Full length video from 6-10-17

quote [ This is a Fb livestream filmed by a friend at the demonstration in its entirety. It begins with me being interviewed by a local reporter and that video will be linked once the story airs. ]

This is a demonstration of the Inertia Engine with motors and water circulation, sealed in a box with two layers of plastic around it.
It travels approximately 45ft in seven minutes.

26ft torsional pendulum
50lb machine
50lb counterweight
powered by two Harbor Freight angle grinders speed-controlled with dimmer switches.
Harbor Freight "waterfall pump" for circulation.
Wheels made from cheap aluminum cook pots.
Valves made from swamp-cooler float valves.
Anyone with a lathe should be able to build a version capable of flight.
Enjoy.

You're misreading what I'm saying. I'm not arguing about the plate and it fully abides with what I'm trying to convey.

Once the droplet leaves the wheel it is still traveling outward with momentum, no? That's still energy supplied from your rotating frame. Transference of that energy to the plate is what shifts the shape of your distribution field. I'm telling you that's why it works with the plate and why it doesn't work without the plate.
