Dr. Gennady Shipov's computer-controlled gyroscopic inertia drive, sometimes described as a “4-dimensional gyroscope” propulsion system. This device employed rotating masses/gyroscopes whose spin axes were dynamically reoriented in a programmed sequence (utilizing the extra degrees of freedom from 4D/torsional mechanics).
The design was intended to directly validate Shipov’s theoretical formula
𝐸=𝑚(𝜃)𝑐2 by showing that altering the spin of internal masses changes the system’s effective inertia, producing acceleration of the whole device.
Shipov began this work in the early 2000s, conducting experiments in Thailand to escape domestic scientific “inquisitors”. The “torsion motor” eventually received a patent in Thailand and was built as a prototype by an international team of engineers and physicists.
Experimental Validation: Shipov reported that the prototype propulsion unit successfully propelled itself in laboratory tests, confirming his theoretical predictions. By rapidly altering the orientation of spinning rotors in 4D-like cycles, the device achieved a small but measurable displacement of its center of mass without any external force. This work laid the theoretical foundation for later devices like the Menshikov/Polyakov inertioid.
In 2005, Shipov presented these results at an international physics conference in Belgium, announcing the possibility of “motion without reaction mass” based on what he called Descartes’ mechanics. The 4D gyro concept demonstrated how controlling spacetime torsion could produce thrust, and it earned Shipov recognition as both “an outstanding theorist and a brilliant experimentalist,” according to colleagues.
(Precise performance data from these lab tests were not widely published, as mainstream journals remained skeptical; the evidence was mainly in private reports and demonstrations.)
