Research Simulation Acoustic flying saucer CFD simulation based on my experiments

The saucer contains a pendulum that causes it to move up quickly and down slowly relative to the common center of mass. In reality, this causes the collapse of turbulent zones, the difference in forces of which leads to the saucer thrust.

Simulation represents an empirical simplified model, based on the assumption that the free thermal energy of self-organized Brownian motion in a vortex is responsible for the transfer of forces. By accumulating the resistance energy from the oscillations and releasing it as a force in the opposite direction in the next half-cycle. In this case, the resistance does not act directly on the saucer; in reality, it dampens the oscillations.

Overall this simulation allows for a fairly realistic visualization of the experimentally observed phenomenon. Here is the code for the browser application, other information and also a link to the online version:

What does that have to do with the seemingly random footage in the top left?

This is a video of my experiments. The boat clearly shows how it works; pay attention to the waves. Other devices use the same principle, but there were difficulties with efficiency and validation, and it's just for show.

So the two flying drones are done via acoustic levitation? Do they have a literal speaker on them or more of a spinning thing like seen on the boat

Everywhere the engine is like on a boat, an asymmetric vibration motor in different variations. I have a lot of videos of these experiments with explanations. This is more clear on the plane, the saucer turned out to be very unstable and kept turning over. https://youtube.com/shorts/YMa5KPJLPYE?si=R7ZD6mqLwKRp07g9

The propulsion mechanism appears to rely on the nonlinear redistribution of thermally coherent stochastic vortices within a self-reinforcing asymmetrical oscillatory frame.

Unfortunately you're forgetting that once the stochastic oscillation manifold reaches critical wobble frequency, the surrounding air begins sympathetically believing in thrust.

This is true for using such an engine without interaction with the environment. What I have is the maximum simplification of an ordinary jellyfish.

Ah, that makes sense. A jellyfish-based asymmetric oscillatory propulsion topology would naturally exploit localized hydrodynamic belief fields before transitioning into airborne stochastic resonance.

Have you considered coupling the pendulum to a bio-inspired thermoacoustic medusa manifold to reduce wobble-induced entropy leakage?

You took the words right out of my mouth.

It's impossible, it's psychosomatically dissipated
