The rocket's force is 1/3 G. Which is also the gravitational pull or Mars. In theory, a person can become accustomed to the gravity in a three months time to Mars in the VASMIR.
This is cutting edge astronautics. Chemical rockets/thrusters would be long gone before you even reach the Oort Cloud. A system like this would provide continued thrust for years, even decades, with solar panels and/or a radioisotope thermoelectric generator to feed the reaction.
If you continue to exert a force in the frictionless vacuum, your velocity will continually increase. Theoretically, given long enough, you could achieve near luminal velocities, making extra-solar travel possible.
This is a great propulsion system, but it has a terrible flaw... The nuclear reactors required for this Engine simply does not exist. Youre asking for something like with the strength of steel with the weight of styrofoam..
@FirstMaje They'll be dead by then. 14,000 people die of starvation everyday, even though there is more than enough food in the world to feed the global population. It's the way things are managed by those who have a monopoly on wealth. They'd rather spend 12 trillion dollars making Satan's toy plasma rocket than saving 14,000 people a day from slow painful deaths. There's a 95% chance they are planning to murder you too in their bid to reduce the population to 500,000,000. Look up "Agenda 21"
@Galv140577 ive tried to write this 3 times but in a simplistic manner, it is causality that causes an influx of people through the greed of capitalism. no one cant feed or try to feed all the starving kids because when they get older they will have kids and the process will repeat. the only way to solve a population problem is to keep the food import rate the same because if it increases then the cost of overall food will increase and the population of other animals will decrease (1/3

@fatqwert200 Sounds to me like you couldn't care less. You actually think it would be a nice kind good thing to do if you castrated millions of people??? These are living breathing people exactly the same thing as what you are.
@shawn8093 Here's a better idea: In 1992 an inventor called Stanley Meyer invented a car that uses water as fuel. H2O is actually several times more potent than hydro-carbon (petrol) which we use today, it's a million times cleaner & safer. & best of all it's free & abundantly available. After building a prototype & refusing offers of $millions to shut up & forget the idea by the huge oil companies, he was murdered. The patents still exist & so does the idea. Why not make all cars run on water?
@Galv140577 He died of a cerebral aneurysm, not murdered. And he never actually built such a thing. He was even sued by some investors because it never worked. so.... uh sorry
@zeppelin67637 There are literally thousands of people recreating his work, & running their cars on water, they just keep quiet about it because they don't want to get harrassed & even murdered by the thugs who have a monopoly on the oil industry.
@mynameissooriginal2 the elctricity is pulsed at the resonant frequency to break the water molecules into HHO. This is then burnt to release the energy, the water vapour is fed back with the ambient air & the HHO & electrolysized again at resonant frequency & so on.... whatever. It works. People are using it =) You are missing out. You are punishing yourself with your stubborn ignorance. I just hope other people don't allow themselves to get dragged down with you. Loser.
@Galv140577 You obviously don't understand the process yourself. Just because you are using resonance doesn't mean the water takes less energy to electrolyse, and because it takes the same amount of energy to electrolyse, you will still need to put in more energy than you will take out. IE, this is nothing better than a standard electrolysis battery. It's not fucking rocket science.
@mynameissooriginal2 It's not the electrolysis that splits the water. The resonance is what does it. You can actually split water molecules & get overunity simply by smashing them against each other but thats another topic. What the resonant pulse does is cause them to self-destruct. You don't understand it because you don't want to understand it.
@Galv140577 You can't get negative entropy, the energy required to split a molecule is the same regardless of how you are splitting it, resonance won't reduce matter into energy, and you don't understand reality because you want to believe in your fantasies. So tell me, if this technology is fantastic, and this technology works, do you have a magic car that doesn't need energy input?
@mynameissooriginal2 I'm not talking about using resonance to reduce matter into energy, the resonance only breaks the water molecules. The energy is released when the resultant HHO is burnt.
@Galv140577 It doesn't matter what method you use to split a molecule, it will always, in all cases, under any circumstances, always, take EXACTLY the same amount of force to split a molecule. I am dubious of whether or not you can actually lyse water this way, but it's going to have the same efficiency as regular electrolysis. It's still not rocket science.

