*IVO – Quantum Drive Propellantless Thruster - *The objective of the IVO Quantum Drive is to test the system in the LEO environment and qualify the drive’s ability to provide thrust utilizing proprietary quantum technology with no required propellant. Estimated Thrust: 1.75mN.
- VonTum 1y agoWhy does this give me EM-Drive vibes? Haven't we established that some kind of propellant is required for conservation of momentum?
- mikewarot 1y agoSimilar thing... it shouldn't work, according to the established laws of physics, though it does seem to work on the ground. If it actually does work in space, then our rules of physics need tweaking.
- VonTum 1y ago1.75mN can certainly be measured on earth. I would of course be happy to hear about a new physics breakthrough, but putting all the VC buzzwords together "proprietary quantum whatever" does not instill confidence.
