AI Physics Analysis

The patent describes a magnetic energy amplification device that claims to use energy from a magnetic generator to produce a larger output, constituting a classic over-unity claim. It violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) by implying energy creation, and the second law by suggesting perpetual amplification without an external energy source or entropy sink.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Violates energy conservation: Describes a system where magnetic energy from a generator is used to create amplified output energy, implying energy multiplication.
  • Violates thermodynamic limits: Implies a self-sustaining or over-unity amplification process without an identifiable high-quality energy input or gradient.
  • Incomplete energy accounting: No identification of the primary energy source to replenish the magnetic system's energy; treats permanent magnet's field as an infinite energy source.

AI Physics Analysis

The patent describes a 'winged hypersonic device' that claims to generate its own propulsion energy internally through vague 'data energy source' processing and magnetic feedback, with no clear external energy input. This violates energy conservation, as the described internal components cannot create net energy to power sustained high-speed flight. The language is heavily obfuscated with pseudo-technical terms masking the fundamental violation.

Specific Physics Issues
  • No identifiable primary energy source (fuel, electricity, ambient gradient).
  • Claims of 'self-processing data energy sources' are physically meaningless; data is not an energy source.
  • Implies creation of propulsion energy from internal signal processing without an external energy input.
  • Uses technobabble ('permanent magnet body', 'vacuum core structure', 'energy system') without coherent physical mechanism.
  • Claims shielding from external energy signal interference while simultaneously extracting energy from internal processing - contradictory.

Claimed Energy Source

Initially from an electrical battery, which powers a magnetron to create a plasma. The system claims to receive supplemental energy from a 'rain of energizing neutrinos' (8) from the 'ether' (20), and to use a turbine and boiler system in a loop that appears to feed back to the battery.

AI Physics Analysis

The patent describes a spacecraft propulsion system that claims to extract supplemental energy from neutrinos and a mysterious 'ether,' while also suggesting a self-powering energy loop. This violates the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation) as it posits a net energy source from a negligible interaction (neutrinos) and a non-existent medium (ether), and the described cycle suggests perpetual motion.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Invokes non-existent 'ether' as a medium and energy source.
  • Claims neutrinos provide 'supplemental energy' to the plasma, ignoring their negligible interaction cross-section, making them an impractical energy source for this purpose.
  • Describes a feedback loop where a turbine (18) powers the battery (25) that initially powers the system, suggesting a perpetual motion scheme without a primary external fuel.
  • Mixes undefined concepts (ether, neutrino rain) with real components (Faraday cage, magnetron) in a physically incoherent manner.

AI Physics Analysis

The device is a perpetual motion machine of the first kind. It describes a closed-cycle compressed air engine that recirculates and re-liquefies its working fluid, claiming to produce useful thrust while ignoring the fundamental energy input required to overcome thermodynamic losses, particularly the large energy cost of liquefaction.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Violates the First Law (Energy Conservation): The system claims to recirculate and reuse the same air/fluid indefinitely, performing work (thrust) without a net energy input to compensate for losses from thrust generation, friction, and heat dissipat
  • Violates the Second Law: Liquefying air (a highly ordered, low-entropy state) requires significant work input and waste heat rejection. The described cycle has no external energy source or entropy sink to make this process sustainable.
  • Incomplete Energy Accounting: The patent ignores the massive energy required for isothermal compression and cooling to create liquid air, treating it as a consequence of the cycle rather than a primary energy input.

USPTO Abstract

Abstract본 발명은 제트엔진처럼 비행체 뒤쪽으로 배기가스를 내뿜어 추진력을 얻는 방식이 아닌 공간에 존재하는 물체를 끌어당길 때 발생하는 관성을 이용하여 지속적인 추진력을 얻는 비행체의 엔진에 관한 것이다.관성을 추진력으로 사용하고자 할 때 풀어야 할 문제는 끌어당긴 물체를 별도의 에너지를 사용하지 않으면서 원래의 위치로 되돌려 보내는 것이다. 그래야만 지속적으로 관성을 이용한 한 쪽 방향으로의 추진력을 얻을 수 있기 때문이다.이를 위해 본 발명은 회전하는 물체는 무게 중심이 회전 중심과 일치할 때 에너지 투입 없이 물체의 회전방향을 바꿀 수 있다는 점에 착안하여 원형 파이프(10) 내부에서 회전할 수 있는 자성체(20) 3개를 120°각도로 배치하여 무게중심을 회전중심에 일치시킨 후 코일(P1)로 동 자성체(20) 중 하나(a)를 잡아당겨서 관성에 의한 힘을 얻고 간격지지대(21)에 의해 회전하는 다른 자성체(c)가 2번 째 코일(P2)을 지날 때 회전운동을 방해하는 방향으로 잡아당겨 연속해서 같은 방향으로 관성에 의한 힘을 발생시킨다. 이와 같은 과정의 무한 반복을 통해 동일한 방향의 추진력을 지속적으로 얻을 수 있다.본 발명은 비행체의 속도에 상관없이 관성에 의한 힘을 얻을 수 있기 때문에 지속적인 가속이 가능하여 태양계 탐사 등 우주 여행에 필요한 높은 속도의 비행체 엔진으로 적합하다.

AI Physics Analysis

The device claims to generate mechanical work by extracting energy from ambient humidity. This is a thermodynamic violation because extracting net work from a single environmental reservoir (the moist air) without a lower-temperature sink or a compensating energy input is impossible under the laws of thermodynamics. The patent fails to identify a legitimate energy source or account for all energy inputs and outputs.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Violates First Law of Thermodynamics (Energy Conservation): Claims to extract useful work from ambient humidity without accounting for the energy required to create/maintain a non-equilibrium state or the energy source for the humidity gradient.
  • Violates Second Law of Thermodynamics: Implies extraction of net work from a single thermal reservoir (ambient air with humidity) without a colder sink, which is thermodynamically impossible for a cyclic process.
  • Incomplete Energy Accounting: Describes an output (mechanical work from rotating bodies) but does not identify the compensating input energy. Humidity gradient energy is not a source of net work without a compensating entropy increase elsewhere.

This violates conservation of momentum and energy, as a net propulsive force requires the permanent expulsion of momentum-carrying mass. The described energy recovery would negate thrust, making sustained flight impossible.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Violates energy conservation by claiming to recover and reuse the majority of the expelled reaction mass's kinetic energy for propulsion, effectively creating a near-closed cycle for momentum.
  • Proposes extracting net useful work (propulsion) from a system where the working fluid is continuously recycled, ignoring that the reaction mass must carry away momentum and cannot be fully recaptured without an external reaction force.
  • Describes a rotating pressure vessel heated by a moderator, a complex condensing/radiating system, and gyroscopic stabilization, but the core propulsion claim is a perpetual-motion machine of the first kind (energy from nothing).

The patent's core violation is in Claim 4, which describes an impossible closed-loop energy system where generators recharge the very batteries that power the motors driving them, ignoring thermodynamic losses. While the mechanical disk system for lift/propulsion might function with an external power source, the claimed 'self-supply' system is a perpetual motion machine of the first kind.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Claim 4 describes a closed-loop self-powering system (batteries → motors → disks → generators → transformers → batteries) which violates conservation of energy due to inevitable losses from friction, electrical resistance, and waste heat.
  • The system claims to generate 'supply energy' from the generators driven by the disks, which are themselves powered by the batteries. This is a classic over-unity/perpetual motion claim.

The patent's core claim is for self-propelling engines that achieve 'double efficiency' by harnessing both action and reaction forces internally. This is a classic violation of Newton's laws and energy conservation, as internal forces cannot produce net work on a system. The mention of photovoltaic or atomic energy sources does not rectify the fundamental violation proposed in the mechanical design.

Unclear. The primary claimed energy source appears to be the centripetal force generated by rotating masses, which is an internal, reaction force that cannot perform net work on the system's center of mass.

AI Physics Analysis

The device claims to generate linear propulsion by converting internal rotational forces, but centripetal force is a reaction force that cannot perform net work on a system's center of mass. The description implies creating useful linear force from an internal mechanism without an external energy source, which violates Newton's laws and energy conservation.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Centripetal force is a center-seeking constraint force; it cannot do net work to propel a vehicle as it is always perpendicular to instantaneous velocity in circular motion.
  • Claims 'converting rotational centripetal force to linear centripetal force' is physically meaningless; force is a vector, not a convertible quantity.
  • The system is described as an 'add-on' that provides exponential force, implying net work output greater than the rotational energy input from the motor, violating energy conservation.

