“All credit goes to Brandson Thornson who created this device.
His website is rexresearch.com/thornson/thornson.htm, here you will find an in depth explanation and videos of experiments including one of him powering a canoe and pushing a pendulum using the Reactionless Drive.
I must add that this is only one form of Reactionless Drive among many others such as the Dean Drive and the Gyroscopic Inertial Thruster.
This system of propulsion does not pertain to electromagnetic "anti-gravity" levitation, which despite also relying on mercury and non-Newtonian physics, operates on completely different principles from Reactionless Drives.”

Good night #nostrs
Every minute someone leaves this world behind.
We are all in “the line” without knowing it.
We never know how many people are before us.
We can not move to the back of the line.
We can not step out of the line.
We can not avoid the line.
So while we wait in line -
Make moments count.
Make priorities.
Make the time.
Make your gifts known.
Make a nobody feel like a somebody.
Make your voice heard.
Make the small things big.
Make someone smile.
Make the change.
Make love.
Make up.
Make peace.
Make sure to tell your people they are loved.
Make sure to have no regrets.
The way to beat hatred is LOVE. 💜♾️💜

Good morning 💜
