According to several media reports, a peer-reviewed paper on EmDrive will be published in AIAA Journal of Propulsion and Power of American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. The scientific community is obviously one step closer to solving the mystery of electromagnetic engines.
Theoretically, EmDrive reflects microwaves back and forth in a sealed cavity, thus generating radiation pressure and pushing the spacecraft forward. The engine is powered by solar energy, which means that the EmDrive spacecraft does not need to carry any fuel.
If it can be realized, it will be a great breakthrough. For example, our satellite can be shrunk by half because we don't need fuel. Humans can also go deeper into the universe and push themselves all the way.
Will it be the future of space flight?
This idea is usually considered unrealistic, because the characteristic of "no fuel" means that goods directly violate the law of conservation of momentum. This means that it can generate a forward thrust without the same reverse thrust. Cook a chestnut. The rocket flies because there is exhaust gas at the other end.
At present, four independent laboratories, including NASA, have built this propulsion system.
At the Spacelight Forum of NASA, it was revealed that this new paper was written by the Eagleworks team of NASA and passed the academic review.
"As far as I know, Eaglework's new paper has been approved for publication in a peer-reviewed journal today," said a Spacelight user named Dr. José Rodal of NASA. But this message has been deleted.
Earlier this year, at the same forum, Eagleworks engineer Paul March confirmed that his team was writing a paper on EmDrive.
"Eagleworks Lab has not stopped, and we are still working hard according to the goals set by NASA," Washington post said in March. "I don't want to say more about a thing of the past. It's good for you to listen to what Dr. Radahl said. Please be patient, we will publish a new paper in the next class. Peer review is as slow as an old cow. "
Egg friend comments:
Msmxh: This is a non-working medium propeller, not a curvature engine, which is quite different.
Fuckjap: Is there no working medium and warp speed the same thing?
Shout 64:@zmj: You can't say that he violated the conservation of energy, because his energy comes from the stars.
Om Reddy Gaga: I can read every word.

The new experiment shows that the engine without working medium seems to be somewhat feasible.
