He just proved that my system didn't violate conservation of momentum.
He did not show that there was not thrust produced, because he used the
wrong equation. The sticking point is the mechanism for putting energy
into the sytem that will not act as an opposite reaction to the
centrifugal force extracted as thrust. I have it, and thats my
secret....