USPTO Abstract

AbstractA propulsion system for an orbiting vehicle such as a low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite includes a set of surfaces over which a gas passes during orbital flight, and a plurality of electrodes on the surfaces. The electrodes are configured to create an electric field having a spatial field pattern in response to field signals, experienced by passing gas molecules as an oscillating field having a frequency on the order of a polarization-resonance frequency of the molecules to impart a propulsive traveling-wave dielectrophoretic force to the passing molecules. The electrodes extend over sufficient area to impart sufficient traveling-wave dielectrophoretic force to the gas to overcome aerodynamic drag and thereby sustain orbital flight of the vehicle. A power source applies the field signals to the electrodes, providing sufficient power to overcome power lost to aerodynamic drag and thereby sustain orbital flight.

AI Physics Analysis

The system claims to use electrical power to generate a traveling electric field that pushes on ambient gas molecules to produce thrust, overcoming drag. However, in the thermal equilibrium conditions of low-Earth orbit, imparting a net directional force to random thermal molecules without ejecting mass or creating a pressure gradient violates momentum conservation. It effectively attempts to create a net propulsive force from an internal energy conversion alone, which is impossible for a closed system interacting with an isotropic environment.

USPTO Abstract

AbstractA system for propelling craft which is applicable in any environment. It employs an alternating magnetic field supplied by a coil. A parallel plate capacitor is situated so that the flux of the magnetic field flows between the plates of the capacitor. The capacitor is charged and discharged in synchronization with the alternating magnetic field. The changing magnetic field creates an electric field that applies a force to the charge in the plates which is then transferred to the body of the device. Any induced reactive electric force on the coil affects equally the protons and electrons in the wires of the coil creating the magnetic field, thus the force is non-reactive. At the same time, the changing electric field in the capacitor creates a magnetic field. The current in the coils and/or the surface current in the ferromagnetic material (if present) experiences a force from the magnetic field. The magnetic field created by these currents, however, has no free charge between the plates of the capacitor with which to react, thus this force is also non-reactive. The two forces are in opposite directions, but are not the same magnitude, thus the device is propelled in a single direction.

USPTO Abstract

AbstractThis invention relates to propulsion systems. The Centrifugal Propeller is a dosed propulsion system with no external moving parts, other than a drive shaft, and has no external vents. The Centrifugal Propeller creates thrust by redirecting the reaction from centrifugal force so as to create directed thrust. The Centrifugal Propeller has significant advantages over other propulsion systems because it can be closed to the environment that it operates in. That means that it can operate in water, in air, or in outer space. It does not produce energy such as an electric motor but rather, converts that energy from a drive source such as an electric motor, into directed thrust. The invention's operation is not limited to closed environments. The Centrifugal Propeller will create thrust in any environment that its drive source will operate in. An electric motor can be completely closed to the environment it operates in and so would be the best source of power for the Centrifugal Propeller. Potential drive sources for the invention are: electric motors, internal combustion motors, turbines, and rockets. The Centrifugal Propeller will operate in outer space. An ideal match would be to use an electric motor running off of a nuclear generator, to turn the Centrifugal Propeller. In space the Centrifugal Propeller will continually accelerate and so space craft will have constant gravity while accelerating or decelerating. The Centrifugal Propeller will be used to propel and/or lift objects. It can be used to replace any current propulsion systems including but not limited to: cranes, jet engines, rocket engines, marine propellers and aircraft propellers.

This device claims to achieve propulsion without expelling reaction mass ('无工质飞行'), which directly violates Newton's Third Law and conservation of momentum. While it uses real components (electromagnets, compressors), the described cyclic process of air bubbles in magnetic fluid cannot produce net thrust in a closed system, making it a form of perpetual motion machine.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Violates Newton's Third Law (action-reaction) by claiming propulsion without expelling reaction mass ('无工质飞行')
  • Violates conservation of momentum - net thrust cannot be generated from internal cyclic processes in a closed system
  • Energy accounting incomplete: ignores energy required to create/maintain magnetic and density gradients
  • Misapplies concepts: 'spatial density gradient field' does not provide a reaction medium for propulsion in vacuum

The patent claims a device where the electrostatic potential energy of some charge carriers is both negative and exceeds their mass-energy equivalent, which is physically incoherent. It further implies this configuration can be used for propulsion without an identifiable external energy source, violating conservation of energy by suggesting net work can be extracted from a static, pre-charged system.

The claim violates energy conservation. The Casimir effect is a conservative force arising from boundary conditions on quantum fields; it cannot be harnessed for net propulsion without expending at least as much energy to modulate the system as the work extracted, making it incapable of being a primary thrust source.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Claims to generate a net lateral Casimir force for propulsion without an external energy gradient or input power.
  • Casimir forces are conservative, time-averaged potentials; they cannot do net work in a cycle or produce continuous thrust without an external energy source.
  • Switching the configuration may temporarily alter the force, but net work over a cycle requires energy input to change the boundary conditions, violating the assumption of 'propulsion' from the force itself.

The device claims to achieve sustained levitation by trapping and concentrating Earth's magnetic field inside a superconducting shell, then using the deformed field to produce an upward force. This violates energy conservation because extracting net mechanical work from a static magnetic field without an external energy source is impossible; it's a perpetual motion machine.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Violates energy conservation: claims to extract net levitation work (against gravity) from Earth's static magnetic field without depleting it or providing compensating energy.
  • Misunderstands magnetic fields: Earth's magnetic field is conservative; no net work can be extracted from it in a cycle. Trapping and 'deforming' field lines does not create a perpetual force.
  • Superconducting Meissner effect expels magnetic fields; it cannot 'trap' and 'concentrate' a static field to produce sustained force. The described mechanism is thermodynamically impossible.

The device claims to use a chemical rocket (H2/O2) to accelerate a spacecraft to light speed, which is fundamentally impossible. Chemical propulsion is limited by the energy density of the fuel, and achieving relativistic velocities violates conservation of energy and momentum, as it would require infinite energy to reach c.

AI Physics Analysis

The device is a closed system that attempts to generate net linear thrust by internally pumping fluid and harnessing centrifugal forces in curved sections. This violates conservation of momentum, as all forces and momentum changes are internal, resulting in zero net external force on the system. It is a classic claim for a reactionless drive, which is physically impossible.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Violates Newton's Third Law (action-reaction). The system is a closed internal loop; moving mass internally cannot produce a net external force (center of mass remains unchanged).
  • Misinterprets centrifugal force as an external force. Centrifugal force is a fictitious, inward-seeking constraint force within a rotating reference frame; it cannot be 'harvested' for net linear propulsion of an isolated system.
  • Incomplete force accounting. Forces on the fluid during pumping and in curved paths are internal to the system. Any momentum gained in one direction is canceled by opposite momentum elsewhere in the loop.

USPTO Abstract

AbstractThis novel engine is capable of steadily pushing a spacecraft through the vacuum of space without the need for any fuel burned or any high-velocity gases expelled to propel the vehicle forward. In each cycle, a moving ball comes to a stop and reverses its direction of movement; this cycle then repeats itself through impact collision, meaning the ball keeps bouncing off the engine's frame. In physics, this is called an elastic collision, whereby the ball transfers its momentum to the engine's frame and re-gains it by bouncing back. Akin to a "Newton's cradle", a set of stationary solid spheres/balls arranged symmetrically and held in place by wire ropes in the shape of a semi-circle (180 degrees) or a quarter-circle (90 degrees) act as the medium, through which the instantaneous energy of impact (impulse) of one dynamic ball is transferred to the other. For this closed cycle to continue to work indefinitely, two electromagnets are used to add enough kinetic energy to the dynamic balls in order to account for the energy losses in each cycle. By creating a perfectly elastic 'collision' between the dynamic ball and the engine's frame, both the momentum and kinetic energy of the ball are conserved. As a result, a net impulse (force applied over a period of time) is repeatedly added to the engine's frame and subsequently to the spacecraft, causing it to gradually gain momentum and accelerate.

AI Physics Analysis

The device is an internal momentum exchange system. All forces and impulses between the ball, frame, and stationary spheres are internal to the spacecraft, so they cancel out for the system as a whole. No net thrust can be generated on the spacecraft without expelling reaction mass, violating Newton's third law and conservation of momentum.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Violates conservation of momentum: A closed system cannot generate net linear momentum without ejecting mass.
  • Misapplies elastic collision physics: Internal collisions cannot produce net thrust on the vehicle's center of mass.
  • Confuses impulse on a component with net impulse on the system: Internal forces cancel out.
  • Claims 'fuel-less' interstellar propulsion, which is impossible without reaction mass or external interaction.

