A propulsion device for propelling vehicles such as skateboards and watercraft comprises an elongate rod formed of an elastic material. The elongate rod has an upper end and a lower end, the upper end being formed to be suitable for grasping by a human hand with a foot section being connected to the lower end. The foot section may have a non-skid surface for engaging a support surface so that a person can bend the elongate rod to store energy and then release the stored energy to use the ...

Gyromotor is a type of action and reaction motor which generates thrust without plume ejection. Whereas rockets react equal and opposite to ejected mass momentum, Gyromotor cycles gyroscopes, each mounted on the end of a moment arm, in a back and forth rowing motion to drive a spacecraft, without external mass ejection analogous to rowing a boat. Gyroscope inertial properties are configured to provide maximum resistance torque during the drive stroke and reconfigured to provide minimum torque ...
