Abstract

This application is for specifying the basic physics behind a propulsion system based upon using rotational energy in place of kinetic energy to induce a new kind of orbit that resembles levitation. Evidence from an experiment is presented showing that the author was able to measure a small upwards force on a spinning gyroscope in a vacuum to justify the physics. A plan for building a flying craft using this mechanism is shown where the upwards force opposing gravity is from the centrifugal forces of rapidly rotating flywheels that rotate at speeds comparable to orbital velocity speeds. Rotational energy can be translated into kinetic energy by selectively exposing small portions of the spinning flywheels to the atmosphere, which allows for the craft to accelerate in any direction.
