26ft torsional pendulum
50lb machine 50lb counterweight powered by two Harbor Freight angle grinders speed-controlled with dimmer switches. Harbor Freight "waterfall pump" for circulation. Wheels made from cheap aluminum cook pots. Valves made from swamp-cooler float valves. Anyone with a lathe should be able to build a version capable of flight. Enjoy.

I'm like 99% sure here, -_-
Map out the energy distribution of your water based on where it's applying force. Including the plate. You're going get something of a mild egg shape with the lump leading towards your plate. The center of that energy field is going to be offset from the center of your rotating frame towards your plate. That's where you're getting your directional acceleration from. By using the valve to shift the shape of your energy distribution field of your liquid you've inverted the concept of a vibrational motor and basically created a steerable top.

It travels approximately 45ft in seven minutes.
