ZPEnergy.com - Screwing Pressurized Aether out of the Background Electron-Positron Sea

The centre of mass of a spinning gyroscope hangs well over the edge of the pivot, but it doesn't fall. Yet if we restrict ourselves to the forces that are officially recognized in modern classical mechanics, it should fall because there is no recognized gyroscopic force that would prevent it from falling. The mere fact that the gyroscope is spinning should have no bearing on the issue. The centre of mass is clearly hanging over the edge, and so the gyroscope should fall whether it is spinning or not. Modern physics tries to cover up this inadequacy by diverting attention to issues surrounding the conservation of energy. A Lagrangian treatment of the problem shows that the motion is consistent with the conservation of energy, and so all is then considered to be well. But the actual gyroscopic force itself that keeps the gyroscope from falling is not officially recognized to exist. Yet of course it must exist, and furthermore, it needs something to push against. Unfortunately, the medium that the gyroscope pushes against is also denied in modern physics.

This medium doesn't appear to have any effect on a gyroscope that is in a state of free fall, but it does reverse the direction of a rotating rattleback (Celtic stone). We will assume that this medium is indeed the luminiferous medium of tiny aethereal vortices, and that each vortex possesses a source and a sink. In other words, the medium is a dense array of electrons and positrons. When the medium is disturbed by translational motion, rotational motion, or by electric current, more aether pressure will be screwed out of the positrons. This additional pressure will of course be inertia or kinetic energy, or in the case of electric current, it will be magnetic field. The inertia will exert a pressure all around the moving body. If the body is spinning as well, there will be an additional centrifugal pressure field. Centrifugal pressure is yet another concept that is denied by modern physics. Providing that the body is spinning about a symmetrical axis, this centrifugal pressure field will be irrotational in that it will be in the radial and axial directions only, and it will be generated by the alignment of the molecules of the spinning gyroscope due to the electron-positron wind that will be blowing through it as a consequence of the spin.

If however we subject the spinning gyroscope to a forced precession, we will change the angle of attack of the electron-positron wind, and the molecules will realign asymmetrically. The asymmetry will then induce a vorticity into the centrifugal pressure field. The inertial pressure that arises due to the forced precession will then be twisted due to the vorticity, and a Coriolis force will be induced such as to deflect the gyroscope sideways by pushing against the electron-positron sea as a whole. This deflection will be analogous to the sideways deflection of a comet as it gets closer to the Sun. This sideways deflection, caused by inertial pressure, prevents the comet from falling into the Sun.

As regards the rattleback (Celtic stone), it rotates about an asymmetrical axis. The internal molecules cannot therefore align into a stable symmetrical pattern. Hence there will be a vorticity in the centrifugal pressure field of the rattleback, and as such, the inertial pressure of the motion will be curled and cause a Coriolis force that reverses the direction of the rattleback by pushing against the electron-positron sea as a whole.
