Chronal Mover of the Second Kind: Force as a Gradient of Energy Density.
Abstract
A new principle of motion based on chronal dynamics is proposed. It is shown that the fundamental relation τ = ħ/E and the definition of momentum p = ħ/(cτ) lead to a direct relationship between the force and the rate of energy change: F = - (1/c) · dE/dt. This means that any local change in energy density creates a force acting on the system. Where the thrust arises due to the return of radiation, the proposed mechanism makes it possible to create thrust due to the energy gradient within the system itself, without mass ejection. A numerical assessment has been carried out for various sources (terahertz radiation, femtosecond lasers) and an engineering scheme of the prototype has been proposed. The results pave the way for the creation of a new generation of propulsion systems for space and precision technology.
