NASA found out that NASA confirmed that the propulsion device "EM Drive" which is unknown principle unknown common sense actually operated

Propulsion device with a common sense that does not require a fuel (propellant) such as liquid hydrogen and uses semipermanently navigation of the spacecraft by using only microwaves generated by electric power generated by the solar panel "EM drive"Has been argued because it creates power that can not be explained by the laws of physics so far. It has become clear that NASA has actually tested such EM drive and has created a report confirming operation.

Next Big Future: New NASA Emdrive paper shows force of 1.2 millinewtons per kilowatt in a Vacuum and a low thrust pendulum and tests were at 40, 60 and 80 watts

EM drive was invented by Roger Shawyer, a British aerospace engineer, and was a propulsion device announced in 2001. It has the feature that propulsive force can be obtained merely by reflecting the microwave in the sealed conical cone and it is quite different from the rocket engine which obtains the thrust by the reaction which ejected the propellant like the conventional one It has the potential to become an engine (propulsion device) with a mechanism.


The point that has been regarded as the biggest mystery of EM drive is "Why is propulsive force born?" Why is energy that gives acceleration to objects without losing anything by merely reflecting microwaves in a sealed container without injecting the propellant to the outside like the current mainstream rocket engine? There was never a satisfactory explanation to date, including the inventor Shawyer.

It is a EM drive that still has many mysteries, but it is a fact that can not be ignored that power is generated as a reality problem. In February 2016 GIGAZINE also posted detailed articles on EM Drive.

Experiments to actually operate the EM drive are also being implemented. In the following movie that was uploaded in 2007, a cone-shaped cone shows how thrust is generated and the entire device is rotating on the platform.

Although I do not know the principle, but EM Drive full of mystery that power is actually being created, this is considered highly promising from the viewpoint of space development. As mentioned above, the EM drive operates only with electric power, so there is no need to install fuel or oxidizer like the conventional rocket in the rocket. In fact, we only need the fuel to launch the rocket in outer space, but once we reach the zero gravity universe, we will be able to navigate infinitely if there is only electricity from sunlight, so it is far away such as Mars The view to expect as a technology to reach the planet is expanding.

It is clear that NASA, the leader in space development worldwide, was also conducting experiments using the real thing about such EM drive. The following report by a NASA scientist who leaked out shows that when the EM drive was operated in a vacuum container, it was stated that a thrust of 1.2 millinewtons was generated per kilowatt of electric power.

This leaked report is in the stage of peer review by researchers, and it is not yet official.


According to the experiment, when the EM drive was installed in a pendulum type device and operated, it was confirmed that sustained force was generated.


Conceptual diagram of the device that generates microwave is described. This equipment is used to oscillate a microwave with a frequency of 1937 MHz.


The following figure shows the electric field (red arrow) and the magnetic field (blue arrow) generated in the "dielectric loaded cavity" which is the main body of the EM drive.


It seems that it still needs time to accurately understand the mechanism of EM drive, including the principle on which force is born, but in any case NASA has also confirmed its effect. From now on, it seems that there will be interest in how "unknown power" will be elucidated.
