| Question: |
In regards to the J
If I put an Up force x which can hold 10 lbs above the ground,
and then apply that same force x to 5 lbs,
the 5 lbs accelerates.
acceleration of an object is then a effect of an accelerating source of force x.
As the propulsion device will carry the flywheel with it,
it is then accelerating the source of force with it,
Propulsion. Yes? |

| | | Hi Dave,
I have another example. If you tie a little bucket to the hub of the gyro that is precessing and began poring five pounds of tiny ball bearings into the bucket the gyro will continually accelerate. But, once you stop pouring at any time the gyro will only maintain the last velocity reached. But, you are right. By dropping the total of five bounds all at once you will get a very short-lived instant of acceleration. A constant acceleration would seem more useful to me and even causing this condition alone shouldn’t cause linear motion. What you said however, is a good mechanical understanding that is a beginning, needing a middle and then an ending as to ‘how’ to make it all work in order to get what you want. If you like I can offer you ways to study that I think will give you more evidence of how things work the way they do.
Glenn H.,
