Re: One suggestion

"is that the energy being consumed causes the centre of mass to shift slightly. This is observed as motion.

Doesn't Einstein confirm this ?"

E=mc^2. If the object weighs one kilogram, the right hand side of this is 1 x (3 x 10^9)^2=9 x 10^{18}. That's a lot of energy, so you'd need a serious amount of energy to alter its centre of gravity in any measurable way.