The patent claims a method of creating lift for a flying apparatus solely by rotating a disk above a specific, arbitrarily defined rotational speed. This describes a closed system attempting to generate net propulsion without expelling reaction mass, directly violating conservation of momentum (Newton's third law).

AI Physics Analysis

The device attempts to generate propulsion solely through internal centrifugal forces, which is a classic violation of Newton's laws of motion. Internal forces, no matter how arranged, cannot produce net acceleration of a system's center of mass. This is a form of perpetual motion/self-propulsion claim.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Centrifugal force is an internal, center-seeking constraint force within the rotating frame. It cannot produce a net external force or translation of the device's center of mass.
  • The system attempts to use internal reaction forces (rods pressing on a central 'maintien' system) to generate net thrust, violating Newton's third law. For every action on the internal structure, there is an equal and opposite reaction within the sa
  • The description suggests tilting or directing this internal centrifugal force can maneuver the craft, but this is physically impossible as internal forces cannot change the momentum of an isolated system.

AI Physics Analysis

The device attempts to use internal centrifugal forces to generate lift and propulsion, which is physically impossible. Centrifugal forces within a closed system cannot create a net external force on the system's center of mass, violating Newton's laws of motion. The mechanism describes only internal stresses, not a means to interact with the external environment to produce thrust.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Centrifugal force is an internal, reaction force within a rotating system. It cannot produce net external thrust or lift on the entire device.
  • The described mechanism (rods pressing on an internal support structure) creates only internal stresses, not an external net force vector to lift or propel the vehicle.

USPTO Abstract

AbstractA propulsion system which is designed to be used on a payload platform such as a spacecraft, satellite, aircraft or ocean vessel. To operate the system, electrical power is required. However, during operation the system does not require fuel or mass to be expelled into the environment in order to move in space. The system is designed to operate in two operational modes: in mode 1 the system incrementally moves the payload platform forward with each operational cycle. In the first mode, the system starts out with zero momentum and after moving a small distance is again left with zero momentum. In the mode 2 operation the payload platform accelerates forward a discrete increment of velocity during each operational cycle. In this second mode of operation these increments of velocity are additive.

AI Physics Analysis

The system describes an internal mechanism (rotating weights) that, when operated on a free-floating platform, cannot produce net propulsion. Conservation of momentum dictates that the system's center of mass cannot accelerate by internal forces alone. The claim of moving 'without requiring fuel or mass to be expelled' is a direct violation of Newton's third law for propulsion in a vacuum.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Claims net translation of center of mass without expelling reaction mass, violating conservation of momentum.
  • Internal moving parts (counter-rotating weights) cannot produce a net external force on an isolated system.
  • Energy accounting ignores that electrical input is converted to kinetic energy of internal moving masses; any base motion in one part of the cycle must be exactly reversed in another to conserve momentum.

USPTO Abstract

AbstractAn electromagnetic propellant-less thruster comprises at least one electric current transmission line 5a, a means of producing electrical pulses (1, 2, 4a, 4b in figure 1) of short predetermined duration and predetermined rate, and an electromagnetic shielding means forming a plurality of volumes, each volume containing at least one segment / section of the electric current transmission line, the shielding means preventing electromagnetic fields in one volume interacting with electric current in different volumes. Ideally, the arrangement comprises two superconducting parallel wires 5a, 5b located within the shielding means 6a, 6b, while the electric pulse duration, and the duration between the pulses in the first and second wires are of picosecond duration. The electromagnetic thruster claims to operate by making one wire react off the field created by the other wire thereby creating a force vector, but wherein the field created by the second wire does not does not affect the first wire. The device does not require propellant, only electrical energy.

AI Physics Analysis

The device claims to produce a net thrust by having one wire react to the field of another while preventing the reverse interaction, which is physically impossible. Momentum cannot be created from nothing within a closed electromagnetic system, making this a propellant-less drive that violates Newton's laws.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Claims a net force (thrust) from internal electromagnetic interactions without expelling propellant, violating Newton's third law and conservation of momentum.
  • Shielding cannot negate the mutual interaction between two current-carrying wires; forces are equal and opposite (Lorentz force law).
  • The described mechanism suggests creating an asymmetric force on the system from its own internal fields, which is impossible for a closed system.

AI Physics Analysis

The patent's core premise—that equal amounts of matter and antimatter can form a 'practically massless' composite object—violates the definition of mass in special relativity and the conservation of mass-energy. It misuses the concept of antimatter's properties to suggest a configuration that would annihilate instantly and could not provide net propulsion without expelling reaction mass.

  • Proposes stable coexistence of matter and antimatter in direct contact via magnetic fields, which is impossible due to immediate annihilation.

USPTO Abstract

AbstractA space vehicle propelled by the pressure of inflationary vacuum state is provided comprising a hollow superconductive shield, an inner shield, a power source, a support structure, upper and lower means for generating an electromagnetic field, and a flux modulation controller.A cooled hollow superconductive shield is energized by an electromagnetic field resulting in the quantized vortices of lattice ions projecting a gravitomagnetic field that forms a spacetime curvature anomaly outside the space vehicle. The spacetime curvature imbalance, the spacetime curvature being the same as gravity, provides for the space vehicle's propulsion. The space vehicle, surrounded by the spacetime anomaly, may move at a speed approaching the light-speed characteristic for the modified locale.

AI Physics Analysis

The device claims propulsion by creating a spacetime anomaly, which is a physically undefined process that circumvents conservation of momentum. It uses correct-sounding terms like 'gravitomagnetic field' and 'inflationary vacuum state' in a speculative, incorrect manner to obfuscate the lack of a real reaction mechanism.

Specific Physics Issues

  • No valid connection is made between superconductors, electromagnetic fields, and the generation of net propulsive force from the vacuum.

USPTO Abstract

AbstractA vehicle transport system including a torque platform with counter-rotating flywheels, whose axes of rotation are parallel to one another, is featured. One or more torque platforms are joined together with a platform rotating mechanism to rotate the platforms relative to the vehicle in which they are mounted. The combined mechanism is used to rotate the entire vehicle. Resistance of the counter-rotating flywheels to change in their axes of rotation provides rotational torque and rotation of the entire vehicle around the vehicle's center of mass. Successive increments of rotation in alternate rotational directions are coordinated with a transfer of mass to change the center of mass of the vehicle and are used to transport the vehicle. The successive angular motions of the vehicle around its changing center of mass achieves a resultant linear motion of the vehicle in the desired direction of travel.

AI Physics Analysis

The device is an internal mechanism that attempts to propel a vehicle by moving and rotating masses inside it. This violates Newton's third law and the conservation of momentum, as a closed system cannot generate a net external force to accelerate its own center of mass.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Violates conservation of linear momentum. Internal torques and mass shifts cannot produce a net external force for sustained linear propulsion.
  • Misapplies gyroscopic precession; torque from changing a flywheel's axis is internal to the vehicle and cannot provide net translational force.
  • Describes a closed system (vehicle+internal moving parts) attempting to achieve net center-of-mass acceleration without external reaction.

AbstractA thruster for propelling and directing a vehicle without interacting with its environment without using propellant and particularly adapted for use in space, comprising rotating means having a pair of a first and a second axes of rotation, connectable to the vehicle such that each of the first and second axes of rotation extends opposite to each other with respect to a center of mass of the vehicle. The thruster is also provided with actuator means for actuating a first and a second rotational movement of the rotating means respectively around each of the first and second axis of rotation. The first rotational movement is actuated in a clockwise direction thereby generating a first reacting torque in a counter-clockwise direction that causes a pivotal movement of the vehicle around the first axis of rotation in the counter-clockwise direction. The second rotational movement is actuated in a counter-clockwise direction thereby generating a second reacting torque in a clockwise direction that causes a pivotal movement of the vehicle around the second axis of rotation in the clockwise direction. The thruster is also provided with a control mechanism to control and coordinate the actuator means to impart propulsion and direction to the vehicle. In a further embodiment, the thruster is enclosed. In a further embodiment, the thruster allows to spin the vehicle. A method for propelling and directing a vehicle without interacting with its environment is also disclosed.

