Fact of the day: this engine violates the laws of physics, and scientists can not find a dirty trick!

It's hard to believe ... If everything is so, according to Wired, the mankind is about to open a new era - the era of space puteshestviy.



July 27, German scientists have presented new experimental results of the study are contradictory and "impossible» EmDrive.

EmDrive (abbr. "Electromagnetic drive") uses electromagnetic microwave cavity for the direct conversion of energy in the rod without the need for fuel. First proposed Satellite Propulsion Research, a British research company based aerospace engineer Roger Scheuer, a concept was expected EmDrive rejected most of the scientific community as violating the laws of physics, including the law of conservation of momentum.

Nevertheless, NASA Eagleworks under the direction of Harold White's Johnson Space Center and studied EmDrive presented encouraging results of tests in 2014 at the 50th Joint Propulsion Conference.

White suggested that the thrust generated by EmDrive virtual particles in the quantum vacuum that produce "fuel" of the very fabric of space-time and eliminate the need for fuel. While many scientists have criticized the theoretical model of White, while others believe that it is at least points in the right direction.

Scheuer often reject research institutions, since he had no peer-reviewed scientific publications, but White and Taymara track record is impeccable, so to deny them of idle contempt impossible. Physics - experimental science, and the fact that EmDrive works, confirmed in the laboratory. "For the first time this involved someone with a well-equipped laboratory with powerful backgrounds, eliminates errors in the experiment rather than engineers, who can unknowingly wishful thinking" - writes Wired, referring to the work Taymara.

"Our measurements confirm traction expected from previous statements, after careful study of the thermal and electromagnetic interference - the scientists say. - If successful, it could revolutionize the field of space travel ».

Despite the sensational statement that the press is full, EmDrive not a "warp-engine" for traveling faster than the speed of light. However, it can, if you follow the current experimental evidence, to be a revolutionary design to create a fast and cheap space transportation. EmDrive could reach Pluto in less than 18 months, as well as to explore the moons of Saturn in just three years.

"A little damage to our physical theories is acceptable, if we get the engine working space" - joking experts. And it's hard to disagree.
