Propulsion expert warns NASA's 'impossible drive' could be caused by a 'mundane error' in experiments

Propulsion expert warns NASA's'impossible drive' results could be caused by a'mundane error' in experiments EmDrive creates thrust by bouncing microwaves around a chamber The system has caused a stir as it it'goes against' the laws of physics A paper from NASA engineers shows the technology works in a vacuum Expert says the findings are likely the result of a mundane experimental error The system has caused a stir as it it'goes against' the laws of physics A fuel-free engine, described as'impossible' to create, may now be a step closer to reality, according to leaked Nasa documents.

The tests managed to generate powers of 1.2 millinewtons per kilowatt (mN/Kw), a fraction of the current state of the art Hall ion thruster, which can achieve a massive 60 mN/Kw (illustrated) In the new study, which tested if the device could operate in a vacuum, the researchers found that'thrust data from forward, reverse, and null suggested that the system was consistently performing at 1.2 0.1 mN/kW1.2 The technology has been dubbed the'warp drive' for its similarity to the fictional propulsion system seen in the Star Trek series Leaked NASA paper shows the'impossible' EM Drive really does work - ScienceAlert EmDrive: Leaked Nasa peer review paper replicates Roger Shawyer's 2006 results Q-Thruster In-Vacuum Fall 2015 Test Report.pdf
