Abstract

Disclosed herein are two separate processes that do not require a propellant and do not produce an equal and opposite reaction against any external form of matter in the Local Inertial Reference Frame and do not violate Newton'"'"'s Laws in the Universal Reference Frame. The first process produces horizontal motion, relies on the earth'"'"'s gravitational field as an external force, and has been successfully tested. The second process produces vertical motion and relies only on the aether. It has been successfully tested considering the effect of the earth'"'"'s gravity. Due to the law of conservation of angular momentum, the first process is considered by some to not be possible, but with the proper use of an external field (for example, gravity) and the phenomenon of precession, it is clearly possible. A clear distinction is made between a simple rotor and a gyroscope which is a far more complex device.

Claims

1. A device using precession to move an object back and forth or up and down in a circular arc from approximately −

30 degrees to approximately +60 degrees above the horizontal in a spiral path on a spherical surface comprising;

two identical moving elements, each 180 degrees apart mechanically, each rotating simultaneously about two separate orthogonal axes having a common pivot point.

2. The device of claim 1 wherein each of two said moving elements includes a circular rotor with greater than approximately 95 percent of its rotational angular momentum substantially in its periphery.

3. The device of claim 2 wherein each said moving element also includes an electrical drive means to spin said circular rotor, said electrical drive means being concentric with said circular rotor.

4. The device of claim 1 which includes a reset means to move each said moving element from approximately +30 degrees to approximately −

30 degrees below the horizontal.

5. The device of claim 3 wherein both said moving elements are attached to a vertical central column which is concentric with said common pivot point for both said circular rotors.

6. The device of claim 5 wherein each of the two said moving elements includes an axle to position the axes of each said electrical drive means to be coincident with said common pivot point within said central column.

7. The device of claim 5 wherein said central column connects said reset mechanisms to said axles.

8. The device of claim 7 wherein a second electrical drive means provides a forcing torque to said central column through a pair of gears with one of said gears to be concentric with and attached to said central column.

9. The device of claim 8 wherein both said circular rotors of said moving elements move in a circular arc from approximately −

30 degrees to approximately +60 degrees above the horizontal in an arc about said common pivot point at the center of said central column due to the forcing torque provided by said second electrical drive means.

10. The device of claim 9 wherein said central column may have multiple decks to provide increased “

horsepower” and

more uniform motion.

11. The device of claim 10 wherein a means for attachment of said central column to a housing is resilient such that it smoothes out velocity variations of said housing caused by said precess and reset cycles.

12. The device of claim 2 wherein each said rotor has a small diameter equal to the diameter of said axle so that said axle and said rotor are one and the same, the width of said rotor being equal to the length of said axle, said rotor being termed the Rolling Pin Rotor.

13. The device of claim 2 wherein each said moving element uses said rolling pin rotors fabricated using carbon nano-tubes with ratios of length to radius substantially close to 100 to 1, resulting in the second power of the ratio approaching 10,000., said velocity being proportional to said second power of said ratio.

14. The device of claim 8 wherein said forcing torque is not constant but rather a torque that increases as a function of time so as to produce constant acceleration of said housing during each cycle, whereas a constant forcing torque produces only a constant velocity.

15. The device of claim 4 wherein some or all elements are replaced by their electronic analogs such that the resulting said device will be essentially a totally solid state device producing up and down Motion by Charge Transfer (MCT).

16. The device of claim 4 wherein said reset means produces a waveform that results in a constant said housing velocity as said rotor is reset from said upper limit to said lower limit.
