exception.I can give you an example that seems to break the CoM and CoE, it
isn't practical.  Now there might be an explanation, MAYBE it produces a
photos that explains the propulsive effects...  But I doubt it.Now, the
easiest way to explain (though there is a way this can work without
switching and just use DC electromagnets or even permanent magnets to
affect Inertial mass positively or negatively)  this is if you have an
electromagnet establish a field, a large fieldAnd then you have a second
electromagnet turn on suddenly, and it is attracted or repelled.Then,
before the magnetic field from the second electromagnet can affect the
first electromagnet, you turn off the first electromagnet.Standard physics
says that the momentary field from the second electromagnet will propagate
outwards from it at light speed so that it passes completely through the
first electromagnet and affects it to just the extent that it would have
affected it if the field propagation was instantaneous.*

But it cannot be instantaneous.
If we could communicate instantaneously we could kill Special Relativity.

The first electromagnet could have been on for a very long time with
nothing to react against.
We then activate the second electromagnet and it experiences a reactionary
force.
The first electromagnet is designed to turn of a fraction of an instant
before any force would kick in.
Therefore there is ZERO force on one electromagnet, but there is force on
the other.
And only if we can communicate from one electromagnet, back to the other
and back again in essentially zero time can this not be thee case!

The second electromagnet has no impact on the first electromagnet as it is
unpowered when the field hits, it is magnetically inert at this point.


*  So after a very short time, CoM is restored.*

It is not restored because the first electromagnet was not an electromagnet
by the time the field got to it.
Admittedly the violation cannot continue without resetting the experiment,
but momentum has not been conserved, unless of course a photon is
considered to have been exchanged/emitted, but that has to be justifiable,
and I doubt it can be.


*  I am confident that if you were to include the momentum of the field in
the calculation, then CoM would be continuously satisfied over all space.
(That is after all how physicists would work out the momentum of the field
- by *assuming* that the total must always be conserved!)*

Only if you are implying that the field becomes separated from the
electromagnets and carries the momentum as a photon.   If that is what you
think happens, this this need a far more careful examination.

BTW, there is a patent on the concept...  Not that that means much.

*So now you have gained thrust from one electromagnet, but the other has
experienced no forces.*

*As I say, a version without switching can be envisioned where one magnet,
or both are suddenly accelerated in the same direction so that one moves
deeper into the field of the other, and the other moves out of the field,
so one finds the attraction or repulsion between then increased, the other
finds it decreased as neither sees the "new" or current position for the
other magnet.*

*By doing this you can create without and doubt thrust, break the CoM and
therefore the CoE...*

*And the only way it could fail is if you prove that magnetic fields,
near-fields transfer forces and information INSTANTLY which Einstein would
consider a blow.*

*This is not wrong, Unless as I said that a bit fat photon carries all that
momentum in the opposite direction.*

*I personally cannot see where there would be a cost of energy though for
the photon to be coming from.*

*There is something usually called "radiation damping" which is the
mechanical effect on moving charge that is the *reaction force* of suddenly
accelerating or decelerating the charge.  After this sudden acceleration,
its effect then radiates outward at light speed and can finally cause
acceleration of remote charges - which finally balance the CoM equations
for solid matter (which were unbalanced while the radiation was in
transit).*

Sounds like a photons under a different name to me

Well, I did say going in that if you think that enough EM energy is
released in the relivant direction as to explain the forces, that I
couldn't really easily make the case that it is, but I think most peoples
knowledge of the momenta of ultra low frequency photons is sufficiently
lacking that this makes it a challenging one to further debug.

In which event, for fun I propose an alternative, take a Transformer with a
donut core, put in DC, establish a magnetic field, then place negative
charges around the donut and positive charges toward the center, then
collapse the magnetic field.
The inductive pulse will push negative charges in space, or on electrodes,
around, but as we have more protons in the center, and more electrons
around the outside, this will create a net directional thrust.

I'm not saying there isn't a possible answer, but it is a fun case to
consider.
