frolov from st petersburgh university describes the reactionless effects of gyros of varying radius
i built one and it works i got a speed of 0.5 m/min on water out of a meccano
heres the theory:
you are on a planet on 0g and want to accelerate constantly up
you go up a tower and you shoot 10m underneath you two cannonballs opossed horizontally and two cables are unite to the balls,cable that can become longer or shorter because you hold a spool giving away or recovering cable
basically once the two cannonballs are shot you just have to make out of the balls by giving and recovering cable a trajectory like a looping yoyo)
you would be making constantly horizontal loops with the cannonball and by this means propelled up
how?
well if you put a dinamometer in the cable in the spiral part that goes outwards thats underneath you the tension will be much minor than in the part of spiral that goes inwards thats above you
simplificating, the balls are the same time underneath you than above you but the tension(only force you feel) is much greater when theyre above you than underneath you so thought theres reaction this is much minor than the action
another way to understand it is to take a circuit composed of two halves, an inwards spiral and an outwards spiral
the centrifugal force will be bigger in the inwards spiral and smaller in the outwards one
