Space jerking and the Dean Drive

Hi Folks!

Got a phone call this morning about 2AM from some guy
in Chico, Texas. It was a weird thing to do, call
someone that late...luckily, I'm a night person and
routinely stay up til about 2-3AM...so this guy is all
hot and bothered over Thom Pawlickis paper on 'How to
build a Flying Saucer' which he had downloaded. It
had my number on it, even from 8 years ago, so he
called it thinking nothing would happen...surprise!

He said he could find no errors in the Pawlickis logic
about using redirected gyroscopic precession to
produce thrust and lift. He was really hung up on
efficiencies and use of mechanics to produce the
inertial effect, though he had no formal education.

I gave him a few urls and things to look up, we talked
for about an hour and he said all his life (he is now
43) he had dreamed about flying and odd devices but
when he tried to talk to anyone about it...they
treated him like he was crazy. So he was ecstatic to
find there were others who knew and studied such
matters. He might join the list as I told him he
should as well as joining a few others so he could
talk to like-minded people with similar
interests...guess the virus that infects us hasn't
seeped everywhere YET...<g>..

The point of this, as I was driving to work, there was
a major traffic jam that made me late for work...I
kept noticing people would move for very short
distances, 10 feet or so, then slam on their brakes
causing the rear of their car to rise upwards from the
inertia.

Now, I normally refer to the analogy that Hal Puthoff
used, about driving 60 miles an hour and slamming on
the brakes, which will resut in you being thrown
against the steering wheel by 'something'..believed to
be entrained aether/ZPE.

It struck me that a far superior analogy is to move a
couple of feet, then stop instantly. Kind of a
mechanical analogy to the high density impulses from
capacitive discharges (for electrical) or inductive
discharges with very short pulse widths.

This sharp starting and stopping of a mechanical
motion, repeated and with sufficient mass, should
produce a matter wave that would entrain inertia and
cause it to be directed towards a target...

I've worked on equipment which had an electromagnetic
brake consisting of a fixed coil and a braking plate
attached to a spinning shaft. When current was
applied to the coil, the spinning shaft would stop
INSTANTLY caused by the clamping/braking action of the
braking plate. It was always surprising to me that
something moving that fast could STOP that fast.
Sometimes there was considerable torque on this
spinning shaft which simply aroused my incredulity
that it could stop so fast.

Some of the stories I've heard about the Dean drive
and other such inertial drives indicate the use of
such braking coils with a heavy rotating mass.

As I see it, with any inertial drive we have three
primary considerations;

1) the weight of the spinning mass
2) the distance the mass moves before stopping
3) the stopping time which determines the spike
duration of the matter wave

The mass is coupled to the aether/zpe influx. When it
spins, the 'tendrils' of aether/zpe which seep into
slow or static masses are snapped, letting the mass
spin freely with any inertia following its
movement...abruptly stop the motion and the inertia
continues to 'flow' while the aether/zpe tendrils rush
in to reconnect to the mass. As I see it you have to
get the mass back into motion BEFORE the aether/zpe
tendrils can reattach enough to require a lot of power
to get it moving again.

"Harold Aspden found that spinning a heavy weight
somehow entrains zpe/aether. That you could bring it
to a complete stop and each time it would take the
same amount of energy to bring it to a certain speed.
Then if you slow the spinning weight down ALMOST to a
stop, then speed it back up, it took only a small
percentage of the energy (roughly 33% total) necessary
to come FROM a complete stop, indicating some kind of
ZPE seepage into static masses."
========================
Crude version

Think of a weight attached to a spring which is
connected to a disc that rides on a shaft.

At 0 degrees, the weight is fully extended. As the
disc rotates, the weight is reeled in closer to the
shaft, cocking the weight as close to the shaft as
possible.

This occurs within the first 90 degrees or so of
rotation. When the disc rotation reaches 360, the
spring is unleashed, causing this heavy weight to be
thrown outwards towards the outside rim of the
rotating disc.

Only at that point of the rotation, will the weight be
released, causing the mass to jump forward in a tiny
step.

If you repeat this rotation, cocking and release,
faster and faster, where the rotation and release
occurs much faster, the mass will be seen to jerk in
small but increasing steps in the direction of release
of the mass.

Now the above is the crude approximation. There
should be an optimum setting for the weight, rpm and
distance thrown which would give the greatest thrust
in hopes of vectoring the contraption so that it ROSE
IN THE AIR. This is what Dean claimed to have done in
the 1950's.

So, sudden sharp mechanical starts and stops,
optimally 'tuned' to push against the
aether/zpe/gravity inflows should produce physical
effects.
