19-year-old girl in Egypt invents a spacecraft propulsion device
- gus_massa 14y agoThe article is not very clear, and has no technical details, and has not a reference to a peer review journal article. So it is very difficult to know if this theoretical device really works. I'm not sure, but it even looks like a perpetual motion example. (But it could be a problem with the press report.) And the article says that is a variation of the "Differential sail", but the most clear reference in Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakthrough_Propulsion_Physics_Program http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakthrough_Propulsion_Physics... ) has many proposed devices that are very controversial and probably violates some physics laws.
