Electromagnetic Inertial Propulsion System

Initial report on project aimed to develop new way of space travel. This engine is based on electromagnetism. It utilizes a delay between two moments: when force field is created and when it acts on object. Currently there is a attempt to build levitator using proper oscillator/impulsator, coil and permanent magnet.

This is not a science fiction idea. There are other teams trying to achieve the same by different methods. Here is short scientific abstract from adsabs.harvard.edu

Experiments performed by independent research teams, suggesting that ``propellantless'' propulsion without external assistance is being achieved by means of electromagnetic inertia manipulation, are discussed here and compared within the framework of competing theoretical formulations. The authors' theory relies upon the fact that the electromagnetic (EM) field can exhibit a whole non-vanishing momentum in the ``matter'' frame, even for stationary regimes, provided Minkowski's energy-momentum tensor holds for EM fields in matter. In a closed system this EM momentum can be converted into mechanical momentum, so that electromagnetic inertia intervenes to modify the inertial properties of the generating device. Another theory, set forth by Corum and based on Slepian's works, states that the inertia manipulation effect stems from the Heaviside force density in vacuum, which is shown to lead to a zero instantaneous volume integrated force on a closed system. Although the system momentum is not conserved in the reported experiments, the propulsion effect is shown to be consistent with an alternative formulation of Minkowski's EM force density that correctly predicts former peer-reviewed experimental results. A fourth theory by J. Woodward, based on ``Machian'' mass/inertia fluctuations due to transient mass modifications, purportedly predicts the observed results but flaws are found in the predictions which, when corrected, considerably disagree with the experimental data. Finally, recent developments in vacuum physics allow building a conceptual framework with the potential of resolving the apparent violation of momentum conservation, closely connected to Minkowski's energy momentum tensor and its lack of symmetry.

I think that it makes no sense to worry about launching interplanetary/interstellar spaceships from earth. They will be big and heavy, especially for human travel.

So it´s much more practical to build them in earth or moon orbit and to use them only as mother ships for travel between orbits.

The actual landings/missions can be done with smaller ships which are launched from the mother ship.

orbital dockship and orbital passenger terminal is good solution. however the issue of powerful electric propulsion is still to support. You can't build combustion propulsion which will get you to Mars with constant acceleration 1G. And only in this situation you don't have to worry about lack of gravity (for instance losing Ca from bones). Time travel with 1G = 3 days to Mars, without it = 7-11 months

@Thorsupremecommander

That`s correct and continous 1G acceleration would also be optimal for human space travel and even better if the engine would be capable of producing a couple more G`s for shorter periods of time.

My thought was not about limiting engine power, in fact extra power might be crucial for emergencies or maneuvering, what I was trying to say was that building a big ship, that can land and withstand reentry would be much more expensive, complicated and dangerous.

@KeskinTRS

I agree utterly. building large cargo ships just to launch into far trip is pointless (economically uneffective) it is much better to transport all cargo into orbit first and from there launch to interplanetary trip. However, cruising with speed greater than 1g is also impractitional and uneconomical. For example Mars-Earth - 250 mln km - 1g trip - 89 hrs, 2 g trip - 63 hrs. higher gs are not possible for humans in conventional (not hyper drive) enignes

[filmfan4]

yes i have and it works though just like Marconi developing wireless technology i'm still having to make many little changes in order to get a model that can work comercially!

[Thorsupremecommander]

that's good news. when will you upload video showing your works?

[maikydb]

when will we hear more about this. I mean if they can launch a roller coaster from 0 to 90 kph in just 30 meters of track why cant we build a track long enough to gradually build up the speed (never extending the 4G's ) and launch something from Earth in to outer space? I have been thinking about this theory my self to for years.