@cutlass3501 the point of the rocket is not to go fast with a big short burst of thrust like a ordinary rocket, but to run for a long time with small thrust and when your in space, and keep on applying a force, it will move the object faster and faster over time. getting its energy from the sun

i think they declared that they are going to test it in space in 2014.
i say thats enough tests, we should just go for it. for the love of God what is it all mean! we keep preparing for known dangers of space, while there are a lot of things we don't even know exist out there.
Mars explorers may run in trouble very early in the mission, some may not even make it to Mars. this is why they call it expedition not a picnic!
@Ahmed2011April Main problem is money. They get less than 1% of the budget. Can't go crazy with that, if a mission goes wrong then it's a major setback, all that money wasted for nothing. Let them plan, they are very good at that, all that ground breaking stuff they are doing and it almost never goes wrong, let's hope they keep that pace! Glad to see it's gonna be tested in space soon. The plasma engine is amazing! Uses only 39 days to get to Mars!!! can you believe that!?
@lakewood85 Oh, kids today. They are not trying to create special effects. They are trying to create a rocket that can bring people from point A to point B. Yes, this is something people used to do called "travelling".
what has this rocket got to do with religion? how is electro magnetic containment plasma anything to do with god? you people need to relax a little. look up the name DAVID ADAIR because he actually invented this rocket 40 years ago.
@Talkingpie100 LOL I never said I was humble and I'm certainly not prideful. Why don't you take a good look at your first paragraph up there--it applies directly to you. You are one of those people that blame things on someone else when in fact it is yourself you are talking about. And you don't make sense in what you say, you just blabber & call names.You have no argument--and you write as if you are high on drugs XD
@Talkingpie100 Being Christian is not about being respected and especially not worshiped. It's about Jesus Christ. In fact when someone finds out that I'm Christian on the internet, they decide to write disrespectful or hateful replies. God loves you. I don't merely believe in God. I KNOW God! God has answered some very personal prayers of mine in amazing ways--ways that could not happen by chance. Instead of hateful, God is peaceful. Just don't make Him angry!
@Helge129 IIRC mean? Of course God has killed people--they tested Him. The people that God killed in the Bible were people that did not follow His commands and rebelled against Him. Or they attacked His chosen people. I'd say most of them knew what they were getting into & were forewarned. Or they were careless. He is a God of love--but also, do not test God. The Lord God Almighty is the most powerful being in all the universe. Let God deal with the enemy. Satan would kill us all if he could
@ntrudr800 To me that defines him as a tyrant, a maniac, and a power-obsessed megalomaniac. Not someone I'd worship to be honest, even less someone I'd call "good" or "peaceful". Short: The more I know about god, the less I believe in him. Not like it's possible to subtract from "nothing" anyway.
@Helge129 You just don't know Him. God is perfect. We deserve Hell for our sins. It is especially bad on our part if we not only rebel against God but pervert his creation. It is like asking to be struck by lightning! XD God does not want to kill us or want us to go to Hell. He wants us to come back to Him through believing in Jesus. It is then that he forgives us. When I was younger I was scared of Him. It was later that I realized He loved me. I've seen nothing but good come from God
People that critize you like me and perhaps helge129 does so for the same reasons as mine.
But first of all, many people do believe, even atheists. Well there are people that dont but its not the majority of people critizing you.
For me god is a force, rather then a person. And that I do not believe in saints or holy persons. Prophets like jesus for example. I in fact do believe that jesus has existed. The whole tale around his character however, one big spiritual fairy tale.
People that believe in religions like christianity and muslim believe in a life perspective that was enhanced 500-1500years ago. Religions are static beliefs and values. It makes you ignorant.
You havent even figured that almost every force in nature that was described as a phenomena 500years ago is mostly all explained. All people that reformed and researched modern technologies were mostly atheist kinda characters.
And they dislike to see a douch like you making important unexamined
@Armigo91 I don't believe in Religion. I believe in God. I put my Faith in Jesus who died for my sins. I try to read the Bible, God's word. And I pray to God. God answers my prayers. I am considered 'Non Denominational Christian.' I don't care for Religion, it means nothing to me. A Christian is one who follows Christ Jesus. A lot of people have gotten this mixed up with other things. Like Religion. God is more than that :)
This is for deep space travel. Its ionizing hydrogen and pushing off it. The reason being we cannot use our molecules in space or we will change our earths magnetic/gravitational pull.
The point of this is not to launch a rocket from Earth to space with plasma, but instead, in the vastness of space, use a plasma rocket to slowly accelerate a spacecraft to immense speeds without using much energy.
@bob84676 a piece of paper has no thrust generating capabilities at all... well I suppose that is an apt description then. Plasma rockets still have really low thrust compared to, say, solid rocket fuel, but much, much better than ion thrusters. VASIMR or a similar propulsion system will take us to Mars, if we ever go, I can say it will be the propulsion of choice with 100% confidence.
@drewsisely True, it is one of the only things that can. But in space there is very little friction. So a small ammont of thrust can get a craft to high speeds. However, It still has very little thrust. So OVER TIME, yes it will go to the speed of light. An Ion thruster is vvery, very weak. It, like I said, Only has about the thrust as the weight of a piece of paper.
@r3ap3rrr this isn't a laser rocket. it is a plasma rocket that uses focused radio frequency energy (like in your microwave oven) to heat a working fluid to a million degrees or so turning it into a plasma. then the plasma is directed along a persistent superconducting electromagnet's field lines (which cause micro-orbits and constrict the motion largely to one dimension) that happens to be a magnetic mirror. this magnetic mirror is like a particle filter for high-velocity particles to escape
Respond to this video... ad astra: i've been working on the physics for the last year. according to the ANS/AIAA expert panel at NETS, we have some serious electrical power issues. well, my team may have the solution.... we'll see what comes of our SBIR's and BAA. much of the concept is the same except the plasma generation pulls from ion/hall hollow cathode design or laser gain mediums pumped directly by a solid core reactor
@doverdx you don't think we've already tried something so obvious? It doesn't even kinda work; it breaks down from laser gain resistance. We weren't expecting it to work though, don't know why you did.
@Owens867 You can increase the current density (up to 100A/cm2 with fairly low evaporation rates) by doping the inside of the lasing tube with lanthanum hexaboride, as used in "low-temperature hollow cathodes". However, the population inversion will still require some input energy (W-SCEM) but that gets you free electrons that can then bombard your gain medium. But you know, I'm sure you've already thought of everything...
Honestly I see religion as just an emotional crutch for people who are too weak to accept the harsh reality of life and who are desperate for an answer to everything. I'm not saying it's bad, but it may not be the best idea to go preaching about Jesus on a video of the most recent scientific advances.
@JaoquinQ It by that there more similar people are afraid of progress of the science but what they do not understand it is that it is not the science which is dangerous but what make the people
For those who say faster than light travel is impossible, not true. It's only implausible. The laws of physics as we know them are in place because they have not been contested after many years of being theories, however the laws have been wrong in the past. Many ideas were thought to be impossible or merely the work of science fiction but many have come to fruition. One should not bind themselves too much with the laws and use them more like guidelines.
@theodofustwinsword I don't think that we should think in terms of laws being "right" or "wrong".
The "Laws of Physics" are part of our model of the universe. It's a working model that we can use to help us understand, and exploit, various phenomena. At some point somebody will collect some data that will make us question one of those Laws, or even modify or replace it. That has been happening since Galileo. It's how Science progresses. But for now, we work with the model we have.
@eventcone You pretty much summed my initial statement up in a much more complex manner. I did not say these laws are completely irrelevant, but more of guidelines than actual laws. It is my belief that in not contesting the validity of these laws we only hinder our own scientific progress by walling ourselves in. Please read and understand my statement rather than focus on key words.
@theodofustwinsword Well, if your overall meaning is that the Laws of Science are not absolute and unbreakable, then I am certainly in agreement with you. I merely wanted to suggest (respectfully) that such Laws should not be "contested" lightly. Apologies if I have misunderstood your meaning. :-)
@eventcone Very well stated, accurate and well put. The greatest benefit to progressing forward into science is to admit we don't understand or know, but will continue forward in that search with an open and ready mind.

