Paul's Pods. - The 10,000 year home.
I really was reluctant to use the tem "Paul's pods" but it has been such an inherent part of the polroject I just can't help myself.. I'm also a bit egotistical, so this tickles appropriately. Imagine if we could build a home that requires no fuel to heat and cool, that is beautiful, comfortable, could provide protection from the extremes of nature for literally more than 10,000 years. Well, here's and idea that might do it.

Stan Myers Replication Project
Stan Meyers figured out how to disassociate the hydrogen and oxygen of water in a controlled environment. The idea is to recreate his process and extract work from disassociating water into hydrogen and oxygen.

The Idea Club exists to share ideas about making tangible things. This license ensures these ideas remain free for everyone to use, modify, and improve—while supporting the creators who make them possible. If you use these ideas commercially and profit significantly, we ask you to give back a small share to sustain the commons.
This was one of those Ideas Bjorn and I discussed and debated at some length.
RV Drive
An investigation into the assertion that one can arrange pairs of gyroscopes in such a way that they produce a resultant force that can be measured and ultimately used as thrust. If the assertion is true it means that one could theoretically build a thruster that is not based on Newton's Third law (Every Action has an equal and opposite reaction), does not require ejection of material, and could potentially reach absurdly high velocities by applying constant thrust over a long period of time. This is NOT and "anti-gravity engine" as Bjorn loves to call it (mostly to annoy me I think), but a simple attempt combine existing forces with a useful resultant vector. As such I like to call it the "Resultant Vector Drive" or "RV Drive" for short.

The first attempt to test the assertion that a resultant force can be generated by suitable arrangement of flywheels.
Paul's first attempt to "debunk" Bjorn's claim that the forces do not balance out to a "neutral" result. We couldn't agree on the theory and I was adamant that the concept of the "conservation of energy" demands that there be no net force created. I figured it would be easy to disprove by building a test rig and spinning it up, pun fully intended. I expected to see the exact same behaviour rotating a pair of static disks as when rotating a pair of spinning disks. That was not however what I observed.
The second attempt to test the assertion that one cans generate thrust by arranging and spinning a pair of gyroscopes.
The third iteration of a test rig investigating producing thrust by manipulating flywheels.
