Research objective
Idea
is to get unidirectional propulsion force without reactive mass outflow.
In similar projects authors are developing design for solid state moving
mass. It is proposed to use water or other liquid as mass in such sort
system. Author of the proposal already tested this
idea in solid state version of the asymmetrical motion of mass. The work
was based on theory and experiments produced by Academician Albert Veinik
in 1970-1980.
Work that should be performed
by Proposer
In four months
period it should be designed the propulsion system according to proposed
method. First prototype can be based on standard water pump powered from
external 220VAC source. Estimated propulsion force is about 2 Kg. Developed
prototype should be based on special centrifugal water pump and powered
by special onboard power source to get 100 Kg propulsion force.
Methodology and technical approach
Centrifugal
force is produced in radial direction and it can be used to create linear
propulsion if the trajectory of mass is asymmetrical. It is original Frolov's
method to use water in closed system.
Anticipated difficulties and
recommended solutions
Main factor
to increase the propulsion force is velocity of moving mass in curved part
of the trajectory. So, inner surface of the body should be produced by
means high quality equipment for minimum friction that is important for
all hydrodynamics systems.
Expected end-products
Propulsion
unit can be used for aerospace systems and for cars as direct drive.

Preliminary calculations
It is necessary to compose 4 or 6 elements to compensate
rotation of the system. Example of calculation: Velocity of water
in curved part of the trajectory is V=10 (m/sec) and R=0.5 (m). Let's take
into account only part of mass m=0.1 (Kg) that is placed in central part.
In general it is necessary to integrate all forces along all surface. Formula
is F=ma, acceleration a=100/0.5=200(m/secExp2), so F=0.1x200=20 (Newton)
that is about 2 Kg force only for small part of common moving mass of water.
Let's note: acceleration is the function of velocity
in square degree, so it is necessary to increase the velocity and for this
case the mass can be small value. In limit of this idea we'll get closed
aerodynamical system instead of this hydrodynamic system, for example,
vapor of heavy liquid can be used as moving mass. If its velocity V=100
(m/sec), the acceleration for the same mass m=0.1 (Kg) is a=20,000 (m/secExp2)
and force F=2,000 N, i.e. this system can lift weight about 200 Kg.
The physical nature of this force is inner asymmetrical pressure that is
produced by centrifugal method. Sure, Newton Law is working in this case
but it is necessary to take into account four-dimensional system by Minkowsky.
There is author's theory that disclose notion of four-dimensional reaction.
