Did you hear about the EmDrive, the �impossible space engine?� Here are the red flags you should have looked for!

    Interesting. Some some stuff that tried to explain the red flags. I don't think this is quite cold fusion...

    "Cold fusion" results were never experimentally re-created. This was recreated by NASA, and the same results as the original experiment were verified. But those results don't say what people want them to say.

    Newton's Third law of Motion forbids this contraption from producing forward momentum without releasing a force in the opposite direction. Unless we have always been wrong about those laws, or there is something here we've never encountered, then the experiment is flawed.

    NASA. What do they know. They believe in global warming.

    Measurement error, or something is being used as reaction mass. I've been trying to ignore this story, but what I've picked up so far says that they haven't tested the device in a vacuum due to some issue with the power source. However they have planned to change out some parts and do a vacuum test.

    We already have what amounts to a reactionless drive, photon drives or lasers. Although 300MW to get one N is a terrible exchange.

    Here's a good write up as well:

    That's the article I read. Interesting stuff. I was saying that I might have to so some rethinking of propulsion drives for my next book.
