More on Inertial Propulsion
There are many assumed irrefutable laws of physics. One of these is the law of conservation of momentum. So, given this assumption, inertial propulsion without a propellent is not possible. In essence, a closed system cannot exert a net force upon itself.
Set 1
It is posited by mainstream physics that the centrifugal force is not a real force but rather a fictitious force. For a complete explanation, please review the videos as presented below
Set 2
Now, please refer to this second set of videos.
These two sets of videos seem to contradict one another. If you believe that the law of conservation of momentum is irrefutable, then read this explanation by classic physics for Set 2.
Oscillation Thrusters
The oscillation thruster, also describable as a sticktion drive, internal drive, or slip-stick drive, is a commonly suggested device that uses the motion of internal masses to create net thrust. One of the most famous oscillation thrusters is the 1959 “Dean Drive” described in Patent 2,886,976 (ref. 10). A more recent and simple example is shown in figure 1 (ref. 11). Further still, figure 2 displays an example that uses rotating masses (ref. 12). Although there are many versions, all oscillation thrusters have the following common components:
• Chassis to support a system of masses
• Conveyor that moves the masses through an asymmetric cycle
• Power source for the conveyor
A crucial feature is that the internal masses go through a cyclic motion where the motion in one direction is quicker than in the other. The result is that the whole device moves in surges across the ground, giving the appearance that a net thrust is being produced without expelling a reaction mass or having a direct driving connection to the ground.
Because it would constitute a breakthrough to be able to move a vehicle without using a reaction mass (ref. 2), these devices appear to be breakthroughs. Regrettably, such devices are not breakthroughs, since they still require a connection to the ground to create net motion. The ground is the reaction mass and the frictional connection to the ground is a necessary component to its operation.
More specifically, it is the difference between the static fiction (sometimes called sticktion) and the dynamic friction between the device and the ground that is required for their operation. Static friction, the amount of friction encountered when contacting surfaces are not moving relative to one another, is typically greater than the dynamic friction between the same materials. Dynamic friction is the amount of friction when the contacting surfaces are moving relative to one another.
Recall that the device’s internal masses move fast in one direction and slow in the other. When the masses move quickly, the device has enough reaction force to overcome the static friction between itself and the ground, and the device slides. When the internal masses return slowly in the other direction, the reaction forces are not enough to overcome the static friction and the device stays in its place. The net effect is that such slip-stick motion causes the device to scoot across the floor.

On the other hand, if you still don’t believe that inertial propulsion is real? How do you explain the boat example in the websites below, based upon friction and gravity?
After viewing the boat example in the first link, consider this. There is no friction or stiction between the boat and the Thornson inertial drive device (located within the boat) given the fact that there is no relative movement between the two, because the device is physically attached to the boat. Yet there is more momentum in the direction of motion; hence the boat moves in only one direction. Most importantly, the resistance from the water is greater in the direction of motion. Take note, this overall function violates the law of conservation of momentum.
