One stick inertial propulsion trial.

 This experiment was performed several years ago. In assumption this experiment has to show the operation of one of the simplest inertial propulsion method ever existed. The external casing is made from mustard jar lid, so it is quite primitive casing (no CNC machining). The rotor is made from a piece of steel calibrated roller from desktop printer. The DC motor had too low RPM for good working of the device, the lid had to big diameter and the rod was to long for a proper operation. Nevertheless, the whole device was able to jumping, swinging on its sides and turning around, but never to go in one direction as it was assumed. Additionally the experimental device was bounded by attached wires which were delivering the current to the DC motor, so it can’t move freely. And now, I am going to explain how the device was to operate in assumption. The secret of operation was based on ex-centrally located point of rotation of the steel rod. This should sustain creation of unbalanced centrifugal force acting on the more extending part of the rod, while less centrifugal force should be created on shorter end of the rod on every turn on the rotor. However the rotor had too much friction and for that reason the weak DC motor was not able to propel it faster as it was assumed and for the aim to decrease vibration and noise. At the end the rotor separated from the motor shaft due to failure of montage.
