[Vo]:Propellantless EM drive results

[JonesBeene]

The Shawyer EM drive is not dead but now has serious competition… using lasers. 
This is almost a breakthrough but has not attracted much attention so far..

Despite the negativism from skeptics (all over the Web),  the EM drive concept 
is now approaching the status of a solid technology despite NASA dropping it. 

What’s with NASA dropping something like this??? Almost unforgiveable.

Fortunately DARPA/ARPA did not give up and the latest results seem to be  
fabulous (when and if they are  duplicated).

McCulloch has a theory for inertia that predicts galaxies' rotation sans dark 
matter, distant binaries and other anomalies presumably without adjustment, and 
it has other several interesting implications. It explains the Emdrive and 
predicts several kinds of inertia-based drives using EM waves of different 
efficiencies…. To call it controversial is an understatement.

In a way it is refreshing to get rid of the baggage of dark matter. It has 
always smelled a bit like a klutz concept… unless of course it is the “aether”

[Vo]:A Question About Paul Brown

[Chris Zell]

Does anyone have any info on this topic?   It seems to me that either Paul 
Brown was a deliberate, calculated fraud or he discovered something of immense 
value.

I don't think any middle ground is possible.  He claimed to be able to tap 
radioactive decay in some way that physics does not recognize.
As I recall, the only documentation he had was a very old Scientific American 
article about triggering radio signal amplification using an antenna coated 
with radium

Was there any theory or results to support him?   Triggering radioactive decay 
to create a power source is held to be impossible ( by ordinary means).

The Papp engine used radium or thorium to increase the sensitivity of the
electrode to electron extraction from the plasma. The alpha decay of Radium
biased the pickup electrode with a positive charge that would attract
electrons. This idea came from the well known technique used to dope
lightning rods with radium back in the 1800s to increase the ability of
these rods to attract lightning.  In the Papp engine, the application of an
electric arc increased the production of alpha decay right before the
feedback current was produced by the plasma.
