force drive (inertial drive) disappeared from archives
Hi all,
I want to share an unsolved mystery. In the 'sixties' I was a kid. My father subscribed to Popular Mechanics, Popular Science and Mechanics Illustrated. In one of those publications I became very interested in an article entitled "Force Drives" (or something to that effect). It was based on a non-linear principle of rotating eccentric weights and precisely timed electric solenoid actuators 'firing' at the 'right' time to affect a net force in one direction.
I grew up, went to college, left home, got a job, etc. (you know the drill). Over the past 20 years I have been searching for that article and publication with NO success. I have never known any of those publications to publish unverifiable technologies. The family never got rid of these magazines and in fact I ended up with most of them after my father passed away in 1986.
If there are any people out there that remember this article please post the mag and month here.
Thanks,
Greg
