Welcome everyone! Stclairtech R&D is a small, privately funded Research & Development organization focused on alternative energy and transportation. Our current focus is almost entirely on "Closed Loop Propulsion".
The PIE system has been successfully tested as a plug-in hybrid system added to highway vehicles. This system is built on the EZKL which was a mechanical system invented by Roy Thornson in the 1970s.
The PIE versions 1.x, 2.x and 4.x are all 100% open source with all of the development info available on the Stclairtech R&D website and blog (Grassroots Mechanic Movement) at www.stclairtech.tech where there is also contact info.
The newest version ("PIE X" or "Trammel Engine") is currently under closed-door development. It is a higher speed unit which is expected to produce a stronger and steadier thrust. It is a bit of a radical design based on the physics and mechanical designs of Dr. Michael Marsden who has been out of touch for about a decade.

PIE 6 01 With Dual SDC
มุมมอง 752 หลายเดือนก่อน
The PIE 6.xx now has its official designation as the PIE 6.01. With the 2 Speed Differential Controls working, the geometric modifications from the Trammel engine project, and the Quantified Backlash Drive unit keeping the 2 halves in sync, this will be the best PIE built yet. It can be seen that the direction of thrust is in need of adjustment (pointed out in the video) but overall we are quit...

PIE 4.6 Revisited

I was reviewing some older data and video clips & ran across this one reminding me how simple inertial propulsion CAN be. This was a simple test of a single dead-blow weight that was run as slow as possible to observe the self-propulsion effect closely. The development of the Trammel engine project continues, but I think the PIE (Pulsed Inertial Engine) deserves to be properly developed as well...
Trammel v2 Horizontal Thrust Testing
มุมมอง 3206 หลายเดือนก่อน
The cradle bearings are now mounted on strong metal braces, so the assembly can be turned on its side. We zip tied it to the trolley from the PIE Mini. It was suggested to put it on tracks to minimize friction… We will probably do that for other tests along the way, but for now we are simply doing quick tests as components are being changed and improved upon. This is not intended to be proof of...

That said… This is a super short video of one of several successful tests performed. We have not measured thrust yet, but it does take 3 pounds to lift it from the block on the bench. It lifts when spinning either direction which eliminates any Coriolis effect as a...

Stable & reliable drive motors are a primary need for consistent testing, but the 1800-watt brushless motor has malfunctioned and lost power.

Repeatable thrust was demonstrated on January 7th, 2023. A Great way to start the new year!

This is a single, merged, 2-part video of the latest 2 bench tests of the PIE 5.0 with both of its platen wheels fully functional.

