IS THIS A REACTIONLESS DRIVE OR A PERPETUAL MOTION MACHINE?

[nix85]

Of course there are. Point being, in Shipov device for example
clearly there is acceleration to one side but then he allows
masses to go beyond 180° and of course it curbs itself.
If he curbed the masses at the axis before they crossed
180° there would be no back reaction.

Thank you for considering my experiment, but the arrow in your drawing is backwards.  As the hinge opens, the pivot moves upwards. Then, the instant the hinge stops, the pivot moves back downwards an equal amount. Due to Conservation of Momentum, the mechanism itself will move however it has to for the masses to move in a straight line, rather than in a curved path. (In the absence of torque input).


So what will happen if the operation is motorized?


And, of course, there are other ways to use a hinge.

I was not referring to you but another guy who built my design, of which
i posted a photo few pages back, and my design is quite different from yours.

Springs can be utilized but it is advisable to avoid them cause they are not
needed.

There are better ways.

1) 0.1 kg.m/s = 0.1 kg.m/s. The last equality shows the validity of the law of conservation of linear momentum in this particular case.
2) 0.005 J > 0.002 J. The last inequality shows the invalidity of the law of conservation of mechanical energy in this particular case.
3) Modern (and even not so modern) technologies allow reducing of friction to a certain value/limit, beyond which the experimental error (due to friction) becomes negligible (less than 1 %).

Looking forward to your comments.
