Cool Inertia Machine




Rotor Heads,
I have been absent from this forum for last four years due to involvement in various projects (Evergreen Supertanker).
I have designed a inertia machine with efficiency in the 70% to 80% range and I think it may have vertical lift applications.
I have three drawings detailing the theory and I would like to post them on Rotor Heads.
Regards
Peter Jelf

Nice try Jiff, however your predicted vertical efficiency is far too high for application as a helicopter.

You need to be in the 12-16 % efficiency bracket for commercial operations, 1-2% to get a sniff at the military procurement process and much less for NASA.

I have some experience of this type of machine, as demonstrated by the initial propulsion unit in the link below.

The local shop keeper in our north east village some years ago rejoiced that he had invented an anti-gravity machine. He was about to spend his life savings because of the future riches coming his way, a villa in the Bahamas, Lambo in the drive etc etc. It was three angle grinders spaced apart and when turned on gave as he described "anti-gravity properties". Poor lad.

Jiff,

Have you built a working model of this inertia machine yet?

Cool

Jed A1,
No not yet but will probbably use three offset gears with a constant speed on the centre or one servo motor per reaction weight controlled by a PLC with a servo interface card ie SERCO's.

Does it utilize any of Telsa's theories?

ShyT,

I knew I had seen this propulsion system before. We do in fact have one in our garage,



Simply explained, the cars are put between axis A and Axis B and the resultant force A propels them around the fireball.
All for a couple of C cells!


Professor Eric Braithwaite is a name that comes to mind with this sort of idea!!

ShyTorque,

You've discovered the 'Free Launch' that IFMU has been waiting for.

When you get the bugs worked out of this can you make sure the pilots seat is comfortable.

5 hamsters - 0ft each. But at least no hamsters were harmed otherwise I'd be upset.

Cheers

511ft total with single biggest hit at 240ft!

Found it's better to hit the hamsters on the 'up' rather than 'down'.

Takes a bit of getting use to but better in the end.

By the way does anyone have a life I could borrow?