@y512516 They never will, these engines are supposed to accelerate over long periods of time in a vacuum. The final velocity is much greater than that of a conventional rocket, but chemical rockets can provide more thrust in a short amount of time.
@Buayacool Imagine the cumulative effect of that continuous acceleration over several months. Combustion engines can't compete with this efficiency. Moreover, this engine is meant to be deployed in orbit where there's no atmospheric resistance or disturbance.
Thumbs up if you got here from Kennedy's moon speech.

i think they declared that they are going to test it in space in 2014.
i say thats enough tests, we should just go for it. for the love of God what is it all mean! we keep preparing for known dangers of space, while there are a lot of things we don't even know exist out there.
Mars explorers may run in trouble very early in the mission, some may not even make it to Mars. this is why they call it expedition not a picnic!
i will give half of my life to be on such mission

@Ahmed2011April Main problem is money. They get less than 1% of the budget. Can't go crazy with that, if a mission goes wrong then it's a major setback, all that money wasted for nothing. Let them plan, they are very good at that, all that ground breaking stuff they are doing and it almost never goes wrong, let's hope they keep that pace! Glad to see it's gonna be tested in space soon. The plasma engine is amazing! Uses only 39 days to get to Mars!!! can you believe that!?

@Talkingpie100 Being Christian is not about being respected and especially not worshiped. It's about Jesus Christ. In fact when someone finds out that I'm Christian on the internet, they decide to write disrespectful or hateful replies. God loves you. I don't merely believe in God. I KNOW God! God has answered some very personal prayers of mine in amazing ways--ways that could not happen by chance. Instead of hateful, God is peaceful. Just don't make Him angry!

