A NASA engineer and co-founder of Exodus Propulsion Technologies has claimed that his company's propellantless propulsion drive system has generated enough thrust to counteract Earth's gravity.
This discovery, which appears to defy the known laws of physics, could potentially revolutionize space travel for the next millennium.
"The most important message to convey to the public is that a major discovery occurred," Buhler told The Debrief.
"This discovery of a New Force is fundamental in that electric fields alone can generate a sustainable force onto an object and allow center-of-mass translation of said object without expelling mass."
The concept of a propellantless drive, also known as the "impossible drive," was first introduced in 2001 by British Electrical Engineer Roger Shawyer. The EmDrive, as it was called, claimed to be reactionless, requiring no propellant and defying the known laws of physics, specifically the conservation of momentum. Despite two decades of testing, the EmDrive was ultimately deemed bunk in 2021.
However, the dream of a propellantless machine persisted, and now, a new challenger has emerged with the backing of a former NASA scientist. Buhler, who helped establish the Electrostatics and Surface Physics Laboratory at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, claims that his team at Exodus Propulsion Technologies has created a drive powered by a "New Force" outside our current known laws of physics.
How the EmDrive supposedly works
The EmDrive consists of a conical cavity filled with microwaves. The device's inventor, British engineer Roger Shawyer, proposes that the microwaves bouncing inside the cavity can create a difference in radiation pressure, resulting in a net thrust towards the narrow end of the cone.
This concept challenges our understanding of physics, as it suggests that a closed system can generate propulsion without any external reaction mass.

Is this an example of Reverse Engineering of NHI technology?

Perhaps it is…..just maaaaaybe

I know you like your Batteridge headlines- but surely the fact you also highlighted Shawyer came up with a similar principle (years before) had you hesitating?
Oh and its the Debrief....they are having a propulsion revolution - whether you like it or not.
One from last week.....at least this has some workings.

Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." It is named after Ian Betteridge, a British technology journalist who wrote about it in 2009, although the principle is much older.
It is based on the assumption that if the publishers were confident that the answer was yes, they would have presented it as an assertion; by presenting it as a question, they are not accountable for whether it is correct or not. The adage does not apply to questions that are more open-ended than strict yes–no questions
Yes, the Why Files has put out some really relevant content lately and some of it has been really eye opening.
NASA engineer found dead. 12 gunshots to back of his head was apparent suicide according to coroner. This comes just days after his company was raided by the FBI and erupted into flames less than an hour later.

That's a terrific show. And now that they have it on Amazon Prime I can watch it on the big screen instead of just on the computer screen.
