No Greg,
I actually know the thing will work,

And by what method do you purport to "know" this?
Let's see your mathematical model and calculations.

You are the one that is all superior with math and calculations.
So why don't you show me why it would violate conservation
of momentum at all instead of just "saying" it will like you did.
You said it would not work first.
So prove it.
:)

It's practically by definition..

Before the pulse momentum equals zero.

After the pulse (you say) the whole system is moving therefore it has
gained momentum.

Therefore momentum not conserved.

Well,
Then how does a rocket work?
Before pulse momentum equals zero,
etc.
But it moves.

It permanently ejects mass (spent fuel) which has momentum
in the opposite direction of the rocket's motion. The sum
of the spent fuel's momentum and that of the rocket is a
constant.

I think you are missing a factor about both the rocket and
the design given.

No, he's got it right. If you don't throw something
overboard the momentum of the device cannot change.
