The Cook Inertial Propulsion Engine

Developed by inventor Robert Cook, the Cook Inertial Propulsion Engine (Patent #4,238,968) uses offset weights on spinning rotors to generate a net inertial directional thrust capable of generating tremendous amounts of directional thrust.

The CIP Engine Principle

The CIP engine converts centrifugal force (angular momentum) into a linear or translational force. In other words it converts J=I? to P=MV.

When John Wallis wrote the laws of the conservation of angular momentum (which Sir Isaac Newton plagiarized) he plainly stated that angular momentum could not be converted to a translational force because it had none to give!

The way he reasoned was: because the constants I and ? had to remain constant (or the same) for 360°of spin, the net result had to be forces in equilibrium which could only create bounded motion. This would tie into Newton's 3rd law of action and reaction.

Keep in mind that:

I = mr² and m =W/g

is equal to the radius squared. ? = angular velocity in radians per second.
