inertial propulsion with gyroscope

[shadowbones]

You're right, I should have written "thrust implies a sustained acceleration (a sustained force)".  Imagine Woopy's rowing device on an air table; the device would move to the right, let's say, then stop. even though there was essentially no friction. Then with the next cycle it will move again to the right, then stop. There is positive acceleration at the beginning of each cycle, counterbalanced by a negative acceleration at the end of each cycle, with no acceleration in between cycles. Maybe engineering can get around this, I don't know at this point.

According to the 2nd law, any acceleration implies force.
In this case, thrust in one direction exceeds thrust in another, this is why it eventually moves in the direction of a higher thrust.

Just some news.

It is interesting that the turning of the arm carrying the spinning gyroscope (in the horizontal position) does not impart a back and forth movement of the little wagon. But once the gyroscope becomes dead weight (because the spinning stopped) the rest turning movement of the arm does well impart some back and forth movement.

In the last weeks I had almost no time to continue with my gyroscope experiments and that will stay like this for while.

Hi all
Sommer is almost past
So back to shop for some new discovery
