so now who's going to tell me the roswel story is fake, I mean COME ON where else would they get the idea to use light as a form of thrust in a circular craft powered by a satellite drawing the energy from the SUN.
We need to understand that this is a technology that is still in the development stages. As for the heat that gets generated, there would be shielding from that heat and of course an efficient way to convert the heat into useful energy that could be used for all types of applications on board the ship.

This is evidence that there have been actual alien spacecraft recovered by the government. This looks to me like an inferior reversed engineered propulsion system from one of those alien spaceraft but in a small prototype.not exactly the same as the alien's one because the alien spacecraft somehow has all what is needed to create those "shockwaves" to propell it. I'd love to work on reverse engeneering alien tech just like many other people do. But no actual college classes teaching propulsion.
that will definetely NOT function in space,for a simple reason: the space doesn't have an atmosfere,so the laser will not heat/dilatate any gas in order to give a pulse....so try another metod....greetings from Romania
@SmokeWeedEvryDayDK the space rockets are using a special fuel,which can burn WHITHOUT air,actually a new method is prepared in Romania,a spaceship jet which will use Oxigenated water,just search in youtube for the channel named ARCAchannel,they publish videos whith the construction of the E 111 spaceship,the romanian project for Google X prize for getting a spaceship to the moon.....;)
@SmokeWeedEvryDayDK Yeah but I thought the whole point was that the rocket would not need any fuel on board? To make pockets of a gas in space, it would need a tank full of it. It might as well, then, be a standard rocket.
Oh, my dear! When I think about the amount of time I have spent trying to get my head around the idea of "specific impulse" and why the unit is "seconds" without success, and now hear it explained, accurately, in just a few words, at about 4:00 in this video it just makes me wonder. Even the usually trustworthy Wikipedia's article on the matter was unreasonably impenetrable back when I checked it out.
THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME!!!! I'm glad I got to see this. I wonder how far they have come with this laser engine since that program aired..., looks promising.
I wish that when people posted segments of documentaries like this, they would tell you which documentary it came from. I want to watch the whole thing!
I met a guy in a Barnes and Noble bookstore who said he designed a car that could run on laser beams. I thought he was bullshitting me, even after he showed me the highly detailed schematics for it.
and people dont believe in aliens? this is incredible, imagine a material that wouldnt burn up or break from the heat, and imagine a constant laser beam. this would mean supersonic speeds, cmon now.
they have a great ideo but why put a satterlite to give it energy while they could build an onboard system on the craft when it is in space so it can collect energy from the sun and then beam it to its engine (supposevly it has a laser beam onboard) that would be more safe than to must have a clear optical vision from the satterlite to the spaceship... just saying
@xalastras21 my guess is that a satellite in space collects much more energy than when you're still in atmosphere. the gases in our atmosphere contribute to our protection so we don't fry up from the sun's solar rays.
"Four to six times the temperature of the sun" MY ASS!!!, If a grain of sand was heated up to ONE TIMES the temperature of the sun, the atmosphere would burn. Six times the temperature of the sun, and boom, your breathing somthing hotter than plasma.
It might be possible to maintain a large fraction of a G of accelaration for an hour or more, which would impart speeds allowing a trip to Mars in a couple of weeks or even less.
Of course, a braking system in Mars orbit would also need to be built.
Many people assume that very precise tracking by the beam is necessary - it isn't. Apparently the craft is (or can be) inherently self-centering in the beam, like a pingpong ball on a jet of air.
Orbital systems could be built (geo-stat or Lagrange) with large solar collectors which could be used to power beams for interplantery craft (to Mars, say).

