new propellantless drive company
coppercone2:
Like the EM drive,
https://thedebrief.org/nasa-veterans-propellantless-propulsion-drive-that-physics-says-shouldnt-work-just-produced-enough-thrust-to-defeat-earths-gravity/
this one uses a capacitor. Instead of piezo (not that a piezo is not a capacitor) , but it sounds similar. That is that there is some unequal force in a polarizing material which leads to thrust. Not a (weak) photon drive.
BrianHG:
Do you have a link to the article where it's not on a webpage with 40-50 Java Scripts with over 200 ads which need blocking? Maybe a simple .pdf with specs and measurements, or some kind of brochure.
tom66:
So far every propellantless drive has failed when tested in space. Why not add another to the mix, I guess.
antenna:
I knew a guy who claimed to have something similar, even did some modelling, but he ended up having a heart attack. I never took him seriously, but now I am starting to hear very similar approaches to what he described. I wish he was still around. RIP J.R.
Gyro:
Asymetric capacitor sounds like an ionic lifter. I thought they needed something to ionize though (I didn't want to unblock that great mass of scripts on that page either!).
