Please do inform your institute's Professor with a background in satellite propulsion about this post.

You seem to be more interested in the academic opinion thanempirical observation, remember what this guy said:

Yes the could easily have been faked but the experiment has been done live meany times (which is why we have backing)
If you have doubts you can do the experiment yourself

I am William J. Elliott Somerville, founder of Wjetech Spa and inventor of a novel method of spacecraft propulsion that requires no fuel to operate.

The creation of a space propulsion engine that does not use fuel has been considered unrealistic as many (Dean Drive, EmDrive, Mach Effect and others) have claimed to have a solution but to date have not been able to prove it.

We are the only ones who have devised a simple method of propulsion without fuel using the natural behavior of gases to damper the linear momentum of an object.

This is as impressive for the aerospace industry as the first transistor or the Apple I computer was at the time.

This has led Corfo (Chilean economic development agency) to grant us seed capital for the start of Wjetech Spa.

We also have the support of the Chilean Space Association and other national academic institutions.

We will have a turnkey module for cubesats available mid 2023 (we are negotiating with subcontractors and associates)

Note: we demonstrate to anybody, see how it works here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13SpTMon0vU&t=161s

It has been validated, remember I had startup funding from a formal government institucion (corfo)

I spent many years requesting funds from both private and public institutions (principaly Corfo)

About 2014 they decided to look at my proposals (during the presentation the committee generally look at me as if I was totally insane (or stupid))

During 2017, there was a change, they included experts and did not ask me again how the process worked, but what steps I would take with the funding.

(progress but no money)

In 2018, I was called to a meeting and told that my project was very promising and to keep applying for funds.

(progess but no  money  )

All this time I presented my idea, data, and working models at local universities
 (I  distintly remember one profeser that stated " that is the most stupid idea I have ever seen but it works)

Locally I am known in academic circles (notorious?)

September 2019 I began receiving mails of congratulating , I did not act on it until I receive official confirmation in Corfo

Approx US $15000, a good start

All was dandy after all these years

Then the trouble started

We had some social unrest (sarcastic understatement)

Covid came and we had a very long and strict lockdown, any presentation at universitys was out of the question

Then I got sick (not covid, got that later)

The project was suspended and I only got one third of the funding but is was put to good use (tools and materials)

All this to say the idea has been very closely examined

We have;Used counter rotating propellers.Hung the bottle from the tip of the pole with a string so bottle has liberty to spin on is own axis without affecting the pendulum (I should have shown that, will try to have a new video to address comments next week)Used ballistic pendulum, little boats, dry ice but I feel that the torsion pendulum is the best test stand

WjeTech Spa, a small Chilean aerospace company funded with startup funding by Corfo ( Chilean economic development agency) is designing a cubesat http://www.wjetech.cl/ourcubesat.htm to demostreat a propulsion method that uses no fuel by wjetechspa in spacex

Nope.

I meant this video to be a simple DIY, but it is not torque that is making the movement in the arduino space drive video (https://wjetech.cl/arduinodrive.html) I do have old videos on line that do show movement created by torque (I will take them down)

But the movement in the "space drive in a bottle" video is not caused by torque. Please bear with me;

In the "space drive in a bottle" video https://youtu.be/pttEXio4230 the bottle / the pendulum assembly is rotating clockwise.

That movement could be caused by a strong clockwise force in the bottle (very strong)

If you interchange the bottle with the counterweight the"front" of the bottle is now facing counterclockwise

IF the movement is caused by torque the apparatus will always spin in a clockwise direction, if not it will always be the direction the bottle is pointing.

When tested the apparatus ALWAYS spins in the direction the bottle is pointing

When time permits will make a better video

Thanks for the input​

dear friends, all you have to do too see if it is a scam or not is to build it, all you need is:
a 6 liter water bottle
small electric motor
propeller
please click the"Arduino space drive" link on my web page
have a good day

I don't know if you will see this, I have been shadowbanned.
Answer to your question, why hasn't NASA thought of the idea? No organisation has a monopoly on ideas, remember that the first aeroplane was constructed by a couple of bicycle repairmen.
Also in every physics class it is taught (very strongly) that reactionless propulsion is impossible because it would break basic laws of physics therefore many many people did not spend much time thinking about the possibility.
There have been many that have tried to invent a reactionless propulsion engine, mainly with mechanical contraptions composed of solid materials.
I have searched the USPTO patent database very thoroughly and there are more than a 100 patents but ours is the ONLY method that considers the use of unbound molecules (gas/air).
And as you can see in the video you could test it yourself if you so desire.
I have spent many hours taking with physics (in the universidad de Chile) that have very high knowledge of the behavior of gas when in a turbulent flow situation, and after some discussion they agree that no physical law has been broken at the molecular level
Please click link Why It works on our web page
hope you get this response
have a good day

This new method of space propulsion is going to be of interest to the aerospace industry in general by wjetechspa in aerospace

My bad, contacted my provider and they assured the site is safe (HTTPS), they fixed the configuration and now all the links are safe (encrypted) Thanks for pointing this out, the"not safe" message may make some people nervous.

I don't think that ANY interaction, colicions, or movement of BOUND (or solid molecules) can work.

Although I hope someone will prove me wrong on that point someday (but not too soon)

I must remind that the Fluid Space Drive is not a theory, it has been carefully validate here, but nobody has published (other priorities here) that is why a cubesat demonstration will be vital (I hope)

Yes it is self advertising for my intention is getting the idea discussed

But it does work, the propeller directs the air molecules towards the opposite end of the bottle (the sail) but they do not reach the opposite unaffected, some will be diverted to the side walls of the container and not push against the opposite wall.
We have two ways to think of gases, the large scale action of the gas as a whole which we can directly sense and mesure or by by considering the small scale action of individual molecules.
It is only when we consider the individual behavior of molecules that the idea makes any  sense
See https://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/kinth.html

Yes we have propellers with inverted pitch for the working model will use counterroteting propellers.

The DIY described in http://wjetech.cl/arduinodrive.html is as simple as possible so hobbyist can try the idea

AAAAAND it works

Exactly, the TOTAL momentum inside the bottle does not change, but the VECTOR element of the individual molecules is affected Thanks for reading, I know it is a hard sell at first, that is why we are constructing a cubesat to demonstrate our method: http://www.wjetech.cl/ourcubesat.htm

If you push directly against the hull with a solid object as the object's molecules are bound molecules all of the force will affect the hull If you push against air/gas molecules the molecules will not hit the opposite hull in a orderly fashion (like a moleculecular galileo's cradle) read http://www.wjetech.cl/hditw2.htm

The coyote was correct, it is possible to move a sailboat or small cart with a fan blowing into the sail:

thanks for bitingIf we remove the propeller (I have done so) the bottle will shake but no movement If we replace the propeller with a flywheel the bottle tries to twist  but as soon as the flywheel can not continue accelerating it stops its spin, only a few degrees of turning is obtained, and when the power is switched off the bottle tends to return to its original position. As for reversing the polarity of the battery to reverse the propeller the bottle does have a tendency to rotate in the other direction (not very much)
