Abstract:
Propulsion is achieved without expelling matter by a non-inertial subsystem to generate substantial internal Coriolis recoil forces that supply propulsion. A subsystem discretely injects mass (fluids) radially into a non-inertial system having spinning radially-oriented fins mounted on a thin disc. The mass (fluid) is input at the circumference of the spinning system by radially injecting the fluid at high velocity onto one fin at a time at the outer end thereof. The mass centrifugally slows as it travels toward the axis and leaves the system at a very low velocity near the axis of rotation. The resultant integrated non-linear Coriolis reaction or recoil is constrained to acting through the axis of rotation of the spinning vanes by keeping the rotation rate constant. The net integrated reactive force acting on the axis of rotation of the subsystem produces a propulsive force. The injected and retarded fluids are captured near the rotation axis and recirculated to the input injectors. By conserving the reaction mass, the closed propulsion system depends only on the availability of power from a source.

Claim (Index 4):
A device for converting torque into a non-inertial propulsion force while conserving propellant mass, the device comprising:\n a power source that generates torque; an assembly, comprising:\n a shaft, adapted at a first end to receive torque from the power source; \n a plurality of finned discs, each having a planar base with a plurality of fins that extend from a central opening of the disc to an outer circumference thereof; and \n complementary means, along the shaft and at the central opening of each of the plurality of finned discs, for coupling the plurality of finned discs for co-rotation on the shaft; and \n an array of fluid injector nozzles, arranged relative to the assembly near the outer circumference, such that one fluid injector nozzle is provided for injecting a pressurized fluid in discrete droplets radially into an opening between adjacent fins.
