How does it work, and how fast can it go?
Jayden Lee
It bounces microwaves around inside of itself and slaps its bum like an insideout drum for thrust
It doesn't move at all, every prototype is a nonfunctional failed proof of concept to humor a fringe theory
Owen Smith
>How does it work
Nobody knows for sure if it even works at all. Something about microwaves bouncing inside the cone-shaped chamber if I recall correctly.
>How fast can it go
As fast as the law of physics will let you. The real question is how many centuries would it take to accelerate to a decent speed given the fact that the force allegedly produced by the engine is minuscule.
Ayden Bailey
>Engine based on RNG
Thrust was too small proved useless, RNG was not on humanities side.
David Ortiz
It moves by pulling its own hair, basically. Hair being electrons.
Jack Campbell
Still bullshit. Asymmetric cavity resonators are not magic carpets
Jayden Sanders
still a meme

>Shoot energy one direction
>it moves the opposite.
it works just not on any decent scale.
Charles Anderson
Every time someone tests it you get: Haha, shit's junk we'll run a quick test just to be sure and toss it all out.
Test comes back inconclusive, may produce thrust.
Every fucking time.
Just tether the damned thing to the ISS and feed it some current you faggots.

It's shit and even if it worked it's still shit

I just came here to post this same video
Gabriel Moore
>b-but my hair is shaped like a cone!
Dominic Watson
no because it doesn't work
Cameron Cruz
The status is still that it fails to deliver on the initial promises, possibly outperforms a photon thruster, but that the thrust may be forward, backward, or orthogonal to the intended direction, right?

if it does work you could always, oh, i don't know, mount more than one.
Aaron Cruz
if the thrust is not aligned to the intended direction you could, oh, i don't know, ROTATE THE MOUNT.

friendly reminder when ion drive was invented nobody knew how it worked
Angel Russell
thunderfoot is kind of a dupshit.
*something* is happening that isn't completely understood. Whether or not it will result in usable thrust remains to be seen... but "if science hasn't heard about it yet, it doesn't exist" isn't exactly conclusively busting it.
This type of argument only works when you're dealing with things that don't have many unknowns. This is not that.
For the record, it probably won't work... but calling it busted is a tad premature.

Its electrically loaded particles accelerated by a magnetic field and dumped out the back how complicated is that?
Colton Ortiz
More you mount more your ship weights making drivers less effective
Brayden Lee
You're way fucking off with that pic.
The only reason they say the em drive can't work is because it break laws because of the amount of non speed limited thrust produced.
As in, you can strap a long enough leaver to it and a generator. and it will be able to make more energy than it consumes.
Brayden Adams
>The first person to mention the idea publicly was Konstantin Tsiolkovsky in 1911.
Yup, 30 years before all that was proven to exist.
Jeremiah Reyes
>how complicated are ion thrusters
is this guy serious? you probably can't even make a basic fm radio you brainlet.
