gyro answer jogglevision 2017-02-05 | This is a follow on video showing that, when gyros are involved, Newton's third law would better describe the reaction movement without the word opposite. Thus:- "To every action there is an equal reaction". (Nitro's third law?) As can be seen; part of a spring's linear input is converted by the gyros into torsional output causing a non Newtonian reduction of linear reaction when the gyros are running compared to when they are not.Well done to those who figured out or guessed this.
A video for Harry Faber and everyone who likes good workmanship jogglevision 2017-01-20 | Some of the lovely woodwork by Harry Faber's dad - plus a couple of mine I've sneaked in. My sister Liz, "the worlds best Mudologist", (sadly no longer with us) sold these lovely items in her pottery (now Mas des Sables holiday cottages) in Guernsey.
Reaction question...please leave your answers (polite please) below jogglevision 2017-01-10 | Will this device, having the same force applied to accelerate its mass, move more or less or the same when its integral gyros are rotated as when the gyros are still? Answer video later.......

Impulse drive exists - but not as sci-fi imagined........ jogglevision 2015-08-17 | A recently recovered, very old, hi-8 video showing the use of alternating a gyrodynamic stroke with a Newtonian stroke that leads to a machine that produces fast(ish) repeatable reactionless (*mostly) propulsion.Mine is not the only machine to produce reactionless propulsion(*mostly). A later made machine is shown on this other YouTube video here:- www.youtube.com/watch?v=nstIIZZadAM.Both machines would work successfully on an air table.As the - www.youtube.com/watch?v=nstIIZZadAM - gyros are not force precessed (ie; it uses gravity to reset between strokes instead of a motive force, as shown in my video here) it cannot work in space and its reset time is doomed to be slow. Motive powering is also necessary for the torque cancelling mirrored motion needed for space applications. Read my video comments regarding severe limitations for space applications.*mostly; because there is no such thing as a perfect gyro.

Fun with Newton jogglevision 2013-02-14 | A simple device to show that you can get round Newton's laws.The Smithsonian (and others) describe how the Newton's first law prescribes the motions of a pendulum; see:-http://www.si.edu/Encyclopedia_SI/nmah/pendulum.htmHere it states:- "When you set the pendulum swinging it will continue to swing in the same direction unless it is pushed or pulled in some other direction. (This is due to a basic law of nature called Newton's First Law.)". First law? Third law? I have put up a longer explanation in this video but the average YouTuber has a notoriously short attention span and this subject does not lend itself to brevity. However, if you can spare the time............... “MacPhail’s pendulum” shows anomalies with Newton’s first and third laws - look them up! Once released, apart from tiny air resistance, the only force acting externally on the pendulum is gravity and (in my experience, at least) gravity works in a straight line in our scale of things. This is why a pendulum will normally swing to and fro in a straight line until and unless a side ways force is applied externally to alter its path. There is no external force acting sideways to change the pendulums direction of swing – unless you happen to think that you can push the pendulum’s ball sideways with the untouched supporting thread. This would be the equivalent of trying to play snooker with string! The sideways force changing the pendulums direction of swing is small but clear enough to show its effect over a number of swings. This sideways force is being created within the ball and the important thing to try and get your head round (not easy, I know, for those with some scientific understanding) is that, while there is a sideways force being created in the ball, there is no Newtonian equal and opposite force being created in the ball, hence the change in direction of swing. There is an equal force being created within the ball by a mechanism – this force just happens not to be opposite! Perhaps the third law should read:- to every action there is an equal and usually opposite reaction. By the way, I do know how to pronounce “Foucault”. I must have had brain fade in the video – sooorrryyy.

Arent gyros fun jogglevision 2012-02-19 | Newton was right - right? This link shows an early prototype step on the path to developing a machine to push in space (or anywhere else) without the need to push against something or to chuck things away - like hot rocket exhaust. In theory it could run on (comparatively) never ending photovoltaic electricity. It seriously questions Newton's third law of motion and idea of the conservation of linear motion. As you will see, it shoves a weight in one direction in complete disregard of the predictions of the third law. The mechanism (the whole machine) that does the shoving does not react and move in the opposite direction as predicted by the third law but instead, after some perturbation, moves in the same direction that it shoves the weight. Eric Laithwaite was so close, bless him for his efforts to open minds but, as I did in the beginning, I think he forgot that gyros act as if they have no mass in precession and so a separate, independent, mass has to be incorporated in the mechanism, and must be moved, for it to work. This is the latest and perhaps strangest Jogglevision video so far. It is from an eleven year old 8 mm video I just found that I thought I had lost forever. Mad or genius? Don't worry if you don't understand this. More, funny, and easier on your brain, stuff later.
