@Bryan StClair if this forum goes down everyone will know what I've presented is real.

@Bryan StClair I don't think they CAN do that. But if you want, I can delete some things? It's your forum.
Old prototypes
Here's one of my original Split Gyroscopes from back in '94: https://photos.app.goo.gl/QJcHYL7Qa7V8DHJq9 The table saw motor is 10A @ 120V, with one pound weights. The fir strips on the bottom are springy - any other wood will snap during the phase shift. This has a much longer throw than the little 12V unit I eventually made for my video. The spokes point straight forwards at the top of the arc across the room during that half rotation. This is a Torque Accelerator (although not my first one) due to the way the plane of rotation tips. And the motor makes a loud groaning sound during operation.

I've been evolving my Split Gyroscope to make it more compact. The first thing is to use concentric rotation. With four can opener gears arranged in a square, with the bottom one secured to the shaft, and the others free wheeling, the top gear will rotate opposite to the shaft. When tipping, it might be advantageous to keep the mass weights closer together - for a similar tip radius. So we could use thick but skinny metal triangles for the spokes. And I've discovered that an assembly of four gears will center the tipping.

You need to have a good sense of rhythm to start this up. Or use a trigger switch and a couple of relays.
Momentum Lever
It's usually presumed that there are three types of levers: the fulcrum in the middle, with the load on one end and the force at the other, and two others, with the fulcrum at the end, and the load and force alternating between the middle and remaining end. However, there is also a fourth lever, which has the force at one end and the load AT the fulcrum, which is moved by the applied force. To visualize this kind of lever, place your finger on the end of a strip of paper, then pull the other end straight upwards. This will pull your finger as the paper moves. A hinge can also be considered as being a moving fulcrum lever, with the sides referred to as leaves. However, the ends of the leaves must be pulled straight outwards, rather than be allowed to travel in a curved path. This is accomplished by building up momentum perpendicular to the direction of movement, then impacting the ends of the leaves. This produces a reaction which is perpendicular to the applied action. And this will also work while closing a hinge.

Back in '08, I accidentally discovered a 'Negative Inertia' effect. So I've been letting the mechanical stuff slide for awhile, developing my understanding of this force's reaction. However, around three years ago, I ran into an inspirational spark of motivation, resulting in my thinking, once again, of that impressive Momentum Lever. So now I've got two identical versions of this drawer slide mechanism (which are capable of operating with a phase shift):

A friend of mine who's made some major advances in the field of Electro Kinetic Lift once told me: "Never give something away unless you have something better".
Hello
Hi everyone, I'm Jerry. It's good to see this new forum coming out. I'm a long time builder, and I've 'played' with quite a few devices. (Most of the time there was an unrecognized, unaccounted-for force which prevented successful operation, but I learned as I went along). My primary focus involves what I call a Split Gyroscope. When the gyroscopical mass is split onto two counter rotating shafts, both sides will move in the same direction when the gyro is tipped, unlike the complex torquing of a regular gyroscope. All movements - horizontal or vertical - are forced, to conserve rotational radius' inertia. Horizontal movement: https://youtu.be/yzaJuyPpBcs?si=FN9iObTGMbjRgT8m Vertical movement, with a steering technique (out of synch rotors): https://youtu.be/a1m1In1q7jA?si=lOZ-QMjwgfMtJl0A Bottom kicks out further than the top, proving no reverse force: https://youtu.be/IA20vsHaeos?si=D8sR4iwRjEaTr-Hj This unit, which has since smoked, did deflect a swinging pendulum's swing angle, when momentarily pulsed at the high point of the swing, perpendicular to gravity's effect against the pendulum. All of this stuff has long since been open sourced into the Public Domain. -JV

One detail I left out of my Reaction Machine video at the top of this page is that after the phase shift, the tip radius of the upper quadrature rotation (gauge) is longer than the original inertial radius. In this situation, the Principle of Conservation of Momentum requires that one of two things must happen: 1. The rate of rotation must decrease, or, with a high torque motor or constant speed motor control circuit, 2. The entire mechanism must move upwards, to preserve the inertial radius. And that second reaction is what this video shows.

*That was Dave Draper who told me that a high torque motor would also work. (Son of Norman L. Dean's lab assistant, Charles Stark Draper).
Possible Gyro Powered Propulsion
It was postulated using a wheel (disc type) rotating at a low RPM (say 60 RPMs) with several gyroscopes mounted on bearings around the edge but on the flat surface, with the gyro's flywheels at a 90 degree angle to the plane of the first wheel. With the gyros all running at high speed, when the disc/wheel is rotated the gyros would remain in position relative to each other and not impede the rotation of the wheel/disc. If each gyro was locked in place through 90 to 180 degrees of the rotation of the wheel/disc and then released for the rest of the wheel/disc's rotation one could generate a semi-linear thrust. Keep in mind that there would NEED to be a pair of wheel/discs...

It's your design, but I might include a lower cam ridge pushing a pencil's eraser up against an extra disc at the bottom of the flat motors.

And, of course, there is something called wheels go round in circles (locally), so your design may produce a usable effect.
