"The device they say could power flying saucers that would have abilities now attributed to UFOs, as well as cars, amusement park rides, toys and satellites. It could even be used to move comets and asteroids.
According to the inventors, the device employs two separate processes that do not require a propellant and do not produce an equal and opposite reaction against any external form of matter in the Local Inertial Reference Frame and do not violate Newton's Laws in the Universal Reference Frame. The first process produces horizontal motion, relies on the earth's gravitational field as an external force, and has been successfully tested. The second process produces vertical motion and relies only on the aether. It has been successfully tested considering the effect of the earth's gravity.
Due to the law of conservation of angular momentum, the first process is normally considered not possible, but with the proper use of an external field (for example, gravity) and the phenomenon of precession, it becomes possible. A clear distinction is made between a simple rotor and a gyroscope which is a far more complex device.

A principle object of the invention is to provide for the first time a viable process of inertial propulsion and to slowly do away with brute force rockets with their highly explosive propellants. The principles disclosed may be used for many velocity limited applications including station keeping for space applications; movement of payloads near the Space Station, small planets, asteroids, comets, libration points, geostationary orbits, and in general, any orbit where the centrifugal force cancels the gravitational force.
Inertial propulsion is a largely undeveloped field. Inertial propulsion is defined as propelling a vehicle without the use of a propellant such as rocket fuel or ions, or by the application of an obvious external force. In short, inertial propulsion is propellantless propulsion.
After consulting with prominent physicists, based on current definitions, the earth's gravity is definitely considered an external field (and force). If a one pound object is sitting on a table, the gravitational field causes it to exert a one pound force on the table and to keep the object from falling the table responds by exerting an equal and opposite upward directed force. Contemporary thinking is largely that because the gravitational field is by definition exactly perpendicular to the horizontal, it can not be used to cause an object to move horizontally. This has been true for all the approaches that have been tried in the past, but that does not prove it cannot be done. It just remains for someone creative enough to figure out how to do it, and this patent defines that unique process.
The two processes referenced above are examples of converting the rotary motion of a spinning rotor into unidirectional linear motion.
Gravity causes the phenomenon of natural precession (precession not using a man-made forcing torque). It is common knowledge that a spinning precessing rotor has a reduced level of inertia and angular momentum in the direction of precession while it is precessing, although that process is currently not well understood or agreed upon. Consider a one-foot long axle with one end on a pivot point attached to a base and a spinning rotor on the other end. By removing a support at the rotor end of the axle and relying on gravity to precess or move the spinning mass 60.degree., for example, and then reinserting the support so that precession stops, the mass of the rotor will have moved a linear distance of exactly one foot (equilateral triangle). The mass will have moved this distance of one foot and it will have done so with a reduced level of inertia and angular momentum and hence with a reduced reaction against the pivot point and hence against the base.
During precession the base will have moved only very slightly in the direction opposite that of the precession; for example one-tenth of an inch for a given table-top device. Then if precession is stopped and the spinning rotor is pushed or reset back to its original position while it exhibits full inertia and angular momentum, their will be a full reaction against the pivot point and hence against the base, and so the base will have moved a significant amount in a direction opposite to the reset direction, but in the same direction as the original precession. The net result will be that there is a net motion of, for example, 1 inch in this example, in the direction of precession, for each cycle of the precession and reset action.
The second form of inertial propulsion disclosed produces vertical motion and does not rely upon any internal or external familiar and convenient field except that of the all-pervasive aether. It relies upon a forcing torque to turn precession on and off to produce the states of low and high levels of inertia necessary to result in a net upward movement in the absence of a strong enough gravitational field. The form of inertial propulsion that produces vertical motion is referred to as Vertical Motion by Mass Transfer (VMT)".......
