NASA Tests 'Impossible' Engine, Finds Out It's Really Fast
An engine thought not to be possible was tested by NASA researchers who found that surprisingly, it actually worked opening the door to faster travel.

Wow, so NASA doesn't know everything. What a surprise, not. Lol! 😁 Great video!
-
China...Why I'm not surprised?
-
sounds to me like it just lets the potential energy in electrons naturally convert to usable energy. What so hard to believe about that? like dropping a bunch of little bombs and since electrons don't have mass its even better. I wish I had thought of it.

Works about as good as nasa does.

Hey Matt...
You look pretty high!
Everybody is so excited about FTL travel.
Maj. Tony Nelson had a genie and he didn't have to knock out any math and he didn't need a PHD.
I think people should just disregard all this negative energy and anti matter.
Just go to the island where Tony went and get your own genie. -
A month ago, NASA retested and confirmed EM Drive, it gives a woping 3.2 micro newtons / kW. This means it would take a nuclear reactor to move something of actual value
-
I have design a better engine and test it before 16 years. It' s based on quantum energy and ionising, with a tiny energy consume...

bla bla

One problem: there is NO such thing as a free lunch. You have to have ELECTRICITY to power the Magnetron that powers it. So you still need a power plant of some form. Probably one of NASA'S small nuclear reactors.

It's fueled by a cup of tea.
-
Why do they call it no-fuel? Electricity is not for free.
-
Breaking News: the russians already built a space ship with em drive and went to uranus last week.
-
it did not work , the electrical wiring was at fault,again it never worked and never will
-
theres something wrong with your right eye
-
Lets just get a bunch of fire extinguishers and wall-e our way to alpha centauri
-
Let's assume they would increase the thrust by 1000 times to 0,05N and a potential light Spaceship would weigh around 100000000lbs, then it would bring the ship to mars in 21 years and reach a max. speed of 40 mph. It might work but i'm not convinced yet.
-
It wasn't invented by Guido Feta it's a Brit invention.
-
No, it's not time to jump on the next ship going to Proxima Centauri, but if I die with the thing under active field test and working, and know that the walls are actually going to come down, I'd die happy.

It's ok developing a star drive what about shields, i.e. Space debris and cosmic rays that would toast organic matter e.g. Humans!!
