WARP STAR ONE concept

[Dryson]

Perhaps the EM Drive is a component of an over all larger design.

No, from what I've read the researchers are saying this sealed cavity produces directional thrust all by itself. Or are you suggesting a drive train and wheels are needed to apply this device to spaceflight? I don't think any tires are rated for those distances.

There are many components of a conventional rocket motor that provides direcrional thrust such as fuel injectors that inject fuel into into the firing chamber. Although only producing a slight amount of thrust the injection of fuel does in fact create a thrust because if you were to put you hand in the path of the fuel injection your hand would be forced away at a certain rate of velocity.

 

[sojourner]

No, injectors do not produce any net thrust outside of the engine. That would violate conservation of momentum.

There was some talk about external combustion. The "pumpkinseed," linear aerospikes...But here the slipstream around the vehicle is considered part of the engine's bell.

As many as 10,000 planets could be orbitting a single supermassive black hole

Could they be powerhouses? One nearby?

EM drive may be a let down,,,but there are other things to look at---a real saucer?

Imagine if we could use strong electromagnetic fields to manipulate the local properties of spacetime—this could have important ramifications in terms of science and engineering.

Anti-matter

According to the simulation, the "laser double strike" should be able to generate up to 100,000 times more positrons than the single-treatment concept.

Rod's from God

The question is, could a Rod from God be fitted with rocket engines, launched towards the Earth and then rapidly change its direction to gain more velocity as the Rod from God skip's off the upper atmosphere and then heads towards the Moon or Mars?
