[dba-Tech] The EM Drive

[Jim Lawrence]

Whether the following is impossible or just another "cold fusion" type claim, you will have to be the judge. The promise of a future "star drive' where fuel is pulled from space itself, is very compelling.

Quote:

"...White proposes that the EM Drive’s thrust is due to virtual particles in the quantum vacuum that behave like propellant ions in magneto-hydrodynamical propulsion systems, extracting "fuel" from the very fabric of space-time and eliminating the need to carry propellant. While a number of scientists criticize White's theoretical model, others feel that he is at least pointing to the right direction. The NASASpaceFlight website and forums have emerged as unofficial news source and discussion space for all things related to the EM Drive and related breakthrough space propulsion proposals such as the Cannae Drive..."
