IS THIS A REACTIONLESS DRIVE OR A PERPETUAL MOTION MACHINE?

Hi there,
1) We discussed in our team the possibility of making a computer simulation/animation of this rotation principle. The latter however is much more sophisticated and much more difficult for a possible computer simulation (if compared to the zigzags).
2) But we must not give up, I guess. Some time ago we came upon some companies whose declarations were that they could realize a computer simulation of any real mechanical process. So may be it's worth to think over the possibility of engaging such a company for a possible realization of a computer simulation/animation of the rotational principle. What is your opinion?

I already linked to animation as good as animation can be, perfect demonstration of the basic principle.

There's no need for animations, just understanding that when you swing your arms in front of you, you are accelerated forward without reaction.

OK, I agree. My personal opinion is that this machine is workable. But let us wait for some other team's members of ours to make some calculations. We'll be in touch.
Regards,
George

Could we install the device on a toy-boat of length of, let's say, 50 cm? To see what would happen? (Only giving small ideas.)

Surely, you are up against Newton's 3rd Law.
