In an accelerating rotating system one may create an Euler force that appears along the axis of rotation that does not trigger a reaction along the axis. Isn't this correct?

This is not correct when this applies to a mass being on the surface of a rotating system. It could be possible for a non-rigid body being the rotating system without interacting with a mass on its surface, right?

In a non-rotating system they are linear velocity dependent and on rotating system are angular velocity dependent. Both are inertial forces, however in linear case is required a linear acceleration/deceleration of the object to trigger the inertial effect e.g. acceleration of a car that pushes the passenger to the back.

Seems Ok to me. According to your ideas*, can any fictitious force be used to circumvent Newton? Or maybe better worded, can we use the fictitious forces occurring in linear accelerating frames of reference to circumvent Newton or does it necessarily have to be fictitious forces in rotating frame of reference?

No, there is always a reaction when you analyze it in an inertial frame.

How could someone explain the behavior of the ring that seems to exert a force coming from its interior (internal force).

It could for instance be a reactionless drive, anti gravity or psychic powers; they have the same probability (zero). Or it could be an issue with the experiment such as vibrations, magnetics etc, something that exists in the universe as we know it according to current models. Trying to argue for the existence of a reactionless drive using videos simply does not work on this science forum. Feel free to try somewhere else.

I ask to judge the experiments not me. I am able to give all the technical details. I know very well what I have done.

I don't think you know "very well what I have done" since you have not developed the skills necessary to evaluate what you've done.

Are you interested to know my background?

Not really. Either it's relevant and it will be a disappointment, or we will be left wondering why e.g. a plumber thinks he can do brain surgery.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. You don't understand physics, and don't seem interested in learning. You have latched on to a simple answer that is wrong. The whys and wherefores really don't matter too much, since that won't change anything.

OK, forget about the videos as also I don't have the intention to argue about things we already cleared out.

I have to say that I realize now where I was wrong thanks to all participants feedback. Circumventing Newton's 3rd law is impossible for Rigid Bodies (joigus as also others mentioned that but back then I didn't understand the reason behind it), but I assume it should be possible for non-rigid ones.

Two things are required in order to have no reaction:
a) Non-Rigid body
b) Inertial forces (Centrifugal or Euler)

Controllable (angular velocity, direction and application time) Inertial forces may enable the deformation (since non-rigid) of a non-rigid body without triggering a reaction (since there is no interaction with other bodies, as also the non-rigid body is influenced by the inertial forces as a whole), leading to the redeployment of CoM and acceleration of the system.

The notion of a rigid body according to my understanding, normally does not exist, it is an ideal condition (at the level of classical mechanics and daily human experience) that ignores the atomic structure.

Solid matter would be really rigid if there were not electrons orbiting around the atom hold by electric forces. Consequently, a sudden acceleration of the electrons (due to an external field) for just 1/10 of radian (1/10*2*π), will result in a change of its orbit (more elliptical) creating such a centrifugal force that essentially moves the CoM of the atom, resulting in the acceleration of the atom as a whole for that small amount of time. Isn't this a reactionless drive? Certainly, yes.

Your assumption is incorrect.

Why circular and not linear? Why, according to your incorrect physics, are circular motion special? Understanding how you believe that may help writing a good explanation.

No. 

(Hint: using an atomic model (that have been superseded by newer models) gives you incorrect predictions when applying the model where it is not applicable. Same mistake as when trying to use Newtonian physics for photons or for relative velocities close to the speed of light, c.)

That doesn't get you where you want to go. Momentum will still be conserved.

These are not present in inertial frames. They are fictitious. They appear to cause an acceleration, because your analysis is ignoring an acceleration.

IOW, there will be a force you aren't accounting for in your analysis.

Deformation requires a force, which has a reaction.

Lots of physics uses ideal conditions. Nothing special here.

No. Electrons do not have planetary-like orbits. Acceleration for 1/10 of a radian of what? If you accelerate the electrons there is a force, so of course the atoms accelerate. But for whatever causes this acceleration, it's an electromagnetic interaction, so the electrons will exert a reaction force.

EM interactions make things more complicated, but doesn't get you a reactionless system.

 

If you look at Noether's theorems, they show that momentum conservation holds owing to translation symmetry (the physics is the same under a translation of the coordinate system). You're making arguments without regard to the fact that we already know momentum has to be conserved, which means reaction forces are always there.

Simply because we are interested in to achieve a linear acceleration and a linear inertial force requires to push the system with an external force and then stop again over an external force in order to create the inertial effect upon a mass inside the system, in the direction the system ravelled. But this has nothing to do with the requirement of a reactionless drive.

