I have shared this concept before, here is try 2, I'd really like some feedback I hope it is easy to understand and I think it is potentially important.
The concept is that if a coil powdered with flat DC is suddenly moved, each side of the solenoid sees it is in a new position and yet because changes in the magnetic field are assumed to occur at C, they initially find that they have moved relative to the other side, one side sees it has moved closer and the other further away from the other. Hence the repulsion of the 2 sides becomes uneven, this results in an inertial like force, as if the magnetic field has it's own mass. Ascii art of the coil orientation in the first example: -> O -> Legend: O = coil, -> arrow showing direction of acceleration. Interestingly this can be reversed, if we now have 2 coils in attraction and move then suddenly at once it is attraction that becomes imbalanced, each coil sees the old position initially, the rear coil sees a stronger attraction to the front coil as it has moved closer to where it sees it was while the front coils attraction to the rear one is decreased. This leads to a force that actually helps the applied acceleration! Ascii art of the coil orientation in the second example: -> | | -> Legend: | =One coil side on, -> arrow showing direction of acceleration. Does it disagree with the laws of equal and opposite action (which also implies breaking the conservation of energy)? Not necessarily, the magnetic fields are accelerating and could emit a magnetic variation of cyclotron radiation, as such this would not breach these laws and more than a light propulsion system would. However the magnetic fields could be sourced from permanent magnets, and while this would not give the desired lightness, it would mean that any energy would be pulled from atomic energy. I would assert that this could only fail if the speed of light is breached by the near-field of a magnet. There is work from the DOE in this direction also, so it is certainly not absurd. http://science.howstuffworks.com/electromagnetic-propulsion1.htm Can anyone see any problems, improvements, suggestions where to go from here?
