r_a and r_b are the distances between the center of rotation and masses A and B. What I want to do is to create an imbalanced
rotation, in such a way that always F_a will be stronger than F_b. This can be done either by varying the mass of the spinning
masses in phase and with the same frequency as the rotation in such a way that during rotation, in a certain direction we will
always experiment more mass than the opposite direction. (I haven't seen a practical case of this system yet, although I have
one in mind) Or we can keep the masses constant and vary the length ( in my example, implemented in designs around the net,
such as the GIT in http://www.open.org/davidc ( although my opinion about the GIT is mixed ), a superconducting one:
http://www.supersymmetry.com ). Also ofcourse we can keep the length and masses constant and vary the angular velocity, which
I think is harder to design practically, but apparently this is the method used in the Lorrey Drive:
http://homepages.together.net/~retroman. Whatever the system the main idea is what is explained in the Lorrey drive's
excellent page. I recommend people to read that page to understand the concept, although I still have to figure out the
problem with the reaction force, which apparently Lorrey has solved. It's a shame that he is keeping it all secret. It's
people like him who darken the future of humanity.
