Holy crap, flying saucers may be a possibility: Despite a famous physicist (Sean Carroll) being angry and saying THIS CANNOT BE about this engineering anomaly that NASA just made very, very public, I want to believe that this is real. Note: quantum vacuum virtual particle (read: free) energy. As a simplification note: this test engine basically is powered by microwaves bouncing around inside a resonant chamber in the engine. It produces about as much thrust as an ion engine, with theoretically zero fuel required. From the abstract: Thrust was observed on both test articles, even though one of the test articles was designed with the expectation that it would not produce thrust. Specifically, one test article contained internal physical modifications that were designed to produce thrust, while the other did not (with the latter being referred to as the null test article). Test data gathered includes torsion pendulum displacement measurements which are used to calculate generated force, still imagery in the visible spectrum to document the physical configuration, still imagery in the infrared spectrum to characterize the thermal environment, and video imagery. Post-test data includes static and animated graphics produced during RF resonant cavity characterization using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software application. Excerpts from all of the above are included and discussed in this paper. Lessons learned from test integration and operations include identification of the need to replace manual control of the resonant cavity target frequency with an automated frequency control capability. Future test plans include the development of an automatic frequency control circuit. Test results indicate that the RF resonant cavity thruster design, which is unique as an electric propulsion device, is producing a force that is not attributable to any classical electromagnetic phenomenon and therefore is potentially demonstrating an interaction with the quantum vacuum virtual plasma. Future test plans include independent verification and validation at other test facilities. Spacing is mine. ntrs.nasa.gov/search.jsp?R=20140006052 #NASA #engineering #freeenergy
