Programmable Inertia Generators!

Programmable Inertia Generators:

By moving internal masses in reaction to accelerations induced by the user, the effective inertia of the device can be modified in order to render a prescribed inertia (including no inertia).

This simple experiment on defying gravity also cancels the inertia of the system naturally, similar to how the programmable inertia generators can modify or cancel the inertia.  Increasing the moment arm increases the torque, which then increases the acceleration of both weights.  However, the moment of inertia also increases which decelerates both weights.  The end result is a cancellation of torque and inertia, which maintains the system at a constant uniform velocity.  The system lifts the heavier weight as if it had no mass and no inertia via Newton's first law.

The system lifts the heavier weight as if it had no mass and no inertia via Newton's first law.

Then there should be no tension in the string.

But of course there is.

I suggest you review your Beer & Johnston before making any more silly claims.

This is absolutely absurd to promote such B.S. as this.  The tension in the string remains unchanged and uniform between both objects throughout it's motion and is maintained by the uniform motion of both objects.  Both objects are linked and moving together with the same uniform speed, thus there is no change in the tension of the rope, relative to the tension before they had movement.  I can't believe you would post the ridiculous idea that one object can lift another object that is connected to it by a string without there being any tension in the string itself.  Now, I already know what your next replies will be, so go ahead and put it out there if you feel you can successfully defend it.

TK,

Also, an object only resists it's motion when there is a change in it's velocity.  If there is no change in the objects velocity, then this object isn't resisting it's own motion, thus there is no inertia.  I have already shown how the torque and inertia are cancelled in the system due to conservation of momentum and the change in the length of the moment arm as the lighter weight moves outwards from the center of rotation, thus it's velocity remains constant and uniform with no inertia and moves as if it had no mass.  You need to prove this wrong in order for you to be correct.  Now, are you going to dance around this with ridiculous assertions as you normally do, or are you going to deal with it head on?

Do you agree that if the inertia of an object is zero, that it requires no force to accelerate that object in any direction?  If you do agree, kindly explain how your experiment demonstrates such acceleration on the test object.