Excellent!!!!
Thank you!
why there is a face on it this isnt 18+ vid
Simple... The PIE system is open source, but at this time the Trammel engine is not. There may be disclosure someday but for now we are retaining a few "trade secrets". Thanks for asking and thanks for watching.
I hope that direction of thrust can be fixed. I don't understand it all, but I'm glad to hear it's going well. One of these days I wouldn't mind seeing your machine moving along on wheels.
Thanks for the comment, it is appreciated. The direction of thrust is easily changeable up to a point, so no worries there. The PIE 6.01 has moved a work cart so self propulsion on wheels should be easy but this is ultimately slated to be tested in an on-the-road motor vehicle very soon. Thanks for watching, more coming very soon!
The effect of the speed change can be clearly I would like to see the four weights rotating in synchronization. Good luck . I will be rooting for you.
Thank you for your kind comments.
I'm JG's dad and I have to use her phone for now. I'm glad you're helping to change the world. Sometimes the world is wrong, and the impossible is simply possible. SE1
Thank you! Just because we haven't figured something out definitely does not make it impossible 😉. There is more to come soon... Thanks for commenting and thanks for watching!
It is moving forward smoothly. I think it is very simple and wonderful.
Thank you for your comment. It's good to see multiple designs showing such great promise as we work together toward the same goal.
You did good, hooray for the underdog !
Thank you!
Excellent. The machine is moving forward very smoothly. The lack of vibration on forward and backward movement is an amazing test result. Keep up the good work. We are rooting for you.
Thank you! More improvements are planned for the near future.
Muy bueno!!!!!
Many thanks!
??Could you summarize the presentation especially the context??
Roy Thornson invented a closed loop propulsion system it was viewed and tested by multiple independent sources, including the State University of New York at Buffalo. Nobody was interested, although everybody said it was terrific. He got patents and started his own company. He also gave lectures all over the world telling people exactly how this works but nobody gave a damn.
Those were the days when inventors of valuable devices were naive, thinking that those who could offer funding, would welcome their work. Nowadays, many of us have lost that naivety, knowing that those rolling in dough holding onto power, make sure that humanity is used as revenu model, so that everything has a price tag on it. Free energy? Not for a very long time, I expect. 👋🧙♀️
I'm glad to see it's going well. Keep up the good work ... StarEagle1 out
Thank you 🙂
Centripetal force cancels centrifugal force. Can't work.
Works pretty well for something that can't work... 😉
@@fitsodafun In a word, yes. These public videos are here to demonstrate the effects produced. We are not attempting to "prove" anything, the test results speak for themselves. All of our build and test information on the Thornson, which has been upgraded into a "PIE", is public and readily available. Thanks for the question!
Is it self staring or does it require a push ? If so, why ?
Self starts. Please watch videos.
1. St clair tech is already a company that makes electronics equipment. 2. Your website is broken. 3. You arent even showing anything in your video, you may as well just put a black screen with mechanical noises
Hello. 1. There is a company called St.Clair Technologies who make electrical wiring harnesses for the transportation industry, years ago there was a St.Clair Aluminum, and even a StClair Auto repair. Apparently there is more than 1 person named StClair in the USA who has (or has had) some sort of business. St.Clair Technologies also use the .com website domain. We are Stclairtech R&D (not affiliated) and we use the .tech domain for our website. 2. I have checked our site www.stclairtech.tech & it seems to be working fine. If there is something not working, please do let me know. 3. The video is only a work continuing update. I promised that we would not go public with the internals of the Trammel engine until it is ready and we have proper legal protection. All of the PIE videos are uncensored, and if you were to build one the hands-on experience would show you how much work is going into these machines. Since the Trammel's internal parts are much more unique, we (my associates and I) feel it would be best to wait for full disclosure. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I would like you to compare the motor with one weight to the one with two weights, as the two weights may cancel out the forward force. Also, when you loosen the tension of the motor chain a little, see if the chain ripples. Also, the synchronizing chain should be loosened a little and see if there is any change. If it only rotates smoothly, it is possible that there is no acceleration or deceleration in the rotation of the weight. On the PIE3.9_X2 model, I feel that the rotation slows down when the base is held in place so that it does not move.Let me support your success.
Thank you for the suggestion! I plan to experiment with multiple configurations!
How many chicken can you skewer at once?
It turned out to be a very light frame. I think that the effect will come out clearly by the version up. I wish you the best. I'm rooting for you.
Thank you, your support means a lot to me! The frame is a bit heavier than I had hoped but it's much lighter than the steel construction of version 1 (v1).
you can use a cooper the cooper is diamagnetic so it gets the same effect as a spring it repele on magnets
I had thought of using the trammel of archimedes aswell tho I thought about it and it doesn't really work if you think about it as you rotate the whole mechanism while running the trammel of archimedes the mass witch crosses through the center of rotation isn't really terning so there is only oscillation and no imbalanced forces
