METHOD OF CREATING LIFT FORCE AND ENGINE FOR REALIZATION OF THIS METHOD Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: devices for creation of motive forces for control of motion of different objects, mainly space objects during flights in gravitational fields of heavenly bodies. SUBSTANCE: motion is imparted to two or more chains of discrete masses in opposite directions along curvilinear tubular guides engageable at ends by rounding sections through which discrete masses pass from one tube to another changing the direction of motion excited and controlled by means of solenoid electromagnet accelerators mounted along tubes. Dynamic reactions of discrete masses in rounding sections are fully or partially compensated for by rocket propulsors connected with these sections. Innovation makes it possible to create and move in space lightened large-sized structures of adequate rigidity at minimum effect of rocket propulsors which may be located at considerable distance from central sections of structure and/or payload carried by this structure. EFFECT: enhanced reliability. 5 cl, 6 dwg
