Abstract:
In this paper we review and critically present the state-of-the-art of inertial propulsion means, which may cause motion of the object to which they are attached. At the same time, we indirectly overview some other advanced propulsion systems by direct reference to the main bibliography. First we refer to the rotation of two synchronized masses that move along a circular path (Dean-drive). We prove that they can conditionally cause motion of the object and temporal lift. We also present some of our previous results concerning masses moving along a figure-eight-shaped path on the surface of a hemisphere, which also rotates around the axis of symmetry. We give particular attention to the proper synchronization that may instantly cause loss of weight or create such instability so as the object can be easily displaced by external means. Since the rotation is the key to the inertial propulsion, we discuss the role of the rotation in gyros as well as the possibility of the existence of an aetherometric mesh or the possible influence of time dilation, as claimed by others.
