Evaluating NASA’s Futuristic EM Drive

[Dr Mordrid]

I'm still skeptical, but they keep knocking down the objections.

Today's NASASpaceFlight.com article on new EM drive developments at NASA Eagleworks.

Eagleworks has modeled a 4 hour trip to the Moon using EM propulsion. So far they've been working at relatively low power levels, but it appears Eagleworks is planning to switch to magnetrons this June.

Outtakes

A group at NASA’s Johnson Space Center has successfully tested an electromagnetic (EM) propulsion drive in a vacuum – a major breakthrough for a multi-year international effort comprising several competing research teams. Thrust measurements of the EM Drive defy classical physics’ expectations that such a closed (microwave) cavity should be unusable for space propulsion because of the law of conservation of momentum.

Progress Update:

On April 5, 2015, Paul March reported at NASAspaceflight.com’s Forum that Dr. White and Dr. Jerry Vera at NASA Eagleworks have just created a new computational code that models the EM Drive’s thrust as a three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic flow of electron-positron virtual particles.

This is an the most interesting project to monitor. Thanks for the update.
