Danger Room What's Next in National Security 'Impossible' Device Could Propel Flying Cars, Stealth Missiles


www.wired.com
The heart of the Emdrive is a resonant, tapered cavity filled with microwaves.

The idea is a craft capable of making the 10,000-mile run from London to Sydney, Australia in under three hours … or taking a 40-ton payload on the moon in about four days. It will be capable of vertical takeoff and hovering silently in place. If successful, it will be adapted as a personal transport -– your very own flying car.

some additional info on EmDrive from wikipedia. hopefully, i'll finally have one of 'em dang flyin' cars before i'm too old to enjoy one.

Well it probably is in some fashion using zero point energy which has been proven by the Casimir Effect. If in fact the guy has developed a way to tap the energy of the vacuum, I would not give a plugged nickel for his life or his gadget because if he is like everyone else that has managed to come up with something that works him and his device will disappear never to be seen again.

"some unknown force at work" - that could have once been used to describe magnetism, radiation, photosynthesis, gravity - take your pick. And people might have been ridiculed for saying that about those things, too.

I'm excited about this. I wonder if this would count as anti-gravity or a pseudo-anti-gravity.

One day they could have those EmDrives miniaturized down to fit onto a skateboard, perhaps.

I've said for a while now [years] that we need a technological leap in energy production. While the envrios are trying to get us to use less energy, just imagine the possibilities with lots of energy. If you charge an electromagnet high enough you can levitate almost anything...electromagnetic fields can hold shapes of charged plasma that can be used like a light saber from star wars...if we could create gigawatts of electricity I think the possibilities for levitation and transportation are endless
I wish someone had the money and know-how to test of all Tesla's theories
