Reactionless Propulsion Achieved at Greater than 100 Pounds of Lift.
The nature of the free electron, photon and absolute space confirmed by the production of over 100 lbs of reactionless lift enabling trans-medium, omnidirectional craft of mega-pound-scale lift to provide unconstrained mobility to transverse the oceans, sky, and solar system using inexpensive commercially available components. At an exemplary very tolerable acceleration of two times gravitational acceleration, the corresponding travel times from Philadelphia to Tokyo Japan, and to the Moon, and Mars are 18 minutes, 1 hour 45 minutes, and 2 days, respectively.
Specifically, as a special exception to Newton’s third law, not considered by Newton, was the absorption of a photon by a free electron moving with positive velocity relative to its absolute-space inertial frame of reference, the frame corresponding to the creation of the electron at rest (i.e. zero kinetic energy above its exact photon production energy). Absolute space conserves the mass-energy inventory of the universe. Conservation of energy and angular momentum of the photon and electron that absorbs the photon requires the photon and its energy transition to the electron at an increased kinetic energy in the initial direction of travel. The transition is reactionless due to the object of reaction being spacetime that propagates the photon. This phenomenon called space drive provides a mechanism for a reactionless propulsion system. Using space drive, the plasma confinement was achieved which is also shown to be the mechanism of the confinement of plasma outside of flattened waveguide and microwave cavity sources of atmospheric pressure plasma jets. Jets spanning lengths that are 100,000 times higher than possible based on the limiting recombination lifetime of plasma in the absence of microwave power to maintain them is shown to be due to space drive. Moreover, the plasma sound speed and plasma pressure were determined using plasma electron density and temperature measurements, and it was observed that the plasma pressure was made directional by space drive with agreement between corresponding calculated and experimentally observed extent of confinement of powerless plasma jets and the maximum lift capability of space drive. Specifically, the observation of supersonic propagating lift of over 46.9 kg (103.3 lbs.) with 330 W of microwave power applied for 40 ms corresponding to 13.2 J is reported. The measured lift for energy absorbed matched physical predictions. This first-of-a-kind space drive prototype demonstrated a weight to power ratio lift capability of about 3 W/lbs. which compares very favorably to that of Starship of 655,000 W/lb.
