Abstract

The propulsion method, and apparatus (100) for implementing the method of the present invention, utilizing centrifugal force to provide a propulsive force (F). In particular, at least one relatively large mass (182) revolves along an adjustable track (116) such that when the track is in a symmetrical position no propulsive force (F) is produced and when the track (116) is adjusted into an asymmetrical position, a net propulsive force (F) is produced. By adjusting the speed by which the large mass (182) revolves along the track (116) and the orientation of the track (116) the magnitude and the direction of the net propulsive force (F) can be varied.
