NASA’s EM Drive Propulsion System Actually Works

the test results are in…

It could theoretically get us to Mars in 70 days…seriously.  The extremely strong propulsion is based on microwaves.  Sure, warp drive concepts are interesting and fun to talk about, and who’s to say they couldn’t actually make progress in those areas one day but the EM Drive concept is something here and now:

Over the past year, there’s been a whole lot of excitement about the electromagnetic propulsion drive, or EM Drive – a scientifically impossible engine that’s defied pretty much everyone’s expectations by continuing to stand up to experimental scrutiny.

The drive is so exciting because it produces huge amounts of propulsion that could theoretically blast us to Mars in just 70 days, without the need for heavy and expensive rocket fuel. Instead, it’s apparently propelled forward by microwaves bouncing back and forth inside an enclosed chamber, and this is what makes the drive so powerful, and at the same time so controversial.

Let’s find out more on how they proved the skeptics wrong and check out the video on page 2

    Now for some old news…..electrogravitic craft have been used by Lockheed for over 50 years.,this crap above is useless by comparison.

    Whether or not it’s directly mediated via the quantum vacuum, if it works, it would still surely conserve momentum, and have a reaction with the surrounding EM field.. People seem to forget that the EM field really carries momentum. In this case, you could probably think of it as having a propellant consisting of radiating photons, but they might be very sublle, involving a coherent, or some other collective state, of radiation with a particular multipole field, for instance.
