Default Inertialess drive rotor: For anyone interested applied in Physics

A few years ago I came accross this invention and thought I'd look it up again to see what's been done with it. The Catalytic converter seems interesting.

I think it could also be applied to the evolution of the electric car (Tesla car thread?) for energy storage or even as a type of battery. I find it interesting because it gets more stable at higher revs!

Thoughts anyone?

They had a bit of success with this in the hydro turbines.

Don't know if it quite took off yet.

Bloody interesting though.

I only did physics to 1st year uni, so I don't really know it that well, but, I guess the gist is:


Have you ever held a bicycle wheel (off the bike) by the axel and had some one spin the wheel? when you try to change the plane of rotation, the wheel tries to compensate and you feel like its trying to go against you. This is the rotational inertia.

This rotor constantly transfers the inertia to another plane within itself and therefore you can sipin this thing and transport it without losing any energy at all. Thats the unique thing about it.

To apply it as a calalytic converter: The rotor (basically a spinning magnet in this case) prepares the fuel before it enters the cylinders. Think of it as polarising the hydrocarbon to get a more complete combustion, therefore not needing a cat in the exhaust to burn up the excess gasses.

Theoretically. Realistically the machine releases noise and some other energy therefore not being 100% efficient.

As Köura said though, its supposed to be a highly efficient. Apparently it has a whole heap of uses like purifying or deionising water or something of the sort.

so theres a spinning gyroscope/magnet in ur exhaust system instead of a traditional cat? or in ur intake??