Linear fictitious forces can't help us circumvent Newton but Centrifugal or Euler forces can, according to you?

Using again the classical model of the atom (replace it with whatever mechanical non-rigid body equivalent) this is how according to my view the atom will behave:

1.electron accelerates

2.the orbit becomes more elliptical

3.the electron does not leave the atom due to the electric force that holds it orbiting around the core

4.at this moment the electron creates an accelerating CoM

5.the reaction from the core (in order to bring the balance back in the atom) will force the core to follow the electron. Otherwise the electron could never be able to accelerate. 

Note: The above situation depicts a non-rigid body. The classical model in the case of hydrogen orbiting electrons) still holds. I am not addressing QM.

How is this reactionless? You pushed on the electron. The electron pushes back.

No, other than being obviously wrong.

"It's obvious" is not evidence, and not a model (which is required if you are trying to supplant an existing model)

Thanks. I try to figure out if the problem is understanding acceleration and fictitious forces in general or if the misunderstanding is isolated to circular motion.

I'll try to post some examples of circular motion later.

Because linear fictitious forces that appear in the interior of the system presuppose an external linear force to accelwrate the system. The requirement of the reactionless drive is to work by means of internal forces.

That would be possible if the electron wouldn't follow a more elliptical orbit due to acceleration.

What is a linear fictitious force?

I don't see how that follows. Is there any physics you can present, rather than hand-waving?

if I have two charges, do they not exert force on each other? Your example seems to rely on this happening in the atom. Why not outside of it, too?

It is a bad use of words, by me. Maybe better: fictitious force in a linear accelerating frame of reference (as compared to Euler and Centrifugal forces in rotating frames of reference)

Because the electron is on orbit around the core that implies a centrifugal force is at play that accelerates the electron by putting in a more elliptical orbit. This centrifugal force is in essence an inertial force next to the action reaction between the two charges.

The reason probably this is not mentioned in the literature is because the effect is small due to the mass of the electron (mp/me = 1836)

or

even worse they ignore the inertial effects

Classical mechanics does not correctly describe he internals of an atom and hence scientists are using other models. You are using an invalid approach and your results does not match experiments, observations and theoretical predictions.

As I said above replace the atom classical model (Bohr model) with a classical mechanics situation. Take a non-rigid rope with a small mass attached. Start to apply a constant angular velocity by spinning it above your head. After some secs and when the small mass is at your left or right shoulder, increase the angular velocity until you reach the. What will happen?


Let us ask @joigus.

Centrifugal (outward-seeking) force? The electron is attracted to the nucleus. It is a centripetal (inward-seeking) force.

The force that attracts the two to each other is the electrostatic force. They attract each other. Action. Reaction.

There is no other force present.

I am aware about the electrostatic force and the centripetal in an electron orbiting the nucleus.

I think you just lost me.

I mentioned earlier an external field would cause electron's acceleration that implies next to centripetal, a centrifugal force comes into the picture that has direction outwards, forcing the electron to follow a more elliptical orbit. Obviously next to the electrostatic attraction (action-reaction) between the nucleus and the electron, there is an inertial force (centrifugal) that must be taken into consideration (due to the external field I mentioned earlier).

The Bohr model is a quantum mechanical (not classical) model of sorts. You can get a good fit for the dynamics of the ground state for the hydrogen atom with semi-classical arguments. But the "centrifugal force" is supplied by uncertainty momentum. That's not really a "force." You can actually calculate quite a good approximation to the ground-state energy by means of HUP. But that's as far as it goes with half-classical arguments AFAIK. You must use quantum mechanics to solve quantum mechanical problems.

I need more time to look at the previous arguments. That's all I can say now. Swansont can handle it perfectly.

The only place for a centrifugal force could come from would be the nucleus. How would you do that?

An external field would exert a force on the electron opposite the direction of the field. It would similarly exert a force on the proton in the direction of the field. There is nothing centrifugal about that.

It is just a theoretical exercise even if not practically feasible.

So again, let us assume theoretically for a moment the field strength between the nucleus and the electron may suddenly increase (for unknown reason) to a new value and remains there. The transition occur while the electron ascribes an arc of 1/100 rad. How this will affect the electron and the system (atom) as a whole?

Edit (1): suddenly increase (for unknown reason) to a new value and remains there.

Edit (2: The transition occur while the electron ascribes an arc of 1/100 rad
