1. A device for providing propulsion comprising:
a first disk module for rotating on a shaft, wherein the first disk module includes a rotating first disk assembly supported on a shaft and having at least one piston assembly, a first fixed plate, and a counter-rotating second disk assembly supported on the shaft and having at least one piston assembly, and wherein the first disk assembly is positioned opposite from the second disk assembly;
a second disk module for rotating on the shaft, wherein the second disk module includes a rotating third disk assembly supported on the shaft and having at least one piston assembly, a second fixed plate, and a counter-rotating fourth disk assembly supported on the shaft and having at least one piston assembly, and wherein the third disk assembly is positioned opposite from the fourth disk assembly;
a first stationary cam assembly rigidly attached to a device frame, wherein the first stationary cam assembly includes a first cam for physically initiating the at least one piston assembly on the first rotating disk assembly;
a second stationary cam assembly rigidly attached to the device frame, wherein the second stationary cam assembly includes a second cam for physically initiating the at least one piston assembly on the second counter-rotating disk assembly;
a third stationary cam assembly rigidly attached to the device frame, wherein the third stationary cam assembly includes a third cam for physically initiating the at least one piston assembly on the third rotating disk assembly;
a fourth stationary cam assembly rigidly attached to the device frame, wherein the fourth stationary cam assembly includes a fourth cam for physically initiating the at least one piston assembly on the fourth counter-rotating disk assembly;
a first point mass travels within a cut pathway formed by the first disk assembly to the piston assembly of the first rotating disk assembly at which the first point mass receives force from the piston assembly to move the first point mass through the first fixed plate and into a cut pathway formed by the second counter-rotating disk assembly wherein the first point mass travels within the cut pathway formed by the second disk assembly to the piston assembly of the second counter-rotating disk assembly at which the first point mass receives force from the second piston assembly to move the first point mass back through the first fixed plate and into a cut pathway formed by the first rotating disk assembly; and
a second point mass travels within a cut pathway formed by the third rotating disk assembly to the piston assembly of the third rotating disk assembly at which the second point mass receives force from the piston assembly of the third rotating disk assembly to move the second point mass through the second fixed plate and into a cut pathway formed by the fourth counter-rotating disk assembly wherein the second point mass travels within the cut pathway formed by the fourth counter-rotating disk assembly to the piston assembly of the fourth counter-rotating disk assembly at which the second point mass receives force from the piston assembly of the fourth counter-rotating disk assembly to move the second point mass back through the second fixed plate and into a cut pathway formed by the third rotating disk assembly.
