Can this fly?

It wouldn't work. The forces are still balanced. Try reacting against an external medium.

You did not prove how the forces are still balanced all you did was make a simple unsupported statement.

I will try to explain better so you can understand. The forces(more to the point the reactive forces) bend all the way around the curves to counteract in the middle perpendicular with the active force leaving only the active forces pushing forward which gives momentum because there is no reactive force in the opposite direction to counter it. The reactive force is pushing perpendicular to the active force in the middle at a 90 degree angle to the active force. This is somewhat similar to how modern buildings take the load pushing down and move the pressure to load bearing beams except here we reversed the concept. The load is comming from the inside not the outside. The reactive force is perpendicular to the active force creating momentum in one direction which was not cancelled out by the reactive force because both the forces are perpendicular to each other. As I said the reactive force is bending around a curve going perpendicular not opposite to the reactive force. If you believe they are balanced show me your proof. Thanks, Reactor

As you apply pressure to the balls, there is pressure against the walls of the container as the force goes around the corner. So all the pressure points on that curve will nullify the pressure on the top of the container. This is very similar to either fluid or gas dynamics. With a fluid or gas, when pressure is applied, in a sealed container, the rule is that the pressure is equal at all internal points.

You are correct about this. As it stands this would not fly. There would have to be some type of system (not invented yet.) built into the balls to keep them in-line with each other as they were pushed around the curves to keep their pressure points from cancelling out against the container. Thanks for pointing this out, Reactor

Question, how would you suppose this would react against an external medium? What external medium do you suggest? Just wondering. Thanks, Reactor
 
I took my time and read the whole page. It was interesting. A magnetic drive takes a lot of energy to give a little momentum. With propellent-less propulsion my guess that is going to apply most if not all of the time. Thanks Reactor.
