Inertial Propulsion Device

INERTIAL PROPULSION DEVICE (IPD)

Inertial Propulsion requires no propellant or jets to produce motion. Motion is produced by what Dr. Eric Laithwaite termed Motion-by-Mass-Transfer (MMT) (Horizontal Motion=HMT, Vertical=VMT). Its principle of operation relies on spinning horizontally precessing flywheels having reduced inertia in the direction of precession.

Innovative Liquid Methane Fly Back Booster Rocket

Designs for launching payloads to orbit rely on expendable liquid kerosone or hydrogen fuel sources. This is a costly due to the high cost of design and construction of ultra light weight tanks using aluminum-lithium alloys. We propose reusable LCH4/LOX fuel tanks concentricly aligned which are fully reuseable to provide 1 ½ or 2 stage rocket lift platforms.

Internal-Combustion Engine

It is common in an internal-combustion engine for the piston with rings to move down during the power stroke under the influence of gas pressure. At the same time the piston pushes a connecting rod and thus rotates the crankshaft. Because the connecting rod is connected to the piston and crankshaft by cylindrical hinges,
