Yet to be unequivocally demonstrated after 90 years of patent publications in the area, a mechanical propulsion device is presumably a combination of mechanical parts in a rotary configuration that on rotation generates net linear thrust with application of torque.

Do bombs have a propulsion system?

A bomb is a device designed to explode - often used in war. It may, or may not, also have a propulsion system, but quite often, any propulsion is provided apart from the bomb. For example, a bomb may just be dropped from an airplane.


What are the three propulsion types?

The three main propulsion types are chemical propulsion, electric propulsion, and nuclear propulsion. Chemical propulsion uses chemical reactions to generate thrust, electric propulsion uses electric power to accelerate propellant to high speeds, and nuclear propulsion uses controlled nuclear reactions for propulsion.

What is an ancillary device?

An ancillary device is one that is not the primary one. For example in your motor car, the propulsion system is the primary device, otherwise there would be no purpose in having it. But the lamps are ancillary devices, but pretty important nonetheless. But your radio or cigar lighter are much less important, and are ancillary devices. Similarly with your cooking stove, the clock is likely an ancillary device and you use it rarely, if at all. This clock is an ancillary device.