@kiwiproject not enough power from solar panels that small - not by a long shot. and the only point of the laser is to project power from below, there are more efficient ways of heating the rim of the craft if it is the power source.
@kiwiproject@riskingeuphoria On top of the solar power being underpowered, they're using that powerful of a laser for a very small model. It would probably take even more of a powerful laser.
@kiwiproject Here's an idea that I had today at work: What if they could mount multiples of these on plane wings, with a laser or set of lasers timed to fire at them at different times to give smooth propulsion with high fuel efficiency?
I saw something on the History Channel about Nazi-UFO connections, and it showed that liquid Mercury, in a spherical, closed system causes levitation in the system, so what about a mercury-powered spherical or pancake-shaped spaceship?
The Nazis were predicted to have done experiments with mercury-filled UFOs, because most, if not all submarines and cargo ships shot down by the Allies had large amounts of cargo in the form of mercury.
I guess I don't understand this. If it requires the air around it for it's acceleration, then once it's in space, how does it continue to accelerate? If it's a design that requires 100% of it's acceleration to be done in the liftoff, then why is it even being considered? Now if there was something like this beamed energy acceleration that could continue to accelerate as it went through space like that, you could just keep going till it reaches near-C and send it to a star.
@TheRoomy Why have a craft with only one engine? Sounds like a dumb idea. No one designs space craft like that. There are always multiple systems. You need to stop making up straw men that don't work and instead look for solutions.
@TheRoomy I was wondering the same thing, but if you listen closely they drop this little conceptual handwaving doozy: "To fuel the rest of its journey, the lightcraft would use super-heated gas, accelerated by powerful electrical and magnetic fields." Which seems to be saying, "someone in the ion-thruster department figures that out, we just get the thing to orbit." Though if you're gathering such amounts of solar energy, why not use it to refine a fuel like hydrogen cells so it has other uses?
@TheRoomy it can accelerate in space too, just minimally. very minimally. google radiation pressure. a bigger problem would be slowing it down if u want a manned mission, or communications, if u just want a probe.
Check out my homepage for further experiments using laser. There are several easy to do examples to split the beam, modulate on of the two and then recombine them to produce low frequency beats. These beats should be able to induce currents into the body to transmit sound or steer muscles if used with high power lasers. You dont even need a laser, this can be done with ordinary light and heat radiation as well. The double slit experiment mostly is done with an ordinary light source.
The downfall of this is that the propulsion system must maintain line of sight. Suppose a bird or cloud blocks the beam as the craft is ascending. Whats to stop it from crashing to the ground?
All is fine and dandy until the laser source breaks or loses power and it takes a team of scientists 3 days to fix it. Meanwhile, oops...you're drifting into outer space in the wrong direction. No biggie. :-P
Very intriguing...I think the stability and safety of such a craft would have to be ironed out, obviously, but if feasible, it would make transportation of matter into space, even civilian space flight, considerably cheaper. Granted, it still doesn't solve the complications involved in interstellar travel- covering distances that light takes thousands of years to cross in one lifetime...but if it means you and I can walk on the moon in this lifetime, I'll back it!
@AgrivatedKillah fuck you , i dont give a fuck about conspiracy theories, but i have seen the declassified documents. fuckin dumbass. who said anything about greatest technology? america has it too. and besides all that , the top government scientists of flight enigeneering back in the day were p.o.w.s from the war that were given sanction here aslong as they worked for america.
lol.. and let me guess your from America right? Im from england, and yes we fought vs the nazi's but even i know how to admit which countries had the biggest technological advancements and it was the Nazi's - FACT.
Then all you need to do is check your history books and find out the scientists which worked on the Atom bomb and many other 'American Invented' advances after WWII. You will see that many of the major leading scientists were infact german...
Je connais un clip incroyable, regardez-le vous croirez pas vos yeux tapez malik illoul sur youtube. Le musicien utilise un instrument inédit un synthé laser
34,000 Kelvin? I'm having a hard time believing that. At those temperatures I expect to hear explosive shock waves.... just like lightning when it produces thunder.
What if you were able to get some powerful generator to be on the craft itself? Since the laser has no recoil (I think) you could wire the generator up to the laser, point the laser at the "saucer" shaped piece that is strongly mounted onto the craft, and get forward motion. Then, for acceleration, just lower or heighten the intensity of the laser. For reverse, just give the "saucer" thing symmetry, with another laser pointed at it. Then, no "cooking" people with giant microwaves. :)
@ctcentralinfo, Yes, it would. But it would increase the range at which it would travel by a pecentage as well as the overall safety. In the example I gave, the entire system is enclosed so no "accidents" would happen off of the ship in case something decided to float in front of the microwave beam. This also means the scenario of a microwave misfire is eliminated completely. During lift off, the ship may encounter turblence and move off coarse, allowing the microwaves to reach the ground.
When russians developed a parashoote for a tank, government requested main constructors son to be in the landing tank. Constructor was watching the test with a gun in his pocket. Now, ok who wants to test a flying saucer with a humongous laser pointed at it? "Fried definitely fried"
Amazing! We as a human race are on the fast track to achieving fail proof interstellar travel. One thing is for sure, NASA alone cannot handle it all, it has to be a collective effort by all nations. We really should stop segregating ourselves over relegion resources land and race and start embracing the philosophy that we're all together in our endeavours. United Citizenry of Earth.
i don't get it why can't scientist just make a primitive teleporter, send a ordinary spaceship into space and finally just put the teleporter on the moon and just simply come back to earth, wouldn't it be simpler?
The problem with some scientists is that they never consider the human element when coming up with their pie-in-the-sky ideas. Sure, a space-based beamed energy transportation system sounds just gee-whiz neato, but can you imagine what other countries would say about the United States encircling the globe with LASER platforms? More to the point, could you imagine what the US would do if China or Iran tried to do the same? Nice idea, and probably very green, but it ain't gonna happen, EVER
@pudgimelon They have plenty of time to work on the diplomacy. They didn't get this thing 40 feet up without destroying one of them, I'd say some more R&D is needed.
@starcinders Oh, yes, because microwaves are TOTALLY SAFE. :P
A space-based microwave powerful enough to lift a ship would certainly be powerful enough to cook a few people too (or knock missiles out of the air). Remember, this guy used to work for the SDI, and this just looks like another excuse to put military weapons, pointing DOWN, into space. Call it a "missile defense shield" or a "transport system" it's the same thing. And EVERY nation on the planet won't tolerate it. Period.
ALMOST! I have a better way. Lasers capable of fusion which trigger plasma to actually create fusion, ejecting plasma out of the back and resulting in sun-driven propulsion. Beautiful concept but he's missing the secret ingredient!
@brian12934 totally true... really this is what we need. money spend in experiments to free or more efficient energie for everything we use on earth... lets hope we get the ingredients as you say soon before its to late and we used our resources..

