On the exhaust of electromagnetic drive

Abstract: Recent reports about propulsion without reaction mass have been met on one hand with enthusiasm and on the other hand with some doubts. Namely, closed metal cavities, when fueled with microwaves, have delivered thrust that could eventually maintain satellites on orbits using solar power. However, the measured thrust appears to be without any apparent exhaust. Thus the Law of Action-Reaction seems to have been violated. We consider the possibility that the exhaust is in a form that has so far escaped both exper… Show more

“…30 Accordingly, when a subsystem opens up for radiative emission, at least one bound quantum of action as an integral part of the matter will become a free quantum as an integral part of the surrounding space. 29,31,44 Contrarywise, quanta are absorbed from radiation to matter.…”

“…As implicitly suggested in the foregoing sentence, the easiest way to solve the paradox may consist in demonstrating, first and foremost, that the device in question cannot be properly regarded as a closed system. For the sake of clarity, we reveal in advance that the detectability of the exhaust [26], a term that actually will turn out to be not entirely suitable for the hypothesized scenario, is not herein addressed.…”
