Question

Asked by: Nathaniel Gardner
Subject: Gyroscope Propulsion System
Question: Okay, Here is another complicated question. Imagine a co-ordinate plane with 3 axis the X horizontal, the Y Vertical, and the Z 3D axis. Now you have a gyroscope spinning clockwise(A) with the central disk along
f(x) = 0 and the Z axis. Now you have a gyroscope spinning clockwise (B) set at a 45 degree angle above A and another spinning at 45 degrees below A (C). The Central disks would look like this on the coordinate plane:

it's not perfect, but you understand the point. Also, you would have gyroscopes (D and E) spinning clockwise at 45 degree angles along the Z axis so that the whole system would look like this:

Would the movement of the entire system be --> that direction IF a force (such as magnetism) was applied to B, C, D, and E which pulled them toward the negative X axis? Tell me what you think! If you are confused, lol...I'll have to draw you a picture and send it to you. But the whole system looks like the Carbon Tetrafluoride Molecule.
