Question

Asked by: David E.Cowlishaw
Subject: GIT website now on a .nl archive server (change link)
Question: Glenn;

I am still a "believer" in inertial propulsion, and have been quietly working on better instruments to achieve commercial viability. The fact that the US government considers anything that can produce over 1/10th of a G of thrust in space a "weapon", has hampered my public disclosures (and made me very wary of patenting anything that might be vialble). Ok, then the Bush administration took over (corporate greed made public policy), and I shut down.

The current Obama administration seems to be Clinton-esque in it's approach to public, private, and corporate interests, and I am NOT encouraged!

Your page comes up high on the list in a search for my name in quotes "David E. Cowlishaw", and the link (as artistic author for your own contributions to inertial propulsion via Laithwait's efforts) to my website is dead, given the fact that the IP provider went "under", and no longer stores my musings for public viewing.

Please change the link to one active now in the Neatherlands (an archived copy of my now idle public musings).

Please change the link at the bottom of the page from www.open.org/davidc to (or some such, I can't look it up while in this copyto box, it will get erased if I look elsewhere to verify information on the net, a problem in today's cyber life).

I DO have a working copy of the link on my Facebook page, username "David Cowlishaw", just in case I forgot all the exact letters, capitals, and punctuation, in exact order.

Update34 has the math, that has proven accurate and enabling.

I used it to flesh out my latest model the SHARRMIA (Spin Hammer Angularly Reciprocating Ring Mass Inertial Accelerator), that has a materially tested Tr (Tangential ratio) of 9, an Sr (Spin ratio) of 11.55, and with a reasonable ring mass spinner assembly, can carry an additional 33% of "dumb hammer" mass as support structure, beyond the actual spinner mass' angular moment in conjunction with it's point mass characteristics.

Just ask, I may want to post actual machine particulars, and make it public domain, just to skirt the hazards of governments that don't want us to succeed in living beyond their permissions.