These beats should be able to induce currents into the body to transmit sound or steer muscles if used with high power lasers. You dont even need a laser, this can be done with ordinary light and heat radiation as well. The double slit experiment mostly is done with an ordinary light source.

The downfall of this is that the propulsion system must maintain line of sight. Suppose a bird or cloud blocks the beam as the craft is ascending. Whats to stop it from crashing to the ground?

however, you'll need "solid" ground to make this system work. a beamer in space would just shoot itself away from the target.

Very intriguing...I think the stability and safety of such a craft would have to be ironed out, obviously, but if feasible, it would make transportation of matter into space, even civilian space flight, considerably cheaper. Granted, it still doesn't solve the complications involved in interstellar travel- covering distances that light takes thousands of years to cross in one lifetime...but if it means you and I can walk on the moon in this lifetime, I'll back it!

lol.. and let me guess your from America right? Im from england, and yes we fought vs the nazi's but even i know how to admit which countries had the biggest technological advancements and it was the Nazi's - FACT.
Then all you need to do is check your history books and find out the scientists which worked on the Atom bomb and many other 'American Invented' advances after WWII. You will see that many of the major leading scientists were infact german...

Britain pretty much had the best technology, nazis were just superior in other areas when it came to aviation.

What if you were able to get some powerful generator to be on the craft itself? Since the laser has no recoil (I think) you could wire the generator up to the laser, point the laser at the "saucer" shaped piece that is strongly mounted onto the craft, and get forward motion. Then, for acceleration, just lower or heighten the intensity of the laser. For reverse, just give the "saucer" thing symmetry, with another laser pointed at it. Then, no "cooking" people with giant microwaves. :)

@16awala - adding a generator will mean more weight less room for cargo which means less efficiency.
ctcentralinfo 8 months ago
@ctcentralinfo, Yes, it would. But it would increase the range at which it would travel by a pecentage as well as the overall safety. In the example I gave, the entire system is enclosed so no "accidents" would happen off of the ship in case something decided to float in front of the microwave beam. This also means the scenario of a microwave misfire is eliminated completely. During lift off, the ship may encounter turblence and move off coarse, allowing the microwaves to reach the ground.

When russians developed a parashoote for a tank, government requested main constructors son to be in the landing tank. Constructor was watching the test with a gun in his pocket. Now, ok who wants to test a flying saucer with a humongous laser pointed at it? "Fried definitely fried"

Amazing! We as a human race are on the fast track to achieving fail proof interstellar travel. One thing is for sure, NASA alone cannot handle it all, it has to be a collective effort by all nations. We really should stop segregating ourselves over relegion resources land and race and start embracing the philosophy that we're all together in our endeavours. United Citizenry of Earth.

The problem with some scientists is that they never consider the human element when coming up with their pie-in-the-sky ideas. Sure, a space-based beamed energy transportation system sounds just gee-whiz neato, but can you imagine what other countries would say about the United States encircling the globe with LASER platforms? More to the point, could you imagine what the US would do if China or Iran tried to do the same? Nice idea, and probably very green, but it ain't gonna happen, EVER

@starcinders Oh, yes, because microwaves are TOTALLY SAFE. :P
A space-based microwave powerful enough to lift a ship would certainly be powerful enough to cook a few people too (or knock missiles out of the air). Remember, this guy used to work for the SDI, and this just looks like another excuse to put military weapons, pointing DOWN, into space. Call it a "missile defense shield" or a "transport system" it's the same thing. And EVERY nation on the planet won't tolerate it. Period.