AI Physics Analysis

The device uses internal rotating masses to generate opposing torques. While this can change the vehicle's orientation (attitude), internal forces cannot create a net external force for linear propulsion. This is a fundamental violation of Newton's third law and conservation of momentum for a closed system.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Violates conservation of linear momentum. Internal torques cancel, producing zero net external force.
  • Describes a reaction wheel/control moment gyro system for attitude control, mislabeled as a propulsion device.

USPTO Abstract

AbstractThis invention relates to propulsion systems for driving a space vehicle.The main element of the propulsion system is an elongated hollow tube that is open at one end and closed at the other end. Inside near the closed end there is a jet engine, a heater for raising the temperature of a gas, a gaseous substance, a gas compressor and a means of generating a directional force. The said force is directed towards the closed end of the tube. The means adapted to provide the said force may be electrostatic force, or it may be centrifugal force generated by spinning the whole unit. The said force causes the gas to collect at the closed end of the tube. The gas is first compressed and then heated to a high temperature in a container. Then the hot high-pressure gas is introduced to the jet engine, which directs the exhaust gas towards the open end of the tube. Two extra forces result, the main one being the push from the jet engine. The other force derives from the cooling gases circulating down the walls of the tube to the closed end of the tube, where a change in the direction of momentum causes an additional force. both extra forces are directed towards the closed end of the tube. There are no opposing forces because the other end of the tube is open to space.

AI Physics Analysis

The device is a reactionless drive, attempting to generate net thrust by manipulating fluids and forces entirely inside a container. This violates Newton's third law and the conservation of momentum, as a closed system cannot accelerate its center of mass using only internal forces, regardless of how gas is compressed, heated, or circulated.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Violates Newton's Third Law (action-reaction) by claiming net thrust from internal forces in a closed system.
  • Centrifugal force is an internal, frame-dependent force; it cannot create a net external force on the system.
  • The description suggests creating a net momentum change (thrust) solely through manipulation of internal mass and energy, which is impossible for a system not ejecting propellant externally.
  • The 'cooling gases circulating down the walls' causing an 'additional force' is a vague mechanism that contradicts momentum conservation.

AI Physics Analysis

The patent describes a device that allegedly creates a buoyant force ('floating force') solely by arranging magnetic fields within a plasma. This claims to produce useful mechanical work (lift) without an identifiable external energy source, directly violating the first law of thermodynamics. The use of correct physics terms (plasma, magnetic field) in an incoherent, non-quantitative context is a hallmark of pseudoscientific claims.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Violates energy conservation: Generating a sustained buoyant force (potential/kinetic energy output) requires continuous energy input. The described mechanism of magnetic field separation in a plasma does not constitute an energy source.
  • Violates thermodynamics: Claims to generate a net force (buoyancy) without an identifiable external energy gradient or sink for the associated entropy increase.
  • Obfuscated mechanism: 'Buoyant flying body' created by magnetic field geometry in a plasma is physically incoherent. Buoyancy requires a density difference with a surrounding medium, not just an internal magnetic field configuration.

Unclear. Claims involve storing energy in a mass via acceleration, then recovering it, purportedly yielding a net 'energy saving' (Kosmos-Energie). The process implies energy output exceeds the net input, suggesting a violation of conservation.

The patent claim fundamentally violates established physics by asserting masses can be accelerated beyond light speed and that a cyclic process of acceleration and deceleration can yield a net 'energy saving.' It explicitly rejects special relativity and conservation laws, placing it in the realm of perpetual motion.

USPTO Abstract

AbstractThe present invention relates to a method to produce and utilize propulsion forces on objects or devices by the controlled release of energy derived from absorbed radiation. The direction of the propulsion forces is controlled by controlling the rotation, configuration and composition of the absorber. Apparatuses are provided that comprise a rotating absorber and means to control the direction of the required thrust forces by adjusting the rotation, temperature, position of absorbing members, amount and kind of storing substance, by selective shading of the rotating absorber and re-directing the released energy once emitted.

AI Physics Analysis

The device claims to generate controlled thrust by absorbing and re-radiating ambient energy. However, the momentum imparted by absorbing radiation is exactly canceled by the momentum imparted when re-radiating it, resulting in zero net thrust. This is a fundamental violation of conservation of momentum.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Proposes net thrust from isotropic radiation pressure or particle repulsion, violating conservation of momentum in a closed system.
  • Claims directional thrust control via rotation and selective release, ignoring that the emitted radiation/particles impart equal and opposite momentum to the device.
  • No mechanism described to create a net momentum imbalance from an ambient, isotropic energy source without expelling onboard reaction mass.

The device is a motor-driven mechanical system with a tilting mass. Centrifugal forces are internal reaction forces within the system; their configuration cannot produce net thrust or excess energy. The claim violates Newton's laws by suggesting internal forces can create net propulsion or energy multiplication, constituting a classical perpetual motion violation.

Specific Physics Issues

Unclear. Implied to be electrical input to create charges/fields, but the described mechanism for producing a net force (propulsion) suggests an attempt to extract work from internal system energy or from the interaction of fields without an external reaction mass or asymmetric external field gradient.

AI Physics Analysis

The claim describes an internal electromagnetic configuration intended to produce a net force (e.g., for spacecraft propulsion) without expelling propellant. This violates conservation of momentum, as internal forces cannot accelerate a system's center of mass. The use of terms like 'different inertial reference frames' obfuscates this fundamental violation.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Violates Newton's third law (action-reaction) for propulsion. A closed electromagnetic system cannot produce a net force on its center of mass without expelling reaction mass or interacting with an external field.
  • Incomplete force accounting. Forces between internal components (conductors, magnetic materials) are internal forces that sum to zero for the assembly as a whole.

This is impossible under conservation of energy and our understanding of gravity as a conservative force field.

Specific Physics Issues

Electrical input from the control and power module to spin gyroscopes and cluster disks. No other energy source is described, and the claimed 'anti-gravity' propulsion implies the generation of a net lifting force from internal rotations alone.

AI Physics Analysis

The device claims to produce lift and propulsion through internal gyroscopic motion alone, which violates conservation of momentum. Gyroscopes can reorient an object but cannot provide a net force to accelerate its center of mass without expelling reaction mass or pushing against an external field.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Claims 'anti-gravity' propulsion with no external reaction mass or momentum exchange mechanism.
  • Gyroscopic precession produces internal torques, not a net external force for sustained translation or lift.
  • Violates Newton's third law (conservation of momentum); device cannot create a net force on its center of mass using only internal moving parts.
  • Misapplication of gyroscopic physics; precession is a torque-induced change in orientation, not a source of linear acceleration.

US20020018333A1  •  95% confidence
VIOLATION
Claimed Energy Source

Electrical input from power supplies and mechanical input from the drive source for rotation.

AI Physics Analysis

The device claims to generate a gravitational force/field using only rotating electromagnetic components, which would create a propulsive effect without expelling reaction mass. This violates conservation of momentum. The description uses physics-like terms ('charge dipole', 'vibration') in a vague, non-standard way to obfuscate the lack of a credible mechanism for coupling to gravity.

Specific Physics Issues
  • No mechanism linking described electromagnetic/mechanical system to generation of a novel gravitational field.
  • Invokes undefined concepts like 'charge dipole vibration' and its rotation producing gravity with no theoretical foundation.
  • Claims a new force (gravity) without identifying an energy source for that force field or a reaction force, violating Newton's 3rd law and energy conservation if it produces net thrust.

US20240262537A1  •  95% confidence
VIOLATION
Claimed Energy Source

Unclear. Implicitly from the rotational kinetic energy of flywheels, which itself must be supplied by an external power source. The claim suggests this stored rotational energy can produce a net upward force (anti-gravity) or thrust without a corresponding reaction mass or momentum exchange.

AI Physics Analysis

The core claim of achieving levitation or propulsion via internal flywheel rotation violates Newton's laws of motion. Centrifugal forces are internal and balanced; they cannot produce a net external force on the isolated system. Any thrust generated via atmospheric interaction (Claim 2) is a conventional, lossy reaction drive, not a new levitation principle.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Claim 1 violates Newton's 3rd Law: A purely internal rotating mass cannot produce a net external force on its center of mass. The centrifugal force is an internal, frame-dependent force that sums to zero within the system.
  • Claim 2 misapplies drag: Using a flywheel to 'grab' the atmosphere for thrust is a reaction drive, but it would impart an equal and opposite drag torque on the flywheel, rapidly slowing it and requiring continuous massive energy input to maintain rot
  • Claim 3 incorrectly applies orbital mechanics to a non-orbital scenario: Changing rotational speed of internal flywheels does not place a craft into an 'elliptical orbit' within a gravity field; orbital dynamics require specific translational velocit

Claimed Energy Source

Electrical input to create magnetic field and current in wire. Claims to convert this electrical energy into kinetic energy (thrust) with >50% efficiency.

