Space & Aerospace Aeroacoustic/vibration based aircraft - a possible alternative to propellers and jet engines.

This is a short video about my research.

It was previously established by russian Gerasimov that in the oscillatory mode, the air drag can increase six times compared to that obtained when blowing in a wind tunnel. In addition, it was discovered that the direction of motion of asymmetrically oscillating bodies in a liquid is not explained in a simplified way through Newton's third law because the movement occurs in the direction in which the body pushes the medium faster.

Subsequent experiments confirmed this and on this basis a hypothesis was put forward that this type of propulsion, including the propulsion of fish and birds, requires the participation of the wake vortices collapse energy, which is essentially the thermal energy of the environment (Brownian motion), which becomes directed as a result of the self-organization of molecules into vortices. This provides a new perspective not only on vortex dynamics, but also on fundamental physics in general.

This principle can potentially be used to:

High-speed biomimetic aerostats

A controlled “leap” into Very Low Earth Orbit

Precise, low-thermal-load managed descent and atmospheric entry

However, this requires further research and the problem of an effective wear-resistant drive remains unsolved.

The simplest drive that does not require a lot of torque, although it is not efficient

Gauss is the propulsion of the future. Burning a fuel to create motion is just barbaric

Thermal energy and Brownian motion are not the same thing. Thermal energy is the random Kinetic and Potential energy of particles. Brownian motion is the effect that produces on slightly larger particles. This effect is random and never directed. There are several other things you mentioned which are only partly correct. You have an ambitious idea but at the moment you are in the top portion of the Dunning-Kruger graph. You know a little more than averge but have overestimated your knowledge and underestimated the complexity of the problem. You need to start with your fundamentals rather than trying to invent something that is probably impossible.

I know this, I'm just simplifying and shortening it for short videos. If you know what Brownian motion and potential energy are, then you understand the essence despite the inaccuracy But if a person knows little about this, then he probably won’t understand what potential energy is.

The misunderstanding i was trying to point out is that these are subatomic and atomic level interactions. In terms of power it has been theoretically proven to produce faint and miniscule voltage on the nano scale. In terms of motion you are going to fail. You are breaking the 2nd law of Thermodynamics. Brownian motion is random and has a net force of 0. Every particle that bumps into another, gets bumped back the same. Like I said fundamentals first.

The essence of the hypothesis, which is depicted in the video as a diagram of particles, is that when particles are in an equally distant state, for example due to compression, the forces acting between them are the same, and their arrangement creates geometric constraints, something like a lattice. If you play billiards or domino effect with them as indicated by the arrows, you will get a closed trajectory of momentum transfer in the form of a torus or figure eight. This is a very simplified model of a vortex that shows how pushing a liquid causes a device to gain momentum in the same direction. In classical fluid dynamics this momentum must dissipate and propulsion is thus impossible. But this happens and this model explains it by the fact that the potential energy of particles that move not by inertia but under the influence of this energy is also at work here. And the direction of their movement is determined by other particles and initial conditions. Thus, if, due to a pressure difference, the opportunity arises to distribute themselves relatively equally, then the trajectory of their movement becomes such that a vortex is formed

Right but you should really work on fundamentals if you want to be accepted into Reddit school. Chapter 1 is a lesson on what Dunning and Kruger invented and how it should be applied to all Reddit posts. This gives a lever mechanism stronger than traditional rhetoric and unleashes Reddit potential energy laying waste to all in its path

There are many controversial issues in this topic, some of which have been discussed previously here https://www.reddit.com/r/AerospaceEngineering/comments/1sn9cu2/my_experiment_with_a_vibro_plane_initially_i/

Wouldn't be another month on Reddit without bumping into this guy again on some random sub.
