Inertial propeller

Abstract

The inventive inertial propeller relates to devices using inertia for moving objects, and can be used as an unsupported propeller for ground, air and space vehicles. Said propeller comprises an unbalanced weight ( 7 ), a drive unit provided with a gyroscope ( 1 ), and a control reverse unit ( 20 ) for controlling reverse of the unbalanced weight ( 7 ). Said gyroscope ( 1 ) is connected to one of two devices of the drive unit ( 3 ) whose second element is embodied in the form of the unbalanced weight ( 7 ).
