| Circlotron:
Don’t know whether this belongs in dodgy technology or not. It’s way beyond me. https://electricspacecraft.org/index.html |

What's with their obsession with elephants? Edit: look out for the jumpscare on page 43 :-DD |
| JohnnyMalaria:
Sheesh. He seems to have a serious bee in his bonnet about PhDs. And he seem incapable of introducing this complex topic at an accessible level. I gave up after page 7 (except a quick scan for elephants) and a look at his patent claims which are a million miles from a functioning propulsion system. |

EmDrive was a widely-ridiculed concept until a NASA team announced that it appeared to work a little bit. That result has not been validated or replicated. This appears to be the same notion, repackaged. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EmDrive |

FYI, for space geeks and physics nuts, the Pioneer Anomaly is worth checking out as a form of 'free-energy' spacecraft deceleration. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_anomaly |