AI Physics Analysis

The device describes a fixed magnet and fixed current-carrying wire inside a sealed container, claiming this configuration produces a net thrust to accelerate the container. This violates Newton's third law and conservation of momentum, as internal electromagnetic forces cancel out within a closed system. The efficiency claim is obfuscated, comparing to jet propulsion in a physically invalid way.

Specific Physics Issues
  • No identifiable external energy gradient or reaction mass for propulsion.
  • Claim of >50% 'energy conversion efficiency' for propulsion is meaningless without defining the useful work against a reaction force.
  • Describes a static magnetic field acting on a current-carrying wire fixed relative to it, which by Lorentz force law (F = I L × B) results in zero net internal force/momentum for a closed system.
  • Appears to be an attempted 'closed-box' propulsion device, violating Newton's third law/conservation of momentum.

Claimed Energy Source

The propulsion means (6) provides the primary input energy to move the solid mass (5). The asymmetric drag profile and repulsion mechanism (spring or magnet) are claimed to create a differential energy conversion.

AI Physics Analysis

This device is a closed system where an internal mass is moved back and forth. The asymmetric drag and repulsion mechanisms only affect how energy is dissipated within the system; they cannot produce a net force or energy output greater than the input from the propulsion means, making it a form of perpetual motion machine.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Violates Newton's third law and conservation of momentum within a closed system.
  • Asymmetric drag in a viscous fluid dissipates energy; it cannot create a net force or energy gain in a closed cycle.
  • The system attempts to extract net work from internal motions in a closed chamber, which is thermodynamically impossible without an external gradient.

Unclear. Claims to use electrical input to spin rotors, but implies generation of net thrust/acceleration without reaction mass or external gradient. Mentions inductive energy generation from rotating magnets, suggesting possible attempt at energy recycling.

AI Physics Analysis

The device attempts to create net linear thrust using only internal moving masses and braking mechanisms, which violates conservation of momentum. No external reaction mass or gradient is described, making it a reactionless drive, which is physically impossible for propelling an object's center of mass.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Violates Newton's Third Law (action-reaction) - describes creating thrust for object movement in space without expelling reaction mass.
  • Violates conservation of momentum - system of internal moving masses cannot produce net external acceleration on its center of mass.
  • Energy accounting incomplete - electrical input for acceleration vs. braking cycles not quantified; implied net work output from internal cyclic motions.
  • Gyroscopic moments canceling does not create net force - zero net angular momentum ≠ net linear force.

VIOLATION
Claimed Energy Source

Unclear. Implied source is electrical current for the rings and static charges for the condensers. The claimed propulsive force is said to come from interaction with the Earth's static magnetic field, which is not an energy source that can be tapped for net work without an external gradient or a change in the field.

AI Physics Analysis

The claim violates fundamental mechanics by asserting that repelling or attracting the Earth's static magnetic field can produce net propulsion. A magnetic field is a potential field; you cannot 'push' against it to get a net reaction force for propulsion without an external energy source or expelling mass.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Violates Newton's Third Law: The apparatus proposes to generate a net force by repelling/attracting the Earth's magnetic field, but a magnetic field is not a physical object that can be 'pushed' to provide a reaction force. The magnetic force on the
  • Violates Energy Conservation: Implies sustained propulsion (work) can be derived from a static potential field (Earth's magnetic field) without an associated energy sink or gradient. This is analogous to extracting net work from a gravitational field
  • Incomplete Force Analysis: The described magnetic interactions would result in torques and forces that sum to zero for the isolated system, not in a net directional thrust.

Claimed Energy Source

Primarily the on-board battery and generator. The claim implicitly attempts to use the Earth's electric field and the energy of a 'Bottom-up Discharge' as an external source, but the mechanism for extracting net work from this is invalid.

AI Physics Analysis

The device claims to generate lift by repelling from its own induced ground charge, which is an internal force and violates Newton's third law. The description uses correct-sounding terms (ionization, electromagnetic waves) in a nonsensical way to obfuscate a fundamental violation of momentum conservation.

Specific Physics Issues
  • The described 'Bottom-up Discharge' is not a recognized physical phenomenon that can be harnessed for net propulsion. It misapplies electrostatic and electromagnetic concepts.
  • The system claims to create thrust via repulsion between like charges (positive wing and positive 'wave'), but this is an internal electrostatic force within the system (craft + induced ground charge + ionized channel). No net external reaction force
  • Energy accounting is absent. The work done to charge gases, ionize air, and create the discharge channel comes from the battery. Any 'returning wave' would have less energy due to losses, and using it for repulsion does not create a closed momentum-c

Unclear. Mentions atomic reactors as components, but the core claim is that a specific arrangement of rotating masses (plasmas, fluids, turbines) in a 'synchronical movement' generates a directional acceleration principle, implying propulsion without reaction mass.

AI Physics Analysis

The device claims to produce directional acceleration (thrust) from internal rotating components powered by reactors, which violates conservation of momentum. It is a reactionless drive, a concept impossible under Newtonian and relativistic physics, dressed in complex but vague theoretical language.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Violates Newton's third law (action-reaction). Claims to generate net directional acceleration (thrust) from an internal, closed system of rotating masses.
  • No identifiable external energy gradient or momentum sink. The described atomic reactors are power sources, but do not solve the conservation of momentum problem.
  • Uses complex, obfuscating terminology ('direction acceleration principle', 'synchronical movement') to describe what is effectively a reactionless drive.

The only explicit energy source is the 'drive mechanism mounted on the housing'. This is an internal actuator powered by an unspecified external source (e.g., electricity). The claim implies this internal force can generate a net thrust on the housing.

AI Physics Analysis

The described device is an internal reaction wheel system. Applying an internal torque to spin a rotor creates equal and opposite angular momentum in the housing, resulting in zero net linear thrust on the isolated system. It is a classic 'reactionless drive' claim that violates Newton's laws of motion.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Violates Newton's Third Law (action-reaction). The drive mechanism imparts an internal force between the ring rotor and the housing, creating equal and opposite internal torques/momenta, resulting in zero net external force (thrust) on the system's c
  • Incomplete force accounting. The reaction force from the drive mechanism on the housing is ignored or misrepresented as a net thrust.

AI Physics Analysis

The design incorporates a fictional gravity generator ('graviton'), violating known physics. While the solar-thermal and waste incineration thrust concepts have a real energy source, the claimed performance for high-speed interplanetary travel is implausible with a low-specific-impulse propellant like steam, indicating a fundamental misunderstanding of rocket propulsion.

Specific Physics Issues
  • 'Graviton' integration for artificial gravity is a fictional/undefined technology with no known physical mechanism.
  • Claim of 'high speeds between planets' with a solar-thermal steam rocket is implausible; specific impulse of steam is far too low for practical interplanetary travel.

Vague reference to 'outer space energy resources, such as sunlight' for powering the tunnel. No description of how sunlight is converted to the electrical energy needed for electromagnetic propulsion over interplanetary distances.

AI Physics Analysis

The described system violates fundamental principles of orbital mechanics, material science, and Newton's laws of motion. The concept of a fixed physical tunnel between planets is impossible, and the propulsion description lacks a coherent mechanism for providing thrust without violating conservation of momentum.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Implies a physical 'tunnel' spanning between planetary bodies, which is mechanically impossible due to orbital dynamics, gravitational forces, and material strength limits.
  • Claims propulsion via 'motional EMF' between rings, but provides no mechanism for how this system accelerates a vehicle to interplanetary velocities without an external reaction mass or violates Newton's third law.

Electrical input to charge capacitors and power rotating/oscillating components. Implicitly attempts to use spacetime's gravitational energy or exotic matter effects.

AI Physics Analysis

The patent claims violate established physics by proposing that simple capacitor arrangements can generate the spacetime curvature required for an Alcubierre warp drive. General Relativity does not permit the generation of significant (or 'negative') curvature through such electrostatic configurations, and the required exotic matter cannot be substituted by oscillating charges.

