ABSTRACT:
A propulsion unit which converts electricity into unidirectional thrust by electromagnetically spinning an assembly of weights about a circuitous path, such that the radius of rotation for a given weight from the center of the spinning assembly is significantly greater along one portion of path than a second portion of the path. Two identical electromagnetically spinning weight assemblies spin in opposite directions to counteract torque stresses created by varying the respect radii of rotation for the weights. The resulting imbalances of centrifugal force produced by the actions of the two electromagnet weight spinning systems produces a unidirectional thrust whose vector would depend upon that sector of the path where the respective radius of rotation is greatest. A plurality of these systems arranged in counter-rotating coplanar pairs along the three axes of three dimensional space (i.e. X,Y, and Z axes) are utilized to produce a smooth unidirectional thrust along any vector.
