EmDrive: The engine doesn't need fuel, goes to the Moon for only 4 hours?
Laboratories around the world have set themselves "impossible tasks" to build engines that operate without fuel, breaking the laws of physics.
The problem has been solved since the EmDrive engine was born. The next "impossible task" is set to use EmDrive engines to bring astronauts to Mars to prove that the engine works.
The motor revolution created a breakthrough by pushing the microwaves in a closed chamber with solar energy.
While the researchers believe that the EmDrive engine doesn't come true because it breaks all the laws of physics, others hope to use it for future spacecraft.
Scientists are hypothesizing to explain how the engine works. In the next few months, scientists will work together to analyze and comment on it making it a reality soon.
EmDrive engine: A human dream of "lightning fast" space travel
In fact, the idea of a motor operating without fuel is not new. 16 years ago, researcher Roger Shawyer devised this "utopian" idea .
Since 2000, four independent research facilities, including NASA's lab, have reinvented the engine, creating a breakthrough, which no one can explain the principle of operation.
The original motor operates without fuel.
EmDrive engine transforms electrical energy into thrust without propellant. The engine should not work because it breaks the law of dynamics.
According to the laws of physics, the dynamics of a system are always stable if there is no external force acting on the system. Therefore, spacecraft inherently need boosters.
Dr Mike McCulloch of Plymouth University (UK) expressed confidence in the EmDrive engine. He explained about this motive with the new hypothesis of inertia that the antagonism of large objects alters movement and acceleration.
This hypothesis explains why existed inertia challenges researchers over the centuries.
The image simulates the principle of action of the cave (not yet publicly available).
Mike McCulloch said the prediction in relativity is called "radiation Unruh" by Einstein, who explained inertia.
This effect suggests that if there is acceleration in a vacuum, it will contain gas molecules at temperatures corresponding to the acceleration. That is, the universe heats objects with acceleration.
It is possible to determine inertia when Unruh radiation is equal to the pressure on the accelerating object. Material dimensions are related to acceleration. As with the EmDrive engine, the greater the Unruh radiation wave, the lower the acceleration.
At extremely low acceleration, the wave length becomes simple but is too large to observe in the universe. The researchers came up with the result: inertia can carry out the entire length of the wave all the time, causing it to be magnetized.
Researchers have found that extremely low accelerations, inertia vary with unpredictable values as scientists have observed when spacecraft flew on Earth, causing only faster number of their calculations.
We can expect something similar to the EmDrive engine by reducing the allowed size of Unruh radiation length.
According to Dr. Mike McCulloch, photons now have perfect large inertia. The EmDrive engine is chopped, radiation is very small.
The cones produce Unruh radiation with a certain ending magnitude but only for smaller wave lengths at the end of the next time.
Recent NASA experiments also show reversal thrust.
The inertia of the photons in the cavity changes when going backwards. To preserve momentum, force them to produce thrust.
Dr. Mike McCulloch said there was some evidence of this process. Recent NASA experiments also show reversal thrust.
The next step, the EmDrive engine will be tested on a larger scale and if it works, it can take passengers and equipment to the Moon within 4 hours, to Mars only takes 10 weeks.
If the EmDrive engine works on a larger scale, it can take people outside the solar system.
For example, going to Alpha Centauri star system with current technology will take tens of thousands of years. With the EmDrive engine, we only have to go for 100 years.