Specific Physics Issues

The claim proposes reducing a craft's inertial mass—a fundamental property in mechanics—using microwave cavities and vibration, but provides no physically coherent mechanism or connection to established theory. The terminology is misapplied, creating a veneer of plausibility while describing an effect that would violate conservation of momentum and energy as currently understood.

Specific Physics Issues
  • No mechanism described for inertial mass reduction; 'local polarized vacuum' is undefined and not a recognized physical state that reduces mass.

The claim violates fundamental physics by proposing to generate net propulsion energy from internal motions ('gravitational induction') without consuming fuel or interacting with an external energy gradient.

Energy beam propulsion system
US9938026B1  •  85% confidence
QUESTIONABLE
Inventor: Michelle CorningFiled: 2018-04-10
USPTO Abstract

AbstractA spacecraft is propelled by a high energy beam propulsion device that emits a high energy beam, such as a neutron beam, from the spacecraft. The high energy beam propulsion device has a neutron beam source and a neutron beam generator that emits the neutron beam through a magnetic coil. The magnetic coil may be a discrete coil or extend over a length of the neutron beam length. The magnetic coil may be self-contained and utilize natural magnets or may be a powered magnet, wherein the magnetic field is produced by a flow of electrical current. The neutron source may be powered or self-contained and utilizes neutron emitting materials including Californium-252, Cesium-137, and Polonium-Beryllium.

AI Physics Analysis

The concept describes a reaction drive using emitted neutrons, which obeys Newton's third law. However, it is highly questionable due to impractical energy requirements, ineffective use of magnetic fields with neutral particles, and no credible mechanism for the claimed 'regulation' of the beam. It is likely non-viable, but not a fundamental physics violation.

Specific Physics Issues
  • No violation of conservation of momentum or energy in principle, as beam emission provides thrust.
  • Extremely low thrust-to-power ratio expected; neutrons are massive but require enormous energy to produce or contain.
  • Practical feasibility is near-zero: neutron shielding mass, beam divergence, and energy efficiency would be catastrophically poor.
  • Magnetic coil's role in 'regulating' a neutral neutron beam is physically unclear; neutrons have negligible magnetic moment.

USPTO Abstract

AbstractA gravitational theory used to design spacecraft, the theory allows for lower power high payload space launches, low inertial acceleration in deep space. Software that governs the management and navigation of said designed space crafts.

AI Physics Analysis

The claim provides no details on the energy source or propulsion mechanism, relying solely on an unspecified new theory. Without a clear description of how energy is sourced, converted, and conserved, it is impossible to evaluate its thermodynamic validity, making it highly questionable.

Specific Physics Issues
  • No identifiable energy source or conversion process described
  • Claims of 'low power - high payload' and 'low inertial acceleration' are vague and lack quantitative performance metrics
  • Relies on an unspecified, non-standard gravitational theory without connection to established conservation laws

AI Physics Analysis

The device is a complex gyroscopic system where braking an oscillating body is claimed to transfer momentum to the housing. While internal momentum transfer is possible, it cannot create net propulsion in a closed system without expelling reaction mass or interacting with an external field. The patent lacks a clear energy accounting that shows how net thrust is generated without violating conservation of momentum.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Claim implies net thrust/force generation on the housing via internal braking, which is a momentum transfer, not a net energy source.
  • System appears to be a complex gyroscopic assembly; net momentum change of the closed system must be zero unless external forces act.
  • Energy accounting is unclear: input energy goes into spinning masses and overcoming friction, while braking converts rotational energy to heat, not useful propulsion.
A device for the generation of lift
WO2014072848A1  •  85% confidence
QUESTIONABLE
Inventor: Angelo Raffaele ALTERIOFiled: 2014-05-15
USPTO Abstract

AbstractThe present invention refers to a device (1) for the generation of lift and comprising: - A rotor (2', 2'') rotating around a rotation axis (4), the rotor comprising a plurality of radial tracks (10) inside of which masses (15) are slidingly arranged so that, following the set in rotation of the rotor, said masses translate by centrifugal force along said tracks towards the periphery of the rotor; - A stator (3) arranged with respect to the rotor in such a way that, during the rotation of the rotor, the masses projected along the tracks towards the external part of the rotor are bound to follow a profile (18) of the stator (3); - And wherein the profile (18) of the stator is such that each mass (15), during the rotation of the rotor, varies its distance with respect to the rotation axis (4) of the rotor reciprocating along the radial track (10) in such a way that at least a first part of the masses is found at a distance (dl) from the rotation axis (4) that is greater with respect to at least a second part of masses so as to create a difference (Δ) of centrifugal force (F) along a direction.

AI Physics Analysis

The device uses a motor to spin a rotor with sliding masses constrained by a stator. While this creates asymmetric internal centrifugal forces, these are internal reaction forces that cancel out within the system. For the aircraft to experience lift, an external net force must act on it, which this internal mechanism cannot provide without pushing against an external medium like air.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Claimed net lift generation from internal force redistribution violates Newton's third law for a closed system.
  • No clear external reaction medium (e.g., air, fluid) to provide a net external upward force on the aircraft.
  • Internal centrifugal forces sum to zero net force vector on the device's center of mass in an inertial frame.

AI Physics Analysis

The device describes using a laser to heat a propellant for thrust, which is physically possible in principle. However, the description is obfuscated with undefined, pseudo-technical terms and lacks a coherent mechanism, placing it in the realm of speculative invention rather than a clear, physically sound design.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Extremely vague mechanism: 'nonlinear laser beams', 'laser-induced flows', and 'resonance-controlled laser flows' are undefined and lack a clear physical conversion process.
  • No quantitative performance claims, making thermodynamic limit analysis impossible.
  • Mixing of disparate concepts (laser heating, microwaves, ceramic parts, pulse operation) without a coherent working principle.
  • The core claim of energy conversion 'in an open ceramic part' is physically unclear. An open ceramic cannot contain pressure for efficient thrust generation.

USPTO Abstract

AbstractWe could connect platforms to fiber optic cable(s) from below (insulated or not insulated with reflective materials, possibly magnified) large enough to power (and also push up) a platform to levitate - when there is no sun for alternate free power. The laser can 1) be used to send and receive data at high speeds (or the satellite/platform can use microwaves), 2) be used to power the satellite. The laser can have a pivot/swivel and targeting system;should platform veer a little from its hover position.We could also connect wind turbines (light spinning blades) connected by conducting cables at intervals all the way from the low orbital satellite down to the ground to generate power for laser or upwards to power the satellite's thrust.There could be mylar flapping wings, or helicopter blades, or four bladed helicopters or internal propellers.The platform could be made of the same material as microfiche or plastic or both.Calculator solar panels covering above and below face, surface of entire platform to convert sunlight to energy (light weighted) batteries.Additionally the bottom of the platform could also be made of calculator solar panels where land (ground level) surrounding the platform's location up above are below large rows of rotating (to aim possibly with RFID, RFIP GPS, micro chip - to direct the reflected sunlight directly at the platform's bottom solar panels) reflective (eg. mirrors) to reflect sunlight to the bottom of the platform (good for desert).If the platform's calculator's solar panels are wide enough the satellite may be able to maintain height.Then we could use 3 - D gyroscope as well as (micro chip to maintain same position), eg.when winds blow... and even lower back to ground when wind gusts are too strong.To power the lasers below we could build Gravity Chain Machines and/or solar or wind farms.This platform could be used as low orbital satellites.Or the platform could be used for elevator to space.We could use elastic tether and an

AI Physics Analysis

The concept proposes a levitating platform but obfuscates the primary energy source required to overcome gravity. It conflates methods for delivering electrical power to the platform (lasers, tethers) with methods for generating lift, while ignoring the colossal power difference between them. The accounting fails to show how the net energy input exceeds the potential energy gain and continuous loss, making sustained levitation unfeasible as described.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Severe incomplete energy accounting: Laser 'pushing up' platform implies photon pressure, which is negligible compared to power required for levitation against gravity.
  • Wind turbines on a tether connecting ground to a 'low orbital' platform would experience minimal wind gradient; extracting net power to lift the platform violates conservation.
  • Confusion between energy delivery (laser powering satellite) and providing lift (photon pressure vs. powered thrust).
  • Proposal treats energy for communications, station-keeping, and lift as interchangeable without quantifying the massive power deficit for sustained levitation.
  • 'Gravity Chain Machines' is a nonsensical term with no defined physics mechanism.

