Abstract

This paper presents the mechanical and kinematic framework for Controlled Unbalance Propulsion (CUP). Traditional centrifugal propulsion historically fails due to omnidirectional force dissipation and destructive lateral vibration. The CUP system resolves these issues through a 5-step gating cycle and a Coaxial Symmetrical Array. By modulating a 50g primary mass against dual 25g counter-rotating satellite masses at 1,000 RPM, the drive achieves mechanical rectification of angular momentum into linear thrust. This document details the specific constraints of Gyroscopic Precession (Torque Twist) and provides a scalable model for propellant-less lift.
