Chapter E: Magnetic personal propulsion

E3. The garment with the main propulsors in epaulettes
In the standard version of personal propulsion described before, the main propulsors were built into the soles of shoes. Such a solution displays, however, a serious drawback, which is the set of two forces "B" (see the right part of Img.010 (E3). These forces, acting between the legs, cause legs to stay apart. In effect, the movements of the wearer of this propulsion are not completely free and convenient.

To eliminate these forces "B", another version of personal propulsion will be built, which is shown in Img.011 E4a). In this version the main propulsors are removed from the soles of the shoes and placed in the epaulettes (1) of the user. From the operational point of view such a change of position does not introduce any difference in the effectiveness of the propulsion. But for the user it means freedom of leg movements. Therefore the version of personal propulsion presented here can be applied in every situation requiring the use of the legs. Its drawback is the closeness of the head to the sources of a strong magnetic field (i.e. to both main propulsors). Therefore the face and head must be protected particularly carefully. If there is a danger of removing the layer of a protective cream, the use of mask described previously becomes specially important for this type of personal propulsion.

Because of the tendency of widening the user's shoulders by the main propulsors placed within the epaulettes and repelling each other (see forces "B" in the right part of Img.010 (E3), this version of personal propulsion gives its wearer a distinct triangular appearance.

During the completion of especially heavy work, also this version of personal propulsion can be complemented with additional enhancement propulsors. These propulsors are shown as (3) in Img. (E4a).

In "heavy-duty" implementations of this version it can be necessary to strengthen the propulsion unit by adding reinforcing braces which would join the belt with the epaulettes. Such crossed braces/suspenders would make the mutual location of the main and side propulsors more stable and reliable. They would also remove the shoulders' widening tendency mentioned above.
