Re: Propellantless propulsion fun 2 (particle accelerators are wonderful)

Here is a much better use for circular particle accelerators

This time we will make an object move in space
"again" without propellant leaving the vehicle at all.

The device is in orbit.

This device is made of 2 mini circular particle accelerators,
and a container that of course has solar panels and such
to gather energy from the sun for it's power source.

The mini circular accelerators are placed like 2 gears
would be configured to spin at the same rate.

When you turn on the devices at the same time, the inertial force
will cause each device to want to spin, but being connected and
opposing the spin, they will actually move in the direction that the
push of the particle is coming from since both inertial forces will
be coming from that direction.

I also need to add that you can not "push" on the particles when
they are on the opposite sides of the force point of the circle
or the motion will of course not occur.
You merely let them flow by the outer points and only push when
they are in the correct position for the forward motion you want.

Propellantless propulsion fun 3... coming soon.
