Inertia centrifugal propulsion attempt.

Today I present a type of drive that uses inertial forces and centrifugal forces. The idea is not new and from time to time you can come across such solutions on the Internet. This drive consists of a main mass, a guide shaft, a shaft mount and nine ball rolling bearings including two linear bearings, an outer rim and a 230V DC motor. The outer rim is connected to the shaft mount in such a way as to allow the internal components to move in one plane, while providing support for the entire rotor, which is embedded in the rim through ball bearings. The main mass has five bearings, two on each side, in addition, the central guide shaft has a pivot point in its upper part equipped with a ball bearing, which is mounted in the hole in the main mass with its outer shell. The guide shaft is constructed of two bars joined at one end through a shaft passing through the center of the bearing mounted in the main mass. Linear bearings are mounted in the guide shaft mount in the amount of two pieces in the holes in this mount and rotate together with this mounting, providing an essential sliding element for the guide shaft. Of course, this system will be connected to the same systems with the opposite direction of rotation of the rotor. The system is scalable and can be built at any scale without losing its driving qualities. However, the functionality of such devices may be compromised due to eccentricity, which can cause vibrations. Similar solutions were presented by inventor Steven Hampton in the eighties, and the videos are still available today on his YouTube channel.

Inertial propulsion with conical weights.

Roy Thornson has invented inertial propulsion with two weights rotating on inner static gears. Those weights were mounted on the same gear in dimension and the gear with the weights were rotating on the circumference of the static gears, which were inside. In some analyses there was indicated that Thornson drive is working correctly and there were experiments with this drive based on mounting a propulsion unit on a bout in swimming pool. Analyses and experiments have clearly indicated that propulsions are effective. I've decided to visualize the principle of working of this propulsion and I have made some animations on 3D software. This simple principle of operation is based on applying synchronization of rotating gears in this way that the weight attached to one gear is hidden on bottom side and is simultaneously extending toward the outside on top part of the device. Such a behavior of mechanism is based on proper application of gears and creating the proper distance between main shaft and dimension of the caring rotor, thus the weight can pass inside two free spaces in this rotor rotating on its own axis of rotation. The weight is mounted on roller or ball bearings also the main shaft is mounted on the bearings. Additionally in the static gear there is a hole through entire thickness of external casing making available of passing the part of the main shaft from the inside to the external ball bearings holder. The static gear is attached to external rim so it can't rotate. If the system would be not balanced it can generate a lot of vibration due to not balanced centrifugal force at one side of of the device, so the masses are placed symmetrically in number of four and additionally are paired with counter rotating second rotor. The whole system is powered by two electric motors but it can be also powered by one motor with gear system to decrease the total mass of the system. The side centrifugal forces will be cancelled by self-balancing of the system due to system is paired.
