Evaluating NASA's futuristic EM drive
- Gravityloss 12y agoThis should be relatively easy for amateurs to replicate
- nine_k 12y agoTo quote: -- However, Paul March, an engineer at NASA Eagleworks, recently reported in NASASpaceFlight.com’s forum (on a thread now over 500,000 views)[1] that NASA has successfully tested their EM Drive in a hard vacuum – the first time any organization has reported such a successful test. To this end, NASA Eagleworks has now nullified the prevailing hypothesis that thrust measurements were due to thermal convection. -- [1] http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=36313.0 http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=36313.0
- themgt 12y agoI love this fuzzy DMZ between science and engineering, when the engineers build something the physicists don't believe possible, and the physicists demand more and more proof until finally NASA will be flying the damn thing around and physicists will need to update theory to explain it.
