernet, YT channels that I have already seen. If this system is working correctly, it would need some attention. This animation is not in high performance quality, I am still learning blender, so it is like it is.
When the spring is compressed in upper direction it is pushing on upper collar. The balls are trying to take most distanced position from the center of rotation, so bottom collar is pushing on the spring by application of centrifugal force. This system is paired and in assumption is to be powered by two electric motors with connection to the plug. Bottom ropes are made from steel they are loose and upper are stiff and also are made from steel. The upper ropes-rods have pivot point at the top. Balls are made from steel. They are five in number. This system is predicted to work with high RPM.
Bottom collar can be made from permanent magnet and the second bottom collar pushing on this collar can be made from also permanent magnets, so when they would be polarized on repulsion the problem of friction would be solved.
The system will be probably working only on lubrication.
This system is simulating antigravity, but not harnessing gravity only inertia and centrifugal force for generate lift.
Two AC electric motors are powering the system with rotating weights in shape of steel spheres. As the bottom permanent neodymium magnet collar is pushing on the second bottom collar also made from neodymium permanent magnet by use of centrifugal force, the spring is being compressed by the second magnet collar, this spring is pushing on top collar at the highest point of the entire system. The spring is properly stiff for giving away its mechanical energy and in my assumption converse it on lift acting on entire set. The weights are connected with bottom collars by a steel loose rope, which will be straighten during the rotation, and the upper rods are stiff. When the system starts to rotate the weights will be trying to take most distanced position to the center of rotation this will cause the pulling bottom collar in up direction, simultaneously they are guided by upper rods, which should be made from steel and have proper thickness. The whole system is powered from external source of power such as electric grid. The weights will be lifted by centrifugal force and also will be getting more distanced from the center of rotation of central axis.
Here is other kind of this propulsion with springs and chains, no stiff upper rods.
No permanent magnets are required, no second upper sliding or additional ball bearing at the bottom is needed.
This solution is predicted to simulate negative gravity based on harnessing inertial forces. The negative gravity would not be generated in form of field as we can imagine right now because it is a product of rotation of heavy weights on which the centrifugal force is acting. The negative gravity will be appearing like inertial mechanic force acting in the center of device on central axis in form of pressure on centrally located collar. The force coming from centrifugal force by use of rotation acting on the spring is in this case not compensated. Centrifugal force will be trying to displace the bottom collar toward the top of the device by use of mechanic forces coming from rotation of the weights, collar is the point where the chains are attached at the bottom (chains are those arms on which are main masses attached in green color). This collar has an ability to move on central axis because it has eight ball bearings placed in proper holes in sliding part underneath this collar. The full system has only one axis of rotation in each generator. During the spring is compressed in upper direction it is encountering on its way the obstacle in form of second collar made on the same central axis. The axis is rounded partially but not completely allowing the bearings in sliding system to stay on their positions. When the central spring is making push on the obstacle it will be pushing on this obstacle by use of its upper edge, and the more it is compressed the more force will be generated in form of pressure on the obstacle. The second upper part of the rotor on which the weights are attached from the top side of the device has not an ability to move, so in assumption the result force will be trying to push the bottom collar by pull of the rotating masses toward the outside of the device by centrifugal force. This as I had said will provide the lift of bottom collar what with application of the spring should in assumption generate the lift of entire system, this is the only move the system will make besides main rotation and compression of the spring. System is consisting of three such a rotor, each have one AC electric motor with electronic speed control. I will try this solution, so I could say clearly if it is working or not. This is not safe device in operation because the rotors should rotate with at least 3000 rpm.
I want to add some information about my prediction according three independent ball inertial system driven magnetically. The simplicity of this system is based on simultaneous magnetic attraction between balls and centrifugal force acting in this system creating by the same magnetic interaction. Electromagnets will be creating circular rotating magnetic field at the bottom of each propulsion unit in number of three. Electromagnets will be accelerating the balls, and the balls will be climbing by application of centrifugal force upon external casing from the inside inclined slightly to the up aimed main axis. The two-directional interaction between balls and the electromagnets would be responsible for linear approximate thrust which should occur during the rotation because of centrifugal force acting.
The vibrations coming from every single unit will be canceled by joined acting of three generators. The inclination of the walls - external casing should be chosen carefully and with proper calculation. The generators should be closed at the upper part not allowing to escape the balls outside the walls. The entire system should have an electronic control allowing for continuous increasing the speed of rotation of the balls, thus the system can work on equilibrium point all the time.
An idea of rotor technology that I predict to use in my inventions. The rotating weights have one or two ball bearings on each end sliding on internal surface of external rim helping to avoid friction. They are carried by rods which are passing through them along and inside in drilled holes for this aim, which are rectangle in cross section. Central rotor has eight arms, and they are passing through the center of each weight in drilled holes for this aim, they have bearings too and this is a specific system of bearings which here is not visible. This system is predicted and optimized to convert centrifugal force during the rotation of the rotor, to linear up aimed force for overcome gravity acting on entire system - hypothetical vehicle, which will be consisting of several such an inertial propulsion system. This system is simulating antigravity, but it is not antigravity propelled. This system is more plausible because it is oriented for obtaining maximal centrifugal force coming from the specific shape of each weight (most of the mass is located on the ends of the weights maximally far from the center of rotation so it is located in the right place for obtaining maximal centrifugal force during the rotation of the system). In case of the roller-based system a part of mass is located near of the center of rotation of the generator, so the system with conical weights is probably better solution if someone is willing to obtain the inertial propulsion force from rotation of the weights. In the case of conical weights rotor, in lower part of the device, the weights are near each other, and they are close to center of rotation, so centrifugal force should be weaker than in upper hemisphere of rotation where they are on far extension. I need bigger CNC milling machine for making a right scaled prototype because this milling machine that I have is allowing me right now for making only small parts and is not suitable for machining of durable steel. I need to rebuild my workshop for more complex goals. I will try to build a drone consisting of three such generators with additional control of electronic equipment and electric motors as a main source of mechanical force.
At the below animation that I made in blender 4.1 for better understanding what is going on here if we consider inertial and centrifugal forces, I am presenting movement of weights during the rotation of the system of propulsion. If somebody have proper software one can calculate and simulate physical relationships and tendencies in such a system. This system is on maximal usable extension in upper direction, so it can block itself if the bearings will be not properly applicated. The extension should be not so big for smoother working of the device. The device is almost optimal but naturally could be a little improved if somebody has more data and is able to calculate the proper dimension and relationships.
