It seems to work: if so, it would be one of the most important technological innovations of the last centuries. Let's talk about Emdrive, the magnetic propulsion engine that could carry humans to Mars in 70 days.
Of this technology is much talk, not only because it can theoretically generate a boost vastly superior
to conventional engines, but also because (they say) it seems to work, even in defiance of the laws of classical physics.
Laws, Roger Shawyer (dell'EmDrive inventor), they do not need to describe it: the motor is instead interpreted as part of the relativistic mechanics, and there would therefore not contravene the laws of nature.
To find out if the Emdrive is something concrete, or a colossal blunder (or, worse, a hoax concocted well) you have to wait an article in the Journal of Propulsion and Power of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics announced for the month of December with of the NASA test report.
These days, however, he is back to talk dell'EmDrive because they have leaked news about important positive results of those tests: the network is in fact circulated a document that would set the preliminary results, which confirm the potential of the electromagnetic motor (see img on the side ).
For the sake of truth we must still add that the document (and the test results) is yet to be validated, and can therefore not be taken as final verdict. And he would not be the first time that an "inventor" and a clique of more or less qualified people and more or less credited using the same formula ( "nasa" included) to decant the scientific truth of an invention "almost industrialized" that then he reveals a hoax, as taught, for example, the sad story of cold fusion and bla-bla Eng. Rossi and his imitators.
The work that transpires from the document seems very complete and detailed, but waiting for an official announcement suggest everyone not to let yourself get carried away. Sull'EmDrive us asap update.
