How The 'Impossible Drive' Could Break Newton's Third Law
A device called the EM Drive appears to have the ability to break the Third Law of Physics. But does it even work? What Will Rockets Look Like In The Future?
==========
You can’t just go making propellantless rockets, we have laws in this universe! Hello impossible dreamers, Trace here for DNews. Occasionally in science news, the same story will rear it’s head, cause a big fight, and then sink back down below the waves again. One such story is about the EmDrive [em-drive], a type of propellantless thruster technology that skeptics call the "impossible drive." There are a number of different kinds of these experiments collectively called: resonant cavity thrusters, but this one has gotten a ton of press as people try and figure out if we can someday fly through space without actually expelling anything. The EmDrive device itself is so simple it almost seems like a prank. It’s basically a closed cone attached to a magnetron (the same thing in ...