Nope, a trammel of Archimedes cannot create thrust any more than rotating a mass in a bowl does! This is a true linear mass displacement system combining and utilizing multiple technologies in a unique way with complex interactions creating linear thrust. Thanks for watching
I think the smooth rotation produces a steady upward force. It is very wonderful.
Thank you, it's getting better all the time!
Myf here
It might produce angular momentum instead linear momentum.
It is like throwing something away and pulling back.
That's a good analogy for the premise here. Then it's shape, frequency and timing. Thanks for watching!
That looks so Fourier 😁
There are a lot of people and things that have been dismissed for years as either useless or obsolete that we are now rediscovering and putting to use 🙂
I've actually been working on this same project for the past 10 years for a similar device I think guys like us should work together on some concept development and design an imbalance force machine
I agree with you!
Indeed! We are scattered all over the world, so perhaps an online "safe space" or "forum" where ideas can be exchanged and test results can be shared. I am currently looking into a "secure" forum venue. It will be separate from my website as I get a lot of hacking attempts there. I will let everyone know! Thanks for the suggestion & thanks for watching!
Invest in a cheap fdm 3d printer man its like 200$ for an alright fdm 3d printer if u invest the time in lerning 3d modeling u can put your ideas to reality without having to make do with waht u can find around
Nice version, but a bit complicated at this time. Try to roll back to your principle concept and make it to final exponat. So you could orientate much better and correctly approach to the goal.
Yes, it is a bit more complicated than the earlier models. I am hoping to either simplify it or have enough gain to offset the higher complexity. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Keep going. Looks interesting.
Thanks! Still not sure how much power it is going to make, but the concept is feasible and early testing shows decent forward thrust pulses!
Nice work
Great work! Thank you for sharing! Will it move the truck forward on it's own? You are doing exactly what i have been thinking of doing. What is the forward effect on the truck?
Thank you. It will inch the truck forward on a flat floor with the tires overinflated. The faster I drive, the more powerful it becomes, which I thought was odd at first. At 55 MPH I get a max of 13% assistance as measured by the computer using engine load. I'm confident that I can produce a lot more, and as designs evolve they become faster, more powerful and smoother. Check my blog on my website for details on the PIE system. Thanks for watching and commenting!
seeing these work the way they are gives me some faith that this one will work about the same th-cam.com/video/wEmwDL2ADYE/w-d-xo.html maybe better at higher speeds, the weights are moving in pretty much the same pattern
The path of the flow is very similar although I have never really experimented with moving liquids in this pattern. However, there have been a number of things learned moving solid & semi-solid masses in this modified inverted heart pattern. The primary thing is that none of the designs I have had ANY success exclusively using centrifugal force. Also, the inverted heart must be deformed slightly, if spinning clockwise there would be an indent at the lower left radius, AND there has been a demonstrated need for velocity changes. All of this is well documented, and freely available in my blog on www.stclairtech.tech... I would love to see this built as a liquid conduit device! Thanks for watching!
ive been called mad .ok but genius lets work
Yes, it has all been open source to this point, and if we all weren't a bit "mad" we would be satisfied with the utterly mundane! I have freely shared all of the PIE info because I want others to investigate this tech, experience it for themselves and ultimately improve upon it. I am all for collaboration, so feel free to email me & let me know what your thinking of. Email address is in the "about" section...
ok you make it open source. ill help you out i have similar idea
Very interesting system. I wonder if it is the same as The Trammel engine's in that it generates propulsion at the same time as it accelerates and decelerates?
Thanks for the comment! This was a small scale experiment to analyze the action & reaction of the concept. It is quite similar to a 1/4 scale model of the Trammel's motion but without the harsh angular momentum changes needed to make it as effective as the mechanics of the Trammel. This was useful to me to experiment with, ant maybe it will help others realize how simple it is to experiment with closed loop propulsion without expensive and complicated machinery.
The image clearly shows that The Trammel Engine rotates smoothly. Forward and reverse rotation is also smooth. As with PIE3.9_X2, we believe that if the slider weight hits the upper side of the cross guide at any time, there is an upward inertial force. I wish you success. Good luck. We are rooting for you.
Thank you very much, I believe it is very close now to producing the amount of thrust we need!
Please watch this, th-cam.com/video/ZHVN4QZ1Ecc/w-d-xo.html This is a working PROPULSION system.
you need do differentiate between pull against a fixed frame and thrust a bow string pulls against a bow but dose not produce thrust until it is released but it still pushes against the hand of the archer however I do have some tips from my 10 years of research on the subject of inertial propulsion if you want to listen and learn
Always willing to listen! Great ideas often turn into awesome results!
@@stclairtechrd awesome well I don't know everything so how about we learn from each other of course you don't need to share your designs as u may like to copyright in the future I have a lot of research material and drawings I've done over the years my dream is to create internal propulsion i just lack the tools to build things at this time
