According to the current idea, a projectile fired, for example, from a cannon, moved in a straight horizontal line until the propulsive force was exhausted, and then fell to the ground in a perpendicular line.
Just how the air took on this propulsive property was not explained, and the vagueness of thought that characterized the time did not demand an explanation.
The reason is simply the propulsive essence of animals and of the universal flux, which renders forms possible but unstable, and either helpful or hurtful to one another.
In intent we pass over from existence to ideality, the nexus lying in the propulsive nature of life which could not have been capped by any form of knowledge which was not itself in some way transitive and ambitious.
Besides its proper purpose of guiding the horizontal course of the Balloon, it is capable of being applied in a novel manner to its elevation or depression, when driven by the propulsive power of the Screw.
The condition of the Balloon, as far as regards the exercise of its propulsive powers, is precisely the same whether the wind be strong or gentle, with it or against it.
The machine was really a large water-cistern drawn on a wheeled car, or sledge; and the secret of its propulsive power, Schott supposes was a horizontal cylinder containing a piston and producing an action like a pump.
The machine is light, and contains its own propulsive force for the water; so that we cannot wonder it is widely adopted.
She was to keep awash as far as practicable, in order to economize her electrical propulsive powers.
Some physiologists have imputed an active propulsive power to the capillary vessels in carrying the blood through the veins.
What is said of the propulsivepower of the capillaries?
Another influence that aids the venous circulation is attributed to the propulsive power of the heart.
He told me they were a new type with an entirely new propulsive principle that one of our scientists had worked out.
But of their armaments or propulsive methods he had not been able to get any information--such things were too far beyond the natives' simple abilities to describe or picture for him.
The fulgurator was a sort of auto-propulsive engine, of peculiar construction, charged with an explosive composed of new substances and which only produced its effect under the action of a deflagrator that was also new.
I now know that at any rate it is not easy to regulate the aim of Roch's auto-propulsive engine.
The screw was worked with electric piles of recent invention which imparted enormouspropulsive power to the motor.
Gun-cotton alone and in its fibrous state has been found to be too quick, or violent, for propulsive purposes, such as use in firearms; as under such conditions of confinement it is very likely to detonate and burst the gun.
While engineers, however, are prepared to admit its advantages so far as greater security from total breakdown is concerned, there is by no means thorough agreement as to whether single or twin screws have the greater propulsive efficiency.
As a mathematical proposition it would seem that four blades should give more propulsive force than two, but here again comes in one of the puzzles of aviation, as this result is not always obtained.
On the face of it there would seem to be no call for an increase as the resistance met when going against the wind is apparently offset by the propulsive force of the wind when the machine is travelling with it.
Propulsive power depends upon the amount of air displaced, and the energy put into the thrust which displaces the air.
The action of the latter is limited and the end of its propulsive force is reached within a second or two after it is exerted, while the action of the motor is prolonged.
Some experts maintain that it is because there are two propellers on the Wright machine and only one on the Voisin, and consequently double the propulsive power is exerted.
Increasing the speed or propulsive force, tends to lessen the angle at which the machine may be successfully operated because it reduces the wind pressure.
How, then, may one who seeks the highest self-development use desire, this propulsive force of nature, to help himself forward?
Desire is nature's motor power--the propulsive force that pushes everything forward in its evolution.
Dickens opened the hearts of humanity in sympathy for suffering childhood, and thus gave Froebel's philosophy definiteness and propulsive power.
Its submerged control was bad, but its electric propulsivesystem worked well.
Something new and revolutionary might be introduced in the way of propulsivemeans which would enable submarines to make very much greater speed, both on the surface and submerged.
Such a propulsive means, therefore, will become a great and valuable adjunct to any nation.
The water birds and animals, whose weight is supported by the water, do not exert the propulsive force in a downward direction, but in a direct line with the plane of their motion.
Giles' theory, the greater the speed of the quadruped, the nearer in a direct line with his motion does he apply the propulsive force, and vice versa.
If it is to do anything but ascend and descend it must have additional propulsive machinery for producing horizontal movement.
It is not only necessary to develop power (which means force multiplied by velocity) but actual propulsive vertical force: and this must exceed or at least equal the whole weight of the machine.
The various additions to blasting gelatine generally have the effect of lowering the strength by reducing the amount of nitro-glycerine, but this is sometimes done in order to change a shattering agent into a propulsive force.
There is one essential point that must be carefully attended to, and that is, that the horizontal propulsive thrust must be in the same plane as the vertical lift, or the only effect will be to cause our model to turn somersaults.
In the case of full-sized monoplanes constructional details had most to do with the use of tractors; but monoplanes are now being built with propulsive screws.
In the case of models, not models of full-sized machines, but actual model flyers, the writer considers propulsivescrews much the best.
But all the central cut away part offers resistance in the line of travel, instead of exerting its proportionate propulsive power, and their efficiency is affected by such a practice.
Admitting, then, that this wake does exist, it follows that a propulsive screw is better than a tractor.
The Function of a Propeller= is to produce dynamic thrust; and the great advantage of the use of a propeller as a thrusting or propulsive agent is that its surface is always active.
If the propulsive action does not pass through the centre of gravity the system again becomes "acentric.
The event added new strength to his propulsive powers and doubly nerved him to meet the fiery trials in reserve for him.
These heavy missiles travelled at times to a distance of between three hundred and four hundred yards and it will thus be seen that practically the two ends of a bow are used for the propulsive force.
This propulsive force was considerably augmented in some machines by the addition of a sling to the end of the arm, which practically lengthened the arm and consequently hurled the projectile to a greater distance.
Ku's self-propulsive space-suits to Satellite III of Jupiter; and that there Carse learned that in reality the Eurasian and the brains had survived, and that Dr.

The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "propulsive" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word. Other words: driving; motive; propellant; propelling; pushing; shoving
