IS THIS A REACTIONLESS DRIVE OR A PERPETUAL MOTION MACHINE?

it's not the same, tesla stove reminds me a lot of tsirigakis design which also
does not work. i think that this double rotation that results in irregular path
confuses the inertial frames.

in this spring design pull to the side is not because there needs to be pull to the side
but that is simply a way of imparting torque.

all inertial devices rely on centrifugal pull, that is all they necessarily have in common
there is infinity of ways this pull can be made asymmetrical, many of which
reduce the radius in a way that completely or almost completely cancels
out the desired forward pull. some don't and those work powerfully.

this however, is the most simplistic of all, just an almost bare basic principal

only thing that differs it from completely bare principle is the springs.

for that there would have to be some kind of prime mover at the axis
to accelerate/decelerate the two arms in counterrotation.

maybe i'm wrong about this spring scheme, but i doubt i am
i'm quite sure once countertorque is canceled, powerful linear
acceleration will result. we'll see if someone makes it

there have to be two arms in counterrotation for valid experiment

Isn't that what we're talking about?

[nix85]

interesting but not exactly, i doubt if there is any centrifugal
force on the pivot due to the free end bending

[nix85]

where did tesla say orbit, not rotation? i don't think he said that.
and no, weights are not same distance from center of rotation
as clearly shown in the video and screenshot below.

[nix85]

you are misinterpreting the patent. if he said orbit he meant arms
"orbiting" the center of rotation as clearly implied in the drawing.

again, masses are not same distance from the center of rotation
as evident in the screenshot. while one arm is exactly in the center
and therefore has 0 centrifugal force opposite one is max out and
has max force.

just like tsirigakis it appears it should work
direction of centrifugal force in both designs is
really all to one side, but it doesn't work

why, it's not clear. only thing that comes to mind
that this kind of irregular path somehow confuses
the inertial frames
