China is testing an em drive right now in space
Weeks after we heard about NASA confirming that the em drive works, the
chinese make public that they are testing an em drive right now in their space station... http://www.popsci.com/emdrive-engine...-china-success That will be a HUGE step for mankind Neil. If all that is true of course. How can something move without sending anything behind to compense for its acceleration? Apparently the magnetic field created by the microwaves is asymmetric because of the shape of the container. And that aymmetry of the magnetic field pushes the vehicle forward... A very small effect that could be boosted using super-conducting walls. WOW! I was impressed by the NASA papers: that seemed to work? And now the chinese taking the whole world by surprise: they have ALREADY an em drive in Tiangong 2??? Probably they started doing that with the first papers and NASA preliminary reports some years ago. Actually, it is very simple to build... A very interesting technology. This could completely transform space travel. |
