RIP-Felix Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 This is the type of thing that makes me feel all all fuzzy inside.I'm a Geek! So, cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIP-Felix Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Well my fuzzy feeling wore off! Apparently we're not going to be boosting around the solar system with our EMdrives anytime...ever. Science giveth, and science taketh away! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthurman Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 This has always been met with a bit of skepticism, but it's certainly not something that isn't still being pursued. It's also still believed to work, by some anyway. https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/1219586/nasa-news-physics-broken-albert-einsten-emdrive-spacecraft-engine-tested-spt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIP-Felix Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 That article makes it sound like the jury is out, but cites the same peer reviewed sources. Sources that concluded the effect is due to electromagnetic forces caused by the devices wiring interacting with the earth's magnetosphere. This is more likely the real cause of the minute thrust produced, because the device cannot function as purported without violating the laws of thermodynamics and Einstein's theory of relativity as it applies to reference frames. In this case it's more likely the effect is an aberration due to limits of measurement and failures to control for interfering variables. That doesn't mean it's debunked. It's just very unlikely to work the way we all want it to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
