M Drive reactionless drive invented by me

[M Drive Inventor]

Sorry about the delay, although I guess I should be apologizing to myself since I'm only hurting myself.

Anyway, the new version has had a lot of problems which have taken time to iron out. It's more or less up and running now though, just need to fix one last thing.

I have everything needed for the 'glass experiment', which hopefully will convince people it's the actual gyros pulling the machine forward and not the bearings/wheels pushing it forward somehow. I have access to a 'machinist level'. Google translate says they're called "spirit-level"? Anyway, it's one of these:

...just extremely precise.

I'd also like to thank TinselKoala for suggesting that experiment. If it works as intended and actually convinces people, I'll be very grateful.

Edit: I wanted to ask you guys. If I wanted to put my machine on ice, what kind of 'feet' would be preferable for the M Drive? I'd have to replace the wheels with something, but what? Ice cubes seem like they might break. I could probably find 2 pairs of ice skates and modify them. Or would you prefer some kind of concave metal plate at every corner of the machine?

Hi M,
  I think ice would have too much friction... It also tends to stick to things - by freezing to them.

It probably has to be ball bearings...(?)

I would like to suggest a simple experiment (which taught me a lot when I tried a "reactionless drive"):

- your machine has a certain direction in which it moves forward, lets call it direction D or forward

- put a stop (e.g. a plank fastened to the floor) which absolutely prohibits any movement in the opposite direction of D (backwards), this restriction has to be solid and no gap between the machine and the plank, one could say the machine rests against this plank before being switched on

- switch the machine on and you will see how it shoots away in direction D (forward) because it pushed itself away from the plank (which proves that it wanted to go a "bit backwards"), the "shooting away" is a large first movement (a large initial step in direction D) which is then reduced to a slower forward movement

Discussion of this experiment:

- without the plank one does not see this "backward movement" which is stopped after a short distance (maybe only some millimetres) by the tiny friction which makes the thing work

- the plank represents "infinite friction in the opposite direction of D", without the plank one has "tiny friction in opposite direction of D"

- the plank causes a "large initial step forward" followed by the "usual steps forward"

- make sure that the plank holds the machine near its centre of mass (the machine should not be able to lean a bit or to bend a bit backwards over the plank, not even a few millimetres or degrees away from the vertical)

- the plank could be a wall which prohibits any backward movement of the machine (again, you probably need some piece of wood at the wall against which the machine abates near its centre of mass)

Just posted a new video. It's nothing fancy, nor do I consider it "proof" of gyroscopic propulsion, just evidence.

The glass experiment is on it's way, and not forgotten.

I saw your video and can tell that your contraption would do great with this test

Do this very simple test, it will open your eyes and your mind. Try to explain why it behaves like it behaves when doing the simple test I propose. It only costs you a few minutes. You can put a log between your moving wagon and a cross-tie of your rails to block backwards movement, and see what happens. Do not fasten your wagon to a cross-tie, it should only "lean" against a stop which prohibits backward movement.

It is exactly the little backwards movement (clearly visible in the video) which confirms my own experience with such devices.
