METHOD OF THRUST GENERATION, DEVICE TO THIS END AND VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC B64G1/40 F03G7/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to vehicles and may be used in propulsion systems of various objects, including space objects. Proposed method consists in revolving object 2N rotors, each being equipped with extra solid body arranged on its periphery and coupled with controlled accelerating-decelerating units. Rotors of, at least, one of N pairs are spun up in opposite directions. Note here that, in one revolution of each i-th rotor, angular speed 1 is quickly driven to value ω_i to decelerate rotor 4 to minimum possible (zero) angular speed. In these conditions, said solid body on rotor is started at minor speed in one revolution, accelerated in one revolution and decelerated at point 5 occupied by said body one revolution earlier 6. Preset ω_i defined by required acceleration (a_req) received by object from i-th rotor in its one revolution according to formulae a_req= P·ω_set.i, where P is empirical factor depending upon object design. Said N pairs of rotors are arranged on object to comply with required directions of thrust forces. EPM L_i of every i-th rotor is defined proceeding from required object acceleration at said rpm L_i (with due allowance for all running rotors).

EFFECT: lower power consumption, increased net volume, simplified control system.
