Correct, the energy to power it comes from sunlight or artificial light. But the connection to the "impossible engine" could be that a magnetic field generated by the microwaves may be pushing against the earths magnetic field and that is what causes the "impossible engine" to move. seems to me, the valid proof of concept test would then to be to drive it out from earth, and then turn it around and come back. |

Or try to get it to move at right angles to the earths magnetic field. Like I said, I'm sure if that's what is going on, NASA would have figured it out.

So putting an object in low earth orbit totally escapes the earths magnetic field?.. Erm.... Am I ahead of myself here by stating that its what keeps most of the suns harmful rays away from the earth and therefore we depend on a HUGE magnetic field that has effects even out as far as the moon?.. |

Nobody said that putting something in orbit escapes the earths magnetic field.

Nobody said that putting something in orbit escapes the earths magnetic field. however, it does significantly attenuate the magnetic field. which requires some compensation for astronaut comfort. |

At the orbit of the ISS (200 miles), I doubt that the earths magnetic field is much weaker than it is on the surface. |

when you are producing thrust in concept form, I would have thought at "micron" level, having a yowge magnet is going t distort things?...
I therefore suggest that unless you can measure the magnet, if you cant your in the wrong place, and if you can, you already know by how much its distorting things ?

well, that's good they don't have to worry about getting pulled over by the physics police. |

Watching something last night on the BBC I-Player, the search for a new earth, Plasma drives. Starting here.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_thrusterThe idea is that you change the state of the propellant to what is basically Lightning.... Plasma. The forth state of being. Solid, Liquid, Gas, Plasma. Possibility that mars-in-a-moth is in fact possible?.. www.theregister.co.uk/2011/03/10/ad_astra_nasa_vf200_announcement/All is concentrated in the exhaust by means of Magnetism... a LOT of magnetism... maybe you dont want to stand too close if you have fillings?.. On watching the program, there are many questions. The greatest being, what happens when we get there?. Do we visit and return home, or make an outpost?. And then, how the heck to slow down. |

The independent researches in Germany got those results?.
I am not so sure that the JPL/NASA research got the same results?.

Assuming that interaction with the Earth's magnetosphere is what is going on, could this still have it's applications? My first thought is a maintenance thruster for low earth orbit satellites what are still able to interact with the magnetic field.
It may not be what we originally thought, but it could still have it's uses. The ability to maintain orbit in LEO without carrying fuel and just running of solar panels would still be a game changer for satellite design, even if it doen't work with high orbits.
