  • Impulse difference engine
    Publication number: 20210074461
    Abstract: A device is for giving a continuous, smooth thrust at a chosen direction of movement by exploiting a difference of initial impulses and final impulses given to rotational sources of magnetic field. Interactions between the magnetic field of the rotational sources and electromagnetic fields generated by stationary sources cause the impulses of various magnitudes and directions. The device is for creating a thrust at any chosen direction. The device does not require any motor. The device is only powered by electricity which may be supplied from solar panels, nuclear reactor, alkaline battery, and other sources.
