This is true, the earth is a ball spinning very fast. It's also orbiting the sun at a velocity of 1100 miles a minute. The other things in your post; I'm going to have to digest that.
The primary reason for it is actually Inertial Stability. When you deploy a satelight on orbit it's mass is actually traveling very fast and without some form of inertial guidence soon developes the tendacy to tumble... effectively making it useless. Plus, if left unchecked, orbit decays and the thing just ends up burning when it hits atmosphere.
This I understand. But what I don't understand is how the hell you get the bold print!
If you use an old speaker magnet or some such, you can knock yourself up a simple spinning top sort of affair on which to mount it first, then once done, give it a good spin whilst on the inside surface of an old CD cover or anything non conductive.
This I understand as well. I think I will try this one, but I'll have to blast apart one, or both, of my stereo speakers. Problem is, that might get me evicted! But I can be happy knowing I have my spinning floating magnet! Just as you said, this sounds very UFO!
What do you think would cause a car's engine to quit? You know how some have had, or claimed to have had an experience where their engine quits. Is this the strong electromagnetic field given off by the UFO that causes a disruption in power supply? Damned if I can think of the word, but I'm pretty sure that there is a principle to it. Can't remember where I read or saw it though.
Thus, Gyroscopic masses don't and actually can't produce anything by way of propulsive force, which is something which always must work in one given direction in order to constrain a mass producing it to move in the opposite direction.
This I understand as well. I guess I shouldn't have really said propulsion, but it was an idea. It's been quite a while since I played with a gyroscope. If I remember correctly, getting the gyro spinning, and then grabbing one end and just trying to move it with my hand, a side to side motion, or up and down motion, that thing put out some force! I could feel it fighting me; almost as if it were trying to push it's way back the other direction. Again, it's been so long, it could have been just the action of the gyro that made it feel like it was fighting me back. It's why I mentioned it.
Yep, lucky fellow, living in the UK with those English muffins-oops-women! Elizabeth Hurley is definitely a sweetie, hotie, etc. My girlfriend, wife now, and I were watching a movie with her in it. She said that Hugh Grant was caught with a hooker. I blurted out, "What is he? Crazy?" Man, she gave me some dirty look. LOL
Well Mr. Anonymous, as I stated earlier, the others I will have to digest a bit. But it's an interesting subject. Why hasn't anyone else replied to this? Did you scare them off? Just kidding. Have a good one mate, as the English would say. Before I stop here, I have 2nd and 3rd cousins living in London. My grandparents-both dead now-were from England. Surname was Kemp.
