| Status | DEBUNKED |
| Summary | Claims that gyroscopes or flywheels can generate reactionless thrust or lift, potentially defying gravity. These devices appear to move in ways that seem to violate physics. |
| Origin | Popular in the 1980s and 1990s, with various inventors claiming to have built working devices. |
| Claimed |
|
| Evidence / consensus | NASA and other researchers tested these devices and found no thrust in free space. The apparent effects are due to friction and other mundane forces. |
