No offense, but the concept sounds like a reinvention of the Dean drive, to me. Someone else also reinvented the Dean drive to use laser thrust rather than ions. Which is not to say the Dean drive is inherently impractical, like it would work fine for small boats (and the moving parts would be enclosed and unable to chop up sea life). The fancier ones, who knows? Though it'd be more correct to call it an "exhaustless friction-inertia drive," rather than a truly reactionless one.
This is interesting to me although I am not 100% sure what it is?? I noticed you have spoons? for contact with the dowel or the axis? By inverting the input does the change direction? I didn't understand your previous response to krishields.
needs to be tested in a vacuum, NASA might help if you really think your on to something.

Ok with my design will if I put on youtube in a cofee can. Would you steel it and launch it at ordean middle school for those teachers breakfest?

well, the center of mass stayed in the same place so it's hardly a reactionless thruster

How does it work?

I am curious, if you switch the voltage leads, does it move the other direction?

It hangs from construction - two tube thrusters hangs from polarisation, simple PVC tubes not.

Nice one. I am am yet to see someone try 200KV or higher and see what happens...I think that is the key. Very High Voltages...
