Abstract

The paper proposes an inertial system capable of generating a propulsive force from the rotation on an eccentric circular path of 8 steel balls placed between two rotating discs constructed with a radial slot system. In addition to a detailed description of the mechanical components of this proposed device, particular attention is paid to the theoretical treatment of the innovative principle upon which the device is based. The paper begins by detailing the equations of motion of the steel balls, from which the propulsion force of the system is computed. Furthermore, the influence of the ball radius on the propulsion force is investigated. The obtained findings support the capability of the proposed system to achieve a linear propulsive force.
