Question

Asked by: Dan Harrison
Subject: Plans
Question: I would construct a unit if there are working blueprints in existence.
My attempts at producing any sort of thrust with demo units have been unsucessful.
I have complete machining and welding facilities.

 Dear Dan!With key-words "Stellarotor",then "Tractive pendulum",you can find the first line(drawing) of an side-axis thruster.If you are interested...All the Bests!/Alex

 Dan,
Would you be interested in a collaborative effort with 4 to 6 other co inventors?
Thank you, Luis

 Hi, Dan.

I've experimented, theorised, and built machines for around 40 years, and have been successful in generating thrust with more than a half dozen different approaches.

I've open-sourced some of these into the Public Domain.

If you want to build something which works, try one of these. If you need better plans, or more info, let me know.

P.S.: A couple of things are missing from the airborne thruster picture: bounce springs on the bottom, and an initial back rest.

 I need an estimate for the following:

I have built a model of my prototype (see the photo in http://www.inter-corporate.com/forums/inertialpropulsion.engineering.html) which functions to visually demonstrate the operation of this principle; but I want to have an actual prototype built, to test the principle in the due course of events. It shall preferably be design-engineered to the following specifications:

1. The rotational assembly should be able to turn safely at speeds up to 1600 rpm.
2. The spring tension and solenoid mass should both be adjustable.
3. The motor may be mounted in any manner, such that there is a spragg clutch or roller ramp clutch in the drive train between the motor axle and the rotational assembly axle. The clutch allows the rotational assembly to move faster than the motor is causing it to turn; which results from the conservation of angular momentum, when the mass is pushed inward.
4. This prototype does not need to prove any of my theories, it just needs to be able to perform the following function: a. The spring of the rotational assembly should be able to quickly (within 45 degrees motion) push the solenoid (mass) inward against centrifugal (inertial) force at 450 to 650 rpm. b. The solenoid (mass) of the rotational assembly should be able to quickly (within 45 degrees motion) compress the spring against centripetal force at 450 to 550 rpm. c. The friction against the rotational assembly (including air resistance) needs to be low enough that the rotational assembly can accellerate from 475 to 525 rpm (due to conservation of momentum) when the mass is pushed inward by spring pressure. d. The power to the solenoid must be variable, with an on/off switch. e. The solenoid must have an adjustable distance of radial travel. f. The solenoid mass needs to be large relative to the rest of the rotational assembly. g. There must be a tachometer switch, locked at a minimum of 350 rpm in line supply to solenoid. h. There needs to be an on/off switch that removes residual power, so that shut-down is faster. i. The orbital radius must be between .0700 to .0675 meters.
