• Method for producing thrust with "MACH" effect manipulated by alternating electromagnetic fields No. Publication (Sec.) :US2006065789 Date de publication :2006-03-30 Inventeur :WOODWARD JAMES F (US); MARCH PAUL (US); MAHOOD THOMAS L (US)   Déposant :CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY FU (US)  Abstract : A method for producing thrusts in devices where a "Mach" effect mass fluctuation is driven by applying a high voltage, high frequency electrical signal to capacitive circuit elements made with high dielectric constant core material and at the same time applying a current signal of the same frequency to inductive circuit elements arranged so that the magnetic fields produced thereby thread the capacitors perpendicular to the electric fields between their plates. With appropriate relative phase established between the electric and magnetic fields in the dielectric material between the plates of the capacitor, the Lorentz force acting on the lattice ions in the dielectric yields a net force. That net force is a consequence of the fact that in each cycle when the Lorentz force acts in one direction the effective masses of the ions are different from their effective masses in the parts of each cycle where lattice forces act to restore the initial configuration. Operated at sufficiently high frequencies and powers, such devices can produce useful levels of thrust.

• Method and apparatus for generating propulsive forces without the ejection of propellant No. Publication (Sec.) :US6098924 Date de publication :2000-08-08 Inventeur :MAHOOD THOMAS (US); WOODWARD JAMES (US)  Déposant :CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY FU (US)  Abstract : Mach's principle and local Lorentz-invariance together yield the prediction of transient rest mass fluctuations in accelerated objects. These restmass fluctuations, in both principle and practice, can be quite large and, in principle at least, negative. They suggest that exotic space time transport devices may be feasible, the least exotic being "impulse engines", devices that can produce accelerations without ejecting any material exhaust. Such "impulse engines" rely on inducing transient mass fluctuations in conventional electrical circuit components and combining them with a mechanically coupled pulsed thrust to produce propulsive forces without the ejection of any propellant. The invention comprises a method of producing propellant-less thrust by using force transducers (piezoelectric devices or their magnetic equivalents) attached to resonant mechanical structures. The force transducers are driven by two phase-locked voltage waveforms so that the transient mass fluctuation and mechanical excursion needed to produce a stationary thrust are both produced in the transducer itself.