you need to check out the newest presentation of this machine at the APEC Conference in order to see how it's not just the "bow string pull" against "the frame" which is creating thrust..... It's actually the "bow string pull" against the "spinning gyroscope" at "2 balanced point masses" at "90 degree alternating intervals" which causes the "center of gravity" to "move in a straight line", which is causing the thrust.
Check out the newest presentation here: th-cam.com/video/rK1RiVFYByw/w-d-xo.html and it's also been posted to the "stclaritechrd" TH-cam channel now too.
@@danielrussell2959 Daniel, you can see how far this project has come on my Blog. The link and my email is on my website at www.stclairtech.tech so feel free to look and contact me when you can.
All of your results are due to asymmetrical friction and stiction. Water-borne tests will also appear to prove propulsion, because of the asymmetry of the float. But it will never work in space ... so what is the point?
There is more than one "point"... First: I'm not here to argue, just demonstrate what has been claimed to be impossible. Second: I don't know if it works in space, but it works in air and the larger versions will assist the propulsion of any motor vehicles it has been tried in. Third: If you watch my other videos you will see that it's a useable machine for a hybrid propulsion system. Fourth and last: I'm not in space. Are you? Anyway, thanks for watching.
Slow, but spectative. Now you can see the importance of the office chair wheels. They will assist you to determine the wrong direction of pulsations. Then you can just coreect your constraction as needed. Or. You can just to gain the equalibrium of the construction and put in on water. Such way is more effective to see and correct the pulsations. In my opinion of corse. By the way, thank you for your attempts.
I agree that unidirectional freedom of movement is needed to analyze thrust. This has previously been done with the large PIEs by setting them on a flat panel which was sitting on marbles allowing it to move as it wanted to. There is a large area of thrust which can be narrowed by adding a ramp shaped extension on the weight so that it releases from the center pin a bit later which aligns thrust impulses much better. Thanks for the ideas and thanks for watching!
i have seen on youtube "a cart with a pendulum" facing forward and angled downward at few degrees (gravity wil allays want to align it) then pulsed windup of the pendulum and free fall of the pendulum will create the same angular momentum but with less noise
Yes, but it is a gravity motor and will not work in space. Gravity pulls the pendulum...
Simple model, easy to understand structure, right? The speed of the weight in the forward direction is very fast. On the other side, the weight hits the rubber tube on the middle shaft and pauses. Is the PIE_X moving forward? I am looking forward to it.
Yes, this simple model should be helpful in showing everyone exactly how it works! I have had some minor success with the PIE X, now in the process of upgrading the motor for a bit more speed and better control. Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!
Nice, dude. Make now, please 4 little rollers at each corner.
But with 360 rotating ability , like the office chair has.
I am installing "wheels" on it before the next video, ideally they would be swiveling caster wheels which could also lock the swivel part to go only in a straight line. Thanks for the suggestion, and thanks for watching.
@@stclairtechrd Thank You. Your attempts are importents to the humanity! By the way, did you think to thransfer the inertial force by the planetary gear system?
@@user-vc2ss2bd7n Yes! When the weight hits the stop attached to the planet gear, thrust is generated as the planet gear suddenly tries to speed up. At that moment thrust is generated through the gears. Hope to have another presentation soon on APEC which will also explain this.
@@stclairtechrd I'm curious to watch this soon. Wish you easy way to aproach this.
now imagine the whole rig made from light weight strong material with only the heavy weight turning with the acceleration from the a symmetric angular momentum facing up, with alot of them working in serial. :)
can work on solar in space
That is much of the idea. They need to turn at the same RPM but be physically disconnected from each other (i.e. their own carriage and mounting). Thanks for commenting and thanks for watching!
can you place fabric or robber sleeve on the colliding part?
Yes, I will be placing a rubber covering on the center pin, same as I do for the larger PIEs, as I also get a motor and some wheels installed. I will post videos of the "Mini PIE" as it progresses. Thanks for the suggestion, and thanks for watching!
I can improve your design. We should talk.
Always glad to hear ideas... Feel free to email me from my website or the about section of this channel. Thanks for watching.
Hi, i can talk too?
Sounds like it needs more cowbell
LOL, more like ear plugs!! Thanks for watching.
Great work. Since you already have four wheels, why not have them turn asynchronously? Time them 1/4 of a full rotation apart from another, that way you will produce a smoother motion, the way a 4 stroke engine would.
As experimentation progressed re-phasing for smoot operation has been tried many times, in many configurations. The low-speed PIE design proves the concept, and will hopefully be replaced with the "next generation" of PIE systems very soon which will (hopefully) be a smoother and more powerful system. Thanks for watching.
It could be used to make a silent submarine, by keeping it inside the sub in a vacuum box to suppress all its sound.
Yes, or a silent plane with no significant heat signature, or hybrid vehicles needing no connection to the drivetrain. There are many possible uses!! I think the Trammel engine will be a real improvement as well. Thanks for watching.
I'm an inventor, and I gotta say that's a great idea...
man, I respect you and all your efforts
One day we will see your truck fly over the sky above our heads
Thank you
We can only hope... I am still working at it!