While the mechanical arrangement itself doesn't inherently violate conservation laws, the omission of the energy source and propulsion mechanism makes the claims physically incomplete and questionable.

Specific Physics Issues
  • No identifiable energy source for propulsion
  • Mechanical arrangement (rotating lines, gimbals, sealed containers) does not inherently generate net propulsion in free space without reaction mass
  • Claims describe a 'propulsion force generation device' but omit the energy conversion mechanism and reaction principle

Claimed Energy Source

Electrical input to six independent drive motors (10-15) that rotate the masses and actuate the gimbal frames.

AI Physics Analysis

The device is a complex, motor-controlled dual-gyroscope system. While the described motions are kinematically possible, the claims in the method (claims 3-6) that these internal torque manipulations can produce a net linear motion of the entire system's center of mass violate the conservation of linear momentum. The energy source is clearly the motors, but the claimed output is physically impossible for a closed system.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Claim suggests net linear motion of the system's center of mass can result from internal torques and precession. This contradicts Newton's third law and the conservation of momentum for an isolated system. Internal forces cannot produce net accelerat
  • The description of manipulating precession 'around a point outside the center of mass' is mechanically possible but cannot generate net propulsion without an external reaction force.
  • Energy accounting for the claimed 'linear motion' is incomplete; any motion of the base unit would require external reaction forces.

QUESTIONABLE
Inventor: Clarence S. BlakesleyFiled: 2002-05-28
USPTO Abstract

AbstractA control device for an object includes a first wheel and a second wheel that rotate in opposite directions on a shaft affixed to a frame. The first and second wheels have openings to accept magnets that are free to slide up and down in the openings. As the wheels rotate, the magnets are urged outwards due to centrifugal force. The wheels have titanium sleeves fitted around the outer surfaces of the wheels, which have openings smaller in size than the openings of the wheels, so as to maintain the magnets within the openings even as the wheels rotate. Solenoid stations are provided around the wheels, and as a result of magnetic pulses provided from at least one of the solenoid stations, in synchronism with rotation of the wheels, a magnet is urged inwards to a center of the wheel in which it is disposed, to thereby result in a force vector that causes movement of the frame to thereby control the object.

AI Physics Analysis

The device uses electrical energy to move magnets within rotating wheels. The described 'force vector' likely results from an internal momentum transfer that cancels out within the closed system, not a net external thrust. The claim obscures this by focusing on 'weight distribution change' without a rigorous conservation of momentum analysis.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Incomplete force analysis: The claimed 'force vector' on the frame is likely an internal reaction force. Repelling a magnet inward with a solenoid creates an equal and opposite force on the solenoid station, which is attached to the same frame, resul
  • Energy accounting omission: The work done by the solenoid pulse to repel the magnet inward against centrifugal force is electrical energy input. Any resulting motion would come from converting this input energy, not from creating net momentum.
  • Vague mechanism: 'Weight distribution change' creating a net force vector is misleading. A rotating system with moving internal masses (magnets) experiences changing centripetal forces, but the net linear momentum of the isolated system remains zero
Flying craft with water and air propulsion source

QUESTIONABLE
Inventor: Von Friedrich C. PaterroFiled: 2001-09-18
USPTO Abstract

AbstractA propulsion system for a flying craft uses an air and water fuel source to provide propulsion thrust. The system includes two steam generating units, one attached directly to a compact turbine and the other connected to a compressor. The compressor compresses the steam from the latter steam generator, including excess steam from the turbine generator, and pumps it to a super-heated steam compression chamber. At the same time, the turbine generator powers another compressor to take in air from the atmosphere and pumps it into a super chilled compression chamber. After both the compressed super-heated steam and the compressed super chilled air have attained required pressure, volume and temperature, both gases are fed into an expansion chamber under appropriate control. The expansion chamber operates as a rocket booster and is equipped with an exhaust system made up of a main nozzle and several auxiliary thrust vectoring nozzles. Reactionary forces within the expansion chamber, caused by expansion of the chilled steam, cause thrust and generated heat. The generated heat heats the chilled compressed air within the gas expansion chamber, causing expansion of the chilled air, providing further thrust. The exhaust system controls exiting of the expanding gases to control and vector the thrust. Preferably, the heat source for the system is one or more nuclear reactors.

AI Physics Analysis

The system's energy ultimately comes from the nuclear heat source, so it doesn't violate conservation laws. However, its described operation is thermodynamically questionable, obscuring massive losses and omitting the energy cost of chilling, making its claimed performance and practicality highly dubious.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Extremely complex and lossy energy conversion chain (thermal -> mechanical -> compression -> expansion) with no efficiency analysis.
  • Vague thermodynamic cycle; the claimed thrust mechanism (superheated steam expanding, heating chilled air to cause further expansion) suggests internal energy transfers that do not create net additional work beyond the initial heat input.
  • The chilling mechanism for the air compression chamber requires an energy input not accounted for in the system description.
  • The system appears to be an overly complicated, indirect method of using a heat source to produce a jet, likely with far lower efficiency than a direct thermodynamic cycle (e.g., a Brayton or Rankine cycle).

Unclear. The claims describe mechanical components (nozzles, shafts, electric motors, belts) but do not specify a primary energy input (e.g., fuel, electricity, external pressure gradient). The term 'burner' implies combustion, but no fuel, oxidizer, or ignition system is described.

AI Physics Analysis

The patent claims describe a complex mechanical assembly but fail to identify the fundamental source of energy required to perform work. The system appears to be driven by electric motors, making it a consumer of electrical energy, not a novel generator of propulsion from a vacuum. The omission of the energy source and the thermodynamic process makes the claims physically incomplete and questionable.

Specific Physics Issues
  • No identifiable energy conversion process or primary energy source is specified.
  • Claims focus entirely on mechanical arrangement (truncated cones, shafts, motors, belts) without explaining the thermodynamic cycle or force generation mechanism.
  • The title mentions 'super heated high pressure gas swirl' but the claims provide no method to generate this heat or pressure.
  • The system appears to use electric motors to drive components, suggesting the electrical input is the real energy source, but this is obfuscated.
Spaceship to harness radiations in interstellar flights
US5058833A  •  85% confidence
QUESTIONABLE
Inventor: William J. CarmoucheFiled: 1991-10-22
USPTO Abstract

AbstractA spaceship is provided with a freely spinning propeller mounted on the front end. The propeller significantly reduces resistance to flight and also deflects space particles which might otherwise slow the craft. The sides of the spacecraft have ridges which are coated on the front side with radiation reflecting material and on the back side with radiation absorbing material. The resultant force of radiations being absorbed from the rear and reflected from the front propels the spacecraft forward.

AI Physics Analysis

The device does not explicitly violate energy conservation, as it attempts to use ambient radiation. However, it severely misrepresents the scale of the available forces; radiation pressure in interstellar space is utterly insignificant for spacecraft propulsion. The propeller serves no credible function in a vacuum, indicating a fundamental misunderstanding of the environment.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Radiation pressure from isotropic interstellar radiation fields is negligible for propulsion (force ~10^-9 N/m^2).
  • An isotropic radiation field exerts zero net force on a symmetric, static object; the proposed asymmetric coating creates a radiation pressure gradient, but the claimed effect is many orders of magnitude too small for meaningful propulsion.
  • The freely spinning propeller's claimed function to 'reduce resistance to flight' and 'deflect space particles' in a near-perfect vacuum is physically nonsensical; there is no fluid or particulate medium to provide significant drag or require deflect

Unclear. Mentions 'NAS-Triebwerken' (NAS engines) and 'SUNEES' energy sources, but provides no description of their operating principle, fuel, or energy input. Possibly implies an unspecified novel propulsion system.

AI Physics Analysis

The patent describes a flight vehicle configuration but fails to define the core propulsion and energy systems (NAS, SUNEES), preventing any physics-based analysis of energy conservation or thermodynamic limits. The claims are structurally and operationally vague, placing it in the 'questionable' category due to insufficient information to assess validity.

Specific Physics Issues
  • No description of propulsion mechanism or energy source violates energy accounting principles.
  • Claim that vehicle axis remains perpendicular to surface on a celestial body with no gravity is mechanically ambiguous without a defined reference frame or force.
  • Relies on undefined 'NAS-Triebwerken' and 'SUNEES' with no physical operating principle provided.

AI Physics Analysis

The patent describes a flying vehicle with solar panels for electrical power, which is valid.

