THE CALIPER INERTIAL CONTROLLED IMBALANCE UNIT by F J Shindler© – FESCH.TV

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

This Caliper-Controlled Imbalance Unit is a variation on my earlier versions, the essential difference being that inertial forces are created by outward moving weights, rather than weights that are withdrawn from the periphery.

Calipers (left-hand and right-hand) form the upper half of a closed gyroscopic stator, within which is a rotating cluster of finely balanced rollers. Each roller is captured within slots machined into a dedicated roller-cage, thereby allowing the rollers to move towards or away from the periphery in a uniform fashion.

The motor-driven cluster rotates in a perfectly balanced fashion inside the stator until the moment the calipers start to open. The calipers are opened or closed simultaneously by virtue of a User-controlled cam. As the calipers lift, rollers entering the differential created between roller and caliper are driven towards the periphery. The resultant inertial imbalance will result in a constant thrust in the direction of that differential (void).

Ideally, the housing containing the entire imbalance unit could be made multi-directional, such that a User can select the direction of force; i.e. forward, rearward, or upward. Obviously, the degree of force generated will be a combination of speed of roller rotation, and the extent to which the calipers are opened.

Compiled with the sole intention of raising a smile or two, I do believe that the next generation of ‚flying machines‘ will include the manipulation of gravity-defying weights in some way, perhaps in tandem with powerful magnet devices, but certainly involving the management of gyroscopic energy.
