Gravitational Propulsion (Geocities Rescue)
I believe it is possible to build a propulsion system that uses centrifugal force to cleanly harness atomic power to move between space stations. Whether such a propulsion system is used to launch from the earth’s surface is uncertain, as reactor technology is likely not efficient enough achieve orbit.
To harness centrifugal force to propel the shift, magnetized weights are spun around a hinged drive shaft. These weights attempt to achieve a 90 degree angle from the source of the motion, the drive shaft. They are prevented from doing so by a repelling magnetic field. If the force of motion of these weights is greater than the mass of the craft, it will move (provide components are stronger than the forces exerted). At least two of these systems are used, rotating in different directions, so that the craft is stable. Altering the power of each system or moving the repulsing magnets provide steering control to the craft.
Do I know for certain that this will work? No, I am not a physicist. Do physicists know? No, not unless they have actually tried to build a working model with the intention of having it work. Now, you ask, why am I publishing this on my web page and my manifesto? The answer is obvious to anyone who deals with corporate and government science. I have no doctoral degree in physics. Without one, the establishment does not talk to me. It is possible that putting this out here leads someone to do an experiment, if only because someone else might. Of course, if someone does make this work, building an interplanetary craft is not be a trivial enterprise. For those who really want to make such an enterprise work (without relying on governmental largesse to do it - and with cheap lift the last thing we want is government control of this) a new way to manage aerospace efforts is offered in the next essay. In any event, someone with the wherewithal to test and build this will likely contact me to participate in such an effort.

So this arrangement would create a "lift" force by the repulsion of the spinning magnets and the polarity of the static magnets mounted on the hull; that much is true. The problem is, that lift force would be counteracted by an equivalent downward force imparted into the drive shaft. Essentially, as the magnets spin they attempt to achieve a 90 degree angle from the rotation of the spin. Preventing them from doing this creates a counteracting force on the hinge, so if the entire assembly were enclosed in a casing, it would remain stable on the table.
Effectively this is the same reason why sitting on a chair and pulling up on the chair with your arms doesn't cause the chair to levitate. It isn't because you lack the physical strength; it is because any force you put into the lift is also creating a downward force on your shoulders, which runs down your spine and back into the seat of the chair where your hands are located. An immensely strong person might succeed in cracking the seat of the chair, but will not be able to leave the ground.
There is no way for an object to propel itself using only internal forces. Newtons laws state that it must push against something else and exchange momentum to gain velocity, like when I jump and push the earth away, and then we pull each other back via gravity.
What you are proposing is sort of equivalent to trying to get a plane to fly by asking everyone in their seats to push against the ceiling, the ceiling pushes back against your seat (via you) which results in a net zero force on the plane. You are just left under compression, the plane under tension.
