Question

Asked by: vahid frogtin
Subject: so good!
Question: Hey Mr. Webmaster
When I stumbled over your webpage I couldn't blieve my eyes... that whole situation was sooooo funny! It's just because, when I was about 15 years old I came up with this propulsion device and figured I had to build it. The cool part is that all of my prototypes were almost identical with yours! the ones on your page could have been pictures of mine! Even the prototype number 6! identical! The interesting part is that until a few days ago I didn't even know other people had thought of it.
Anyways, what I wanted to say is... now that I'm older and wiser ;-) And wayyyy more deepened in physics and stuff there is something I know and do want to share here:
these devices create tremendous amounts of forces... (i have a hole in my bedroom wall to prove that) but whatever happens... whatever forces you have, they are ALWAYS internal momentums applied somewhere on the axis of rotation. In other words, the force never "leaves" the system and those moments, although really strong, can never be used for "propulsion".
nevertheless, I loved seeing that other people had the same thoughts :-)

take care...

 I find people like you very irksome, simply because you couldn't get the principle to work you go around telling others that it'll never work (where have i heard that before!?) when i was about 15 years old i came up with a solution to stop the massive stresses on aircraft tyres as they landed (big puffs of blue smoke) i related my theory to a person who i considered to be highly educated and trustworthy, he said it was impossible. 20 years later i hear of a man who has invented floating soap! he initially aquired his fame for coming up with a solution to stop the massive stresses on aircraft tyres on landing, ABOUT 15 YEARS AFTER I DID !!!!!!!!!!! So, in closing, just because you couldn't do it, don't think it can't be done!