The Lord God Almighty is the most powerful being in all the universe. Let God deal with the enemy. Satan would kill us all if he could

It is like asking to be struck by lightning! XD God does not want to kill us or want us to go to Hell. He wants us to come back to Him through believing in Jesus. It is then that he forgives us. When I was younger I was scared of Him. It was later that I realized He loved me. I've seen nothing but good come from God

For me god is a force, rather then a person. And that I do not believe in saints or holy persons. Prophets like jesus for example. I in fact do believe that jesus has existed. The whole tale around his character however, one big spiritual fairy tale.

@bob84676 a piece of paper has no thrust generating capabilities at all... well I suppose that is an apt description then. Plasma rockets still have really low thrust compared to, say, solid rocket fuel, but much, much better than ion thrusters. VASIMR or a similar propulsion system will take us to Mars, if we ever go, I can say it will be the propulsion of choice with 100% confidence.

@bob84676 Lies, A ion thruster is extremely powerful its one of the only things that could propell anything near the speed of light.
drewsisely 9 months ago
@drewsisely True, it is one of the only things that can. But in space there is very little friction. So a small ammont of thrust can get a craft to high speeds. However, It still has very little thrust. So OVER TIME, yes it will go to the speed of light. An Ion thruster is vvery, very weak. It, like I said, Only has about the thrust as the weight of a piece of paper.

@r3ap3rrr this isn't a laser rocket. it is a plasma rocket that uses focused radio frequency energy (like in your microwave oven) to heat a working fluid to a million degrees or so turning it into a plasma. then the plasma is directed along a persistent superconducting electromagnet's field lines (which cause micro-orbits and constrict the motion largely to one dimension) that happens to be a magnetic mirror. this magnetic mirror is like a particle filter for high-velocity particles to escape

Respond to this video... ad astra: i've been working on the physics for the last year. according to the ANS/AIAA expert panel at NETS, we have some serious electrical power issues. well, my team may have the solution.... we'll see what comes of our SBIR's and BAA. much of the concept is the same except the plasma generation pulls from ion/hall hollow cathode design or laser gain mediums pumped directly by a solid core reactor
doverdx 6 months ago
@doverdx you don't think we've already tried something so obvious? It doesn't even kinda work; it breaks down from laser gain resistance. We weren't expecting it to work though, don't know why you did.
Owens867 6 months ago
@Owens867 You can increase the current density (up to 100A/cm2 with fairly low evaporation rates) by doping the inside of the lasing tube with lanthanum hexaboride, as used in "low-temperature hollow cathodes". However, the population inversion will still require some input energy (W-SCEM) but that gets you free electrons that can then bombard your gain medium. But you know, I'm sure you've already thought of everything...
doverdx 6 months ago
Honestly I see religion as just an emotional crutch for people who are too weak to accept the harsh reality of life and who are desperate for an answer to everything. I'm not saying it's bad, but it may not be the best idea to go preaching about Jesus on a video of the most recent scientific advances.

For those who say faster than light travel is impossible, not true. It's only implausible. The laws of physics as we know them are in place because they have not been contested after many years of being theories, however the laws have been wrong in the past. Many ideas were thought to be impossible or merely the work of science fiction but many have come to fruition. One should not bind themselves too much with the laws and use them more like guidelines.
theodofustwinsword 10 months ago
@theodofustwinsword I don't think that we should think in terms of laws being "right" or "wrong".
The "Laws of Physics" are part of our model of the universe. It's a working model that we can use to help us understand, and exploit, various phenomena. At some point somebody will collect some data that will make us question one of those Laws, or even modify or replace it. That has been happening since Galileo. It's how Science progresses. But for now, we work with the model we have.
eventcone 10 months ago 41
@eventcone You pretty much summed my initial statement up in a much more complex manner. I did not say these laws are completely irrelevant, but more of guidelines than actual laws. It is my belief that in not contesting the validity of these laws we only hinder our own scientific progress by walling ourselves in. Please read and understand my statement rather than focus on key words.
theodofustwinsword 10 months ago
@theodofustwinsword Well, if your overall meaning is that the Laws of Science are not absolute and unbreakable, then I am certainly in agreement with you. I merely wanted to suggest (respectfully) that such Laws should not be "contested" lightly. Apologies if I have misunderstood your meaning. :-)

Actually, the speed-of-light IS, without a doubt, the fastest an object can travel.
it's the point an object maxes out it's ratio of movement-thru-space Vs Movement-thru-time.
the object stops moving through time at it reaches the speed of light.
Thats why photons from different stars dont decay on thier way here, to the photon, it gets here instantly,
