Abstract
A method that exploits certain properties of a recirculating gas has been investigated as a means of achieving a sustained accelerative vector force without either the expulsion of mass from or a reaction against an external mass by the accelerated body. A theory of operation is presented that defines the capabilities and limitations of the method, and which has resulted in functioning prototypes. The prototype devices require only a source of electric power and a means of cooling to achieve an internally generated, externally measurable accelerative vector force that is sustained for as long as power is supplied to the device.
