Did you read Tajmar's paper? Quote: This clearly indicates that the “thrust” is not coming from the EMDrive but from some electromagnetic...
Looks like I was right....
Ah, I think that was what I was seeing; the equation stays in the tex command format until the page is refreshed. But I never see it displayed as an...
I have mixed feelings about the deadline; as much as I enjoy this thread, and all the interesting tangents it has spawned, it can overstay its...
can someone please troubleshoot this and see why the latex commands are not working? I have tested it with several tex editors and it displays fine...
I suspect we have all been over-thinking this thing. Is this just some fancy variation of Newton’s cradle? There must be some impulse sent along the...
This can’t be the answer because angular momentum is conserved separately from linear momentum. Anyway, it is a nice gif. The axial vector of angular...
Wait. Is this supposed to be the answer to the OP? Energy density? That's it? Dynamotors are collapsing planets? Can you please elaborate a bit,...
What I like about this sort of thread is the collateral benefits that come from digging around, looking for an answer. One of the interesting things...
Thank you for extending me that courtesy. I’m still working on a solution employing a Lorentz transform, but I am not clear on what needs to be...
If “whatever this thing is supposed to do” violates conservation of momentum, that is a capital offense, more grievous than any supposed violation of...
That's a nice resource, thanks for the link. I will need some time to look it over and see if it relates to the approach I was working on. In the...
Just some more thoughts, based on the clues so far: If the Lorentz transform is not applied to length, I don’t see it being applied to time, it must...
Alright then. The only possible connection I can think of with SR is the shaft becomes magnetized and is acting similar to a unipolar generator. Then...
As a marine engineer, this puzzle interests me. I do work with machinery and drive shafts and therefore not entirely unfamiliar with the basic...
So you are going to use the pseudovector associated with angular momentum, to conserve linear momentum? [IMG] I thought angular and linear...
OK OK, right. As the bob swings one way it exerts a force on the fulcrum and the fulcrum exerts a force on the frame moving the frame back the...
I am not sure I agree. Here is my reasoning: If the system is in SHM, (like a pendulum with a small amplitude) the center of mass stays put at the...
Hmmm, wait a second, I think everyone, including myself has been working with the assumption the mass shifts from the charged battery to the...
I agree there is no way of differentiating between these alternatives. But my point was, if we somehow knew we were in a simulation, we would then...
