Propulsion by means of the Free Lunch Scenario |
| Question: |
Good evening shed dwellers,
Totally contrary to accepted principles and as a result of an original discussion circa 1982 at the Imperial College London, with Professor Eric Laithwaite it was mutually agreed that a large, single, vertical non Newtonian pulse could be generated by utilising the ability of a gyroscope(s) to climb vertically to its position of least action which it can accommodate with no increase in input energy.
This basic idea became known as the “Free Lunch Scenario”
The findings below were discovered as a result of extensive testing of my second machine around 1984
This device was explained in recent months on the” APEC Alternative Propulsion Conference
This would be a great starting point for future development.
FREE LUNCH SCENARIO
However from the above testing came my version of the “Free Lunch Scenario”
1 The device is rotated at a constant speed throughout this test.
2 Consider a system such as previously described and let the gyroscopes elevate themselves to their highest position.
From experiment we know that there is no reaction during this motion.
3 Mechanically arrange to hold the gyroscopes in this elevated position.
,
4 Slow the gyroscope rotation speed right down to a near stop.
.
5 Release the gyroscopes from their elevated position and allow them to descend freely.
A considerable vertical pulse will be generated during this cycle.
The angular momentum which was previously removed from the system will return in total when the rotation of the gyroscopes is halted.
I do realise that this device would be space bound.
I also admit the gyroscopic system will be slow to recover but if made large enough and designed to include numerous pairs of gyroscopes, it could create a much cheaper, much safer, and controllable alternative to rocket travel.

PS I have built such a device but have never felt the need to demonstrate it, though photographs are available if I can find them

Sandy |
