The EM Drive engine test, which can lead humans to other galaxies

This is the 4-year effort of German research, just announced earlier this week at a conference in France.

But first of all, you have to know what is the EM Drive engine.

What is the EM Drive engine?

The electric drive from EM Drive is a theoretical propulsion given by the British inventor, Roger Shawyer in 1999. Instead of using heavy and expensive rocket fuel, EM Drive will use the The microwave photon strikes continuously in its cavity to create thrust.

According to Mr. Shawyer's calculations, EM Drive will be able to take us to Mars in a mere 70 days. The only thing that makes this technology unusable is that it goes against the physical laws that we still know.

According to Newton: In any case, when object A acts on object B a force, then object B also repeats object A with a force. These two forces have the same value, the same magnitude, but the opposite.

That means that in order for an engine to "push" , it must push something out so it can move forward. As in the universe, that thing is burning fuel. But EM Drive works without fuel, it works thanks to the microwave photon bouncing back and forth in a sealed metal cage. That particle motion makes EM Drive create thrust, bringing the "tip" forward.

From the day we discovered the budding universe, we had a desire to get a way to move through space or quickly, or to save fuel or both. That's why people chase after their dreams with such enthusiasm. Not long ago, NASA also revealed to announce that this engine worked. However, this information is believed to be unreliable, partly because NASA's testing itself has many loopholes, the thrust may not come from this EM Drive engine itself, in part to NASA itself. say more.

In a scientific report given before the Space Thrust Conference in France, a team of German physicists announced the SpaceDrive project , a program to study the propulsion mechanism of the rocket they expected. that with it, one day we will go through the galaxy with it.

Specifically, they announced the results of electric motor research from EM Drive. They didn't uncover the secrets of how this engine works, but they still create an extremely sensitive instrument, besides other small successes that allow future EM Drive tests. will be more effective.

German scientists are building an engine testing facility correctly, to answer once for the question "Is the EM Drive really working?". In their study, they said that over the past four years, they have designed a balanced balance in a vacuum chamber, which can measure EM Drive motor movement with a laser .

The EM Drive engine created by German physicists is a copper compartment similar to the NASA engine built and tested in 2016. The German team limits the energy supply to the engine to level 2. Watt senses that laser senses a strong thrust of 4 micro-Newtons. Taking this level as the norm, we have this EM Drive power-thrust ratio of 2 milliseconds / kilowatt, almost double what NASA achieved 1.3 milliseconds / kilowatt.

Scientists have found that when they redirect the "tip" of the EM Drive engine, the engine's propulsion direction also changes but the thrust doesn't decrease, even though this EM Drive engine is in a state of looking create thrust, no matter how much energy is put into it.

"This clearly shows that this repulsive force does not come from inside the engine, but comes from some electromagnetic interaction," the scientists wrote in their report. "No matter how hard we try to wrap the wire, there will still be some magnetic fields that can escape."

When they calculated the other force through the combination of the Earth's magnetic field, the length of the cable and the current flowing in the same fishing line, they produced results in several Newton microphones, equivalent to the tracking results. be in the vacuum chamber.

"Since then, we suspect that the interaction between the electromagnetic force and the Earth's magnetic field obscures the real result." In subsequent tests, they will use special metal plates to shield the EM Drive engine from other electromagnetic influences. This will be a remarkable point, because NASA's test does not include these metal plates.

And in conclusion, the German scientists did not prove that EM Drive created thrust itself. But they were able to eliminate the factors that influenced the research results, and would be more complete in future trials. They consider this experiment "a learning experience with the potential to find something that promotes the space exploration industry to reach a new horizon".

Besides, they have created a super sensitive device that can measure the smallest thrust. In future tests, if EM Drive can create thrust, we will know for sure.
