Subluminal warp drive only needing positive energy seems like cool method to get around conservation of momentum (remember EmDrive?). I wonder if it could be used at very small scales with lower energies for some applications.
Another interesting reactionless drive within possibility:
> "Swimming in spacetime" is a general relativistic effect, where an extended body can change its position by using cyclic deformations in shape to exploit the curvature of space, such as due to a gravitational field.

- pdonis 4y ago> Subluminal warp drive only needing positive energy seems like cool method to get around conservation of momentum No, it isn't. You can't "get around" conservation of momentum. > Swimming in spacetime Still doesn't allow you to violate conservation of momentum. The article you link to notes this.
- naasking 4y agoYes, if I recall correctly you get displacement but without any momentum.
