Quantised Inertia (QI) Propulsion
Scientists to study new propulsion idea for spacecraft:
"Spacecraft and satellites could in future be launched into space without the need for fuel, thanks to a revolutionary new theory. Dr. Mike McCulloch, from the University of Plymouth, first put forward the idea of quantised inertia (QI) - through which he believes light can be converted into thrust - in 2007. He has now received $1.3 million from the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for a four-year study which aims to make the concept a reality. The QI theory predicts that objects can be pushed by differences in the intensity of so-called Unruh radiation in space, similar to the way in which a ship can be pushed towards a dock because there are more waves hitting it from the seaward side. The theory has already predicted galaxy rotation without dark matter, and the fact that if a system is accelerated enough - such as a spinning disc or light bouncing between mirrors - the Unruh waves it sees can be influenced by a shield. Therefore, if a damper is placed above the object, it should produce a new kind of upwards thrust." See: http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Sc... raft_999.html |
