I'm not a physics whiz, but it seems all you'd need is something to absorb the counter-rotational reaction. A flywheel maybe?
A "black box", no matter what its internal workings, will have recoil if it is projecting mass. There is no way around this.
I think they must have meant "no recoil" in a loose human-perceptive sort of way.
Or another DREAD spinning the opposite direction?
