A rotary propulsion engine system designed to propel a craft. Such a rotary propulsion engine system comprises a power supply, a counterrotating disc assembly including two axially and rotatably connected discs, a drive mechanism to rotate the two counterrotating discs, an axle assembly, at least two reaction masses or armatures, at least two reaction mass driver assemblies, and at least two travel pathways for the reaction masses. Reaction masses are fired into a rotational environment wherein the kinetic energy of the reaction masses is recycled, thereby reducing or eliminating the need for chemical propellant-based propulsion systems, and transporting heavy, finite, and expensive fuels for combustion.

A power generating apparatus for obtaining a force to repulse the gravitational force includes a columnar magnet, generating a magnetic field, and an electromagnetic wave irradiation part, irradiating an electromagnetic wave on a gravitational wave in parallel or substantially in parallel with a gravitational wave within the magnetic field, having been generated, thereby a power which is repulsive to the gravitational force is generated.

This Angular Momentum Engine in this patent application uses three simple systems: angular momentum, centripetal force, and relative motion to convert a rotational centripetal force to a linear centripetal force. This Angular Momentum Engine is an ‘add-on’ to any existing vehicles propulsion system. Centripetal force cannot accelerate a vehicle as once this centripetal force reaches a vehicles ‘net force resistance’, the resistance of a physical object to any change in velocity, the centripetal force becomes tangential. This Angular Momentum Engine centripetal force can only equal a vehicles ‘ ’ net force resistance, therefore acceleration is left to the exiting propulsion system, such as a series or parallel automotive hybrid systems, as an example. Centripetal forces are exponential, as its force is proportional to the square of the speed, while acceleration forces are linear giving this patent design an exponential edge over existing propulsion systems.

The present invention discloses a pulsed electric field propulsion system for spacecraft. The system includes a capacitor stack comprising an array of supercapacitors. Solid-state electronic circuits generate high time-rate-of-change currents and pulsed electric fields in pulse coils. The pulse coils direct the electric fields onto separated electric charges stored in the capacitor stack. The resulting unidirectional Lorentz Forces thereby generate thrust without reaction mass. Reaction momentum is carried away by Poynting Vector fields in conformity with the currently understood principles of electrodynamics. The design is scalable down to micro-chip sized thrusters.

Eccentric centrifugal force is a fictitious force that is centrifugal in nature but is focused and directional. It is generated by having the axis of rotation which is off-center or eccentric. The generating device can move three dimensionally and overcome other fictitious forces such as gravity or inertia. The generating device can be attached to other objects causing the other objects to move with the ECF device. Thus for example, an ECF device attached to a vehicle, such as a car, could move a car. Because ECF is three dimensional, an ECF device in a car can allow a car to fly. The ECF generator herein has a hub with a hole in it, a shaft that goes through the hole and a weight on the end of the shaft. The hub is off-centered (eccentric) in a race. The race forces the spindle to slide back and forth through the off-centered hubs thus providing an eccentric centrifugal force.

Electric In-Space propulsion uses no fuel. Thrust is generated as impulses where in space, momentum is additive. Rotary motion is converted into bi-linear oscillation of a carriage then its momentum rectified: The carriage is shifted forward during low inertia, so momentum used to oscillate the carriage forward is conserved to be used later in the cycle. Reverse carriage oscillations are deflected. This creates only a pulsed demand on the electric power supplythus too fulfilling the law of Conservation of Energy: Newton's third law of motion is upheld because action and reaction are not simultaneous events, so in this engine, the inertial delay occurs at post carriage shift during part of the rotors' orbitwhen centrifugal force emerges: The centripetal force of the rotors are cyclically nullified by the shift resulting in surges of centrifugal force.

This Space Force Engine is designed for use in deep space. The Space Force engine uses Newton's third law of motion that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. An ironless Lorentz type tubular linear motor, de-acceleration and acceleration the movable rod, produces a forward force the de-acceleration and acceleration of the movable rod in the opposite direction produces a backward force.

The linear centripetal forces, created by an Angular Momentum Engine counteract the backward reaction force and thereby results in a net forward acceleration to the space vehicle by the forward force.

A device is for giving a continuous, smooth thrust at a chosen direction of movement by exploiting a difference of initial impulses and final impulses given to rotational sources of magnetic field. Interactions between the magnetic field of the rotational sources and electromagnetic fields generated by stationary sources cause the impulses of various magnitudes and directions. The device is for creating a thrust at any chosen direction. The device does not require any motor. The device is only powered by electricity which may be supplied from solar panels, nuclear reactor, alkaline battery, and other sources.
