'String' theory

You can built an 'inertial' drive by putting a shaft throu a coffee can(on the long axis), off center then put a weighted bar through the shaft, such that it spins round the inside of the can. One side will be longer and thus throw more mass at one side of the can. When you spin the shaft with a motor, it indeed, will move in a discreet direction, because momentum on one side, is greater than the inertia on the opposite side.