Inventor: Edward F. MarwickFiled: 1988-10-04
USPTO Abstract

AbstractGreatly reduced cost of extraterrestrial transporation of strong items and materials is obtained through the use of impact into a crash-capturing-containing facility for deceleration. Cargoes from both the Earth and Moon can be cheaply crash-transported to a low earth orbit crash-load-capturing-satellite so that the satellite maintains a somewhat constant low earth orbit. By crash-capturing only lunar materials, the crash-containing satellite can also become a cargo-transporting satellite that travels from low earth orbit and delivers a much greater quantity of materials to a higher earth orbiting station that it started with. By crash-capturing only retrograde highly elliptically orbiting lunar material, that cargo-transporting satellite can be moved from a high earth orbit back to a low earth orbit.

AI Physics Analysis

The core concept of momentum exchange via high-speed capture is physically valid in principle, but the description in the abstract suggests a misunderstanding of orbital mechanics, implying net gains. The deceleration method, while not thermodynamically impossible, is an extreme engineering challenge that borders on physically impractical for the proposed velocities and mass scales.

Unclear. The patent references another application (P 31 00 032.0-22) for the fundamental motor design, but no primary energy input (electrical, chemical, etc.) is specified in the provided claims. The description focuses on phasing and control of multiple motors.

AI Physics Analysis

The patent claims describe a control system for phasing multiple motors but completely omit the description of the fundamental energy source and conversion mechanism, deferring to a separate patent. Without the core mechanism, it is impossible to perform energy accounting or check thermodynamic limits, making the claims inherently questionable from a physics compliance perspective.

QUESTIONABLE
Inventor: William J HooperFiled: 1971-10-05
USPTO Abstract

AbstractThis invention relates to an all-electric generator yielding a motional electric field in the space surrounding the device, but requiring no mechanical movements of its parts in generating this field. The Theory underlying the production of such a field postulates that each moving electron constituting the current in a linear conductor carries with it a loop of magnetic field energy about it.

AI Physics Analysis

The device uses electrical input energy but describes a physically ambiguous process for generating an external electric field. The core claim of a 'motional' field without motion and the focus on magnetic flux cancellation without a clear energy conversion mechanism make it questionable and lacking a rigorous physics foundation.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Claim of generating a 'motional electric field' without mechanical motion is physically ambiguous and conflicts with standard electrodynamics (where motional EMF requires conductor motion relative to a magnetic field).
  • Purposeful cancellation of magnetic flux via opposing currents suggests the device aims to produce an electric field while suppressing the familiar magnetic field of a current, a non-standard and unexplained result.
  • No clear mechanism or quantitative relationship is provided for how the input electrical energy is converted into the claimed external electric field energy, making energy accounting impossible.

Unclear from claims. Energy could come from: 1) Internal propulsion of 'exchange masses' (claim 4), 2) Initial kinetic energy imparted to the rotating/oscillating masses, 3) Potential energy stored in the elastic members. No primary external energy source is specified.

AI Physics Analysis

The patent describes influencing a flight body's motion by moving internal 'energy exchange masses' connected via elastic members. While internal moving masses can create oscillatory forces, generating a sustained net propulsion requires expelling reaction mass or interacting with an external field. The claims are vague on the energy source and the complete momentum balance, making the net effect questionable without violating Newton's laws, but the presentation obscures the core physics.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Incomplete energy accounting for net momentum change of the flight body
  • Ambiguous mechanism for generating a net impulse without reaction mass or external field
  • Claim 3 suggests using rotational inertia ('Drehwucht') to enhance impulse, which is a form of stored kinetic energy, not a source of net momentum
  • Claim 5 suggests discarding masses after exchange, implying a form of reaction mass but without clear conservation of momentum analysis for the combined system.

Electrical input to electromagnetic coils and to impart charge to particles (electrons/ions). The working fluid (charged particles) appears to be provided by the system itself, not from an external propellant tank.

AI Physics Analysis

The device appears to be a poorly described or obfuscated electromagnetic thruster (e.g., a type of magnetoplasmadynamic thruster or ion thruster) that requires electrical energy and onboard propellant. It does not explicitly violate conservation laws, but its description is physically incoherent, suggesting thrust from magnetic fields alone without clear accounting for the reaction mass, making its claimed operation questionable.

Specific Physics Issues
  • No clear source for the charged particles being accelerated. If they are from an onboard supply (e.g., ionized gas), this is an ion thruster variant and requires propellant mass ejection. If they are collected from space, the density is extremely low
  • Describes magnetic field shaping but conflates magnetic flux (a field description) with a propulsive fluid. Magnetic fields alone cannot provide thrust; they require interaction with real mass/charge.

AI Physics Analysis

The patent describes an electrically-powered resonant RF heater for a gas flow, which is physically possible as a heating element. However, it is framed as a novel propulsor without providing the necessary energy accounting or performance metrics to prove it doesn't violate thermodynamic limits, relying on technical jargon to obscure a potentially ordinary heating process.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Incomplete energy accounting: Claims focus on electrical input but treat resonant heating as a 'transition frequency heating' process without specifying if the output (propulsive thrust) exceeds the total electrical input energy.
  • Ambiguous performance claims: The abstract and claims imply a novel propulsor but lack quantitative efficiency or thrust data, making thermodynamic limit verification impossible.
  • Concept obfuscation: Uses correct RF engineering terms (SWR, VNA, gyrotron) to describe a heating method, but the core propulsion claim—'supersonic and hypersonic propulsor'—is disconnected from the described component assembly.

Claimed Energy Source

The primary energy source is ambiguous. The lighter-than-air gas (hydrogen/helium) provides buoyant lift, which is a potential energy derived from Earth's gravitational field and the density gradient of the atmosphere. The claim that this gas can be directed to 'power' the airplane/spacecraft suggests its use as a chemical fuel (hydrogen) or a pressurized working fluid, implying an internal energy source beyond just buoyancy.

AI Physics Analysis

The concept is not a fundamental physics violation, as using hydrogen for both lift and combustion is physically possible. However, the patent claims are presented in a way that suggests energy multiplication—implying the buoyant ascent somehow 'charges' the gas for free to be used later for propulsion, which ignores the separate energy required to compress or combust the gas. The physics is obfuscated by vague language.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Incomplete energy accounting: Using stored gas for propulsion requires energy input to compress it. The buoyant lift phase does not add net energy to the gas itself for later propulsive use.

Electrical input current (explicit). Potential ambient magnetic field (implicit, but unclear if it provides energy or just a configuration bias).

AI Physics Analysis

The device appears to be an electromagnetic actuator. The description uses correct physics terms (Lorentz force, magnetization) but the central claim of achieving a 'net' driving force is physically questionable for a closed system. Without a clear external reaction mass or an asymmetric interaction with an external field gradient, the net force on the device's center of mass should be zero, making its utility as a drive device highly suspect.

The method describes a circular energy system where 'loads' have their energy restored on other spacecraft for reuse, implying energy recycling without loss. This violates the second law of thermodynamics. While it attempts to use ambient atmospheric energy, the overall scheme lacks a clear, net external energy input to sustain the claimed circulation and compensation of losses.

  • No energy accounting for the work done against gravity to elevate and sustain an object.
  • Implies sustained elevation without specifying a continuous energy input or a thermodynamic cycle.
  • Uses 'gravimetric field' in a manner inconsistent with known physics, as we cannot generate or control gravity fields for propulsion.
  • Claims non-contact manipulation without clarifying the reaction forces or momentum conservation (e.g., what provides the equal and opposite reaction?).

Electrical input to the anode to generate the electric field, and energy to operate the propellant provider. The 'external electron source' (cathode) also requires an energy input to emit electrons.

AI Physics Analysis

The patent describes a configuration of magnetic and electric fields for plasma propulsion but is technically vague and obscures the well-understood physics of such thrusters. While not claiming impossible performance, its obfuscating language and incomplete description of the energy and particle flow make it questionable, requiring scrutiny of any implied performance claims not included in this excerpt.

Specific Physics Issues
  • Claim is a structural description, not a performance claim, so no explicit thermodynamic violation is stated.
  • The description is vague on the core operating principle and energy flow. It mentions constraining electrons via a 'magnetic field loop' but does not explain how this configuration produces net thrust.
  • The system appears to be a type of Hall-effect or electron-cyclotron resonance thruster, but the patent language obfuscates the known physics and necessary components (e.g., a cathode is mentioned as 'external' but its integration is unclear).
