Simple to construct apparatus that demonstrate a closed system reactionless propulsion system as described in http://www.wjetech.50webs.com/#propellers have fun.

  • You are totally correct, it is easy to visualize if you take the time “think a little about it”, many refuse to take the time because it seem to conflict with the law of conservation of linear momentum (a big deal for many)

    Please see web page wjetech.cl/start/ where I explain

  • Note: In the video the module is placed on aluminum rails separated by aluminum rollers (tubes) this setup permits a near frictionless surface for recording the video, unfortunately the rail assembly in not very visible on the video. A new video is in the works.

  • You are adding energy to the system with the electric fan inside. Is this really that difficult to understand?

  • If I understand correctly, don't know everything involved in your design. It's possible to do this because the -v(momentum that counters momentum in the desired direction.) Is rendered as harmless noise. While +v is not dissipated and imparted to the center of mass. e.g. the chamber.

  • Mythbusters managed to push a sailboat on all scales with a fan onboard, Im sure they faked it right? or maybe laws written hundreds of years ago are due an update. Your failing to take into account the Mass of the housing. If the mass of the container is great it will resist moving relative to an object with less mass. Now, figure in that as an object accelerates it gains mass (Physics 101) and then impart that mass into the housing in the form of kinetic energy.. and you have the above.

  • I know what I see!!! Most of you people are not very smart!!! sorry

  • The max energy is positive!!! Good Job!!!

  • if it was frictionless, it wouldn't stop - it would slide off the table. You need an air table to do experiments like these with any sort of reliable data output. Think air hockey tables.

    In any case, the acceleration of the little car with the propeller is less than what is required to overcome friction with the tabletop, but the impulse delivered to the end wall of the chamber is greater than the friction holding the chamber in place on the table.

  • You dumb, boy?

  • there would be no friction in space, so it woudn't work. Your design only works as when the fan retreats, its acceleration and force are not strong enough to make the railing move. replace the railings with empty space, and the whole thing becomes pointless. You can do this experiment by turning around on one leg using the power of the other. Now if you're standing in oil and butter instead of a shoe with good grip, you'll find it a lot more difficult to turn. I know I tried it as a kid :D
