The theoretical engine works by creating an intense magnetic field that, according to ideas first developed by the late scientist Burkhard Heim in the 1950s, would produce a gravitational field and result in thrust for a spacecraft.

Any scientific info behind this?? Otherwise, its pretty much pseudoscience, and I'm yawning.

Hum,
someone there must be running out of funding.


For the pseudoscience, I guess that the mass energy of the photon go directly into warping the geometry of space-time.
(and more Zero point energy particles are usually created inside the warp (bubble) than outside...but if the engine can reverse the bubble...then the engine will not acquire its mass...and disappear...?)

How exactly the entire bubble can move through another dimension is beyond me.

but it sounds like a great way to discover a higgs particle....


Or not...

Any scientific info behind this??

That's what I'm asking :)

Nevermind - there's a thread on this in the astronomy section :p

I don't know if this has already been done - but see the extensive thread on physorg - http://forum.physorg.com/index.php?act=ST&f=16&t=4385&st=150#entry60259

Thanks. I see there's also some discussion on physicsforums (http://physicsforums.com/showthread.php?p=883762#post883762)
