Extending Weight in MagneticInertial Propulsion 1

So far the over riding principle that these models have been base on is that the rotation of an unbalanced object must speed up and slow down cyclically and do so under the power of large compasses being rotated against the Earth's magnetic field in order to produce thrust of this sort.

It seems the extending weight in this video is doing just that from a slightly different perspective. When the weight moves from the inner part of the rotating boat to the outer perimeter its inertia slows the boat's and hence the magnets' rotation down and when it is retracted it speeds up the rotation.

There is still another way to imagine it. That is to see it as the inertia of the extended weight going out like a sling shot and taking the rest of the rotating boat with it. Of course this is sort of at odds with Newton's first Law of Motion although I found very little information on the Internet of the conversion of rotational motion to linear motion. They are normally kept separate. I found some very complex math but the discussion said rotational motion was different from linear motion since in rotational motion the change in the distribution of mass can alter the rotation. It is sort of intuitive to me that there is some relation between rotation and linear motion but I will leave that up to others to discuss. I have no intention of debating with the people who did all that math or Newton himself:)

Stay tuned:)
