If they had the funding they could fast track it. As is they think it'll be 20 to 30 odd years before we have personal antigrav cars assuming the state doesn't interfere( which you can beg your life on it will). so maybe never unless we dismantle the current government and intelligence agencies and replace it with something like hoppean libertarianism( the only libertarianism that is actually tenable,I'll leave a link if you want a quick primer on its ideas, here)

That's odd cause 60 years ago we were only 10 years away from flying cars for everybody.

I like the idea that we've had the ability to mass produce "flying cars" since we reverse engineered the wreckage of the Roswell incident, but the government decided making this technology publicly available would have too many undesirable consequences.
For example, instead of using ICBMs to send nukes across the planet, anyone could do it in mere seconds and in stealth mode! It's sad to think this way but maybe somethings are just not meant for human beings.

I would so love to live in the middle of nowhere, like deep in the woods of BC or the steppe of Mongolia in a wooden house constructed by skilled craftsmen who flew( floated?) Out there and then fucked off. Total peace. And when I need necessities I hop in tesla hover edition and am off to the nicest grocery store in Europe in an hour rather than 18 and then back home in another hour dining on a delicious pizza in a house surrounded by terrain that couldn't even grow a tomatoe. Total independence, I fantasize about that often.

That's funny. I remember hearing exactly the same thing with the faster than light neutrinos. People made dozens of threads about how physicists and "Einstein" were gonna be BTFO. Remind me, how did that go? Then there was the EMdrive scam, which slowly unravelled until it died. Now we have EMdrive2: Electric Boogaloo, which you think is definitely gonna work this time.

It takes an outsider like Mike because a real physicist would spot all the ridiculous errors and contradictions in his ideas. They would not publish something so obviously bullshit. Also note that the substantial part of what Mike proposed (the galaxy stuff) was published in the 80's, it's not a new idea. He just copied and pasted it, and added some sophistry.

When has that ever been true in physics? Relativity and quantum mechanics both lead by the mainstream. They were also foreseeable. Newton was the mainstream.

True. The only gravity assists we should be dling are off of Jupiter in order to reach outer solar system targets faster. Getting to Jupiter should be done by direct trajectory, not fucking around in the inner planets.
Build bigger rockets with higher energy kick stages that throw heavier payloads faster, for less money.

You need 15 launches to fully fuel one starship already in LEO, and that only gives you about 7km/s of ∆v. It's 3 or 4 to mars, plus whatever it costs to capture in a reasonable orbit. I'd say you'd need 3 or 4 of those trips so 45-60 launches

The MSR cost estimate is $10 billion and climbing. SpaceX is driving for a marginal cost of a Starship launch sub $1 million. That difference buys a lot of launches.

Valence electrons in dissimilar metals have different energy levels. Bond two dissimilar metals together & apply a thermal gradient, and the electrons being kicked to higher energy levels in one metal can jump to the other metal, resulting in voltage.
You can imagine it like a ball bouncing on the floor landing on a nearby table. Once the electron is "stuck" in this high energy state it exerts a pressure (voltage) on the surrounding electrons, causing them to flow around the circuit, which generates electricity.

"In direct contrast to chemical rocketry, an EPF propulsion system does not require any fuel or oxidizer or mechanical systems or propellant mass to be consumed or expelled in any way. EPF creates physical momentum from stored electrical energy in a hermetically sealed reactor, and over time, that created physical momentum is realized as physical force. The spacecraft is accelerated by the application of this physical force. As no mass fraction of the spacecraft is expended to create thrust, the lifespan of the EPF thruster, and thereby the spacecraft housing them, are near limitless. Realistic mass fractions of the spacecraft devoted to propulsion could be as little as 2% of the total mass of the spacecraft. This projected low mass fraction is in direct contrast to the 98% mass fractions currently accepted for chemical/electric spacecraft propulsion systems. Low propulsion mass fraction, very high efficiency, and never having to turn off the propulsion will bring about a revolution in the exploration of space. Travel times to the planets will be measured in days as opposed to months/years. Greater mass fractions of the spacecraft will be used for the payloads."

Hello

Pluto orbits with an average orbital velocity of 4.743km/s but it's orbit is highly elliptical, so as it moves from perihelion to aphelion we see orbital velocity range between 6.1kms and 3.6kms

Earth's orbital velocity average is 29.78, orbit is very not eccentric (0.167) and so velocity ranges between 29.29 and 30.29.

So, with pluto having a variation in orbit velocity over twice that of earth as it completes it's orbit, I find myself wondering: if you were somehow able to live 270+ years to experience both periapsis and apoapsis, would you feel any different? It's a huge relative change, 30% of the initial orbital velocity and as I said, over 200% of what we experience on earth

Or am I retard

I think the easily way to think about it is just because your accelerating in your orbit relatively, your actual energy state hasn't changed thus you feel no acceleration.

Even gravity assists where you accelerate into higher energy orbits by passing a body is a net zero in energy. The body acts on you but in direct proportion you're acting on the body you are passing by.

If you know where the energy and momentum comes from and it doesn't produce them for free, then it's not a free energy device. If it produces constant velocity for constant energy input, it is a free energy device, which contradicts Noether's Theorem. If it is a constant displacement device, it requires the existence of preferred references frames which would massively contradict General Relativity. If it steals momentum from something else, now we're getting somewhere.

You mean the THEORY which has giant fucking holes and doesn't explain very important aspects of the observable universe? The THEORY that has had multiple decades, shitloads of speculative research and umpteen gorillion dollars devoted to finding an imaginary particle with constantly changing properties to try and fit in to make the THEORY work? 0 results for all of this btw.

That's some dogshit science son.

If your "universal model" fails to address critical functions of the universe and you need to invent undetectable magic particles (that change their properties every time an experiment fails to detect them) to explain it, there is probably something really badly wrong with your model. This shit is not science, this is wanking over one dudes theory rather than trying to come up with a theory that actually explains the observable functions of matter.

>>16337499
Nobody likes coming up with free parameters to explain the gaps in a model, but the reason why people do it is because nobody has better ideas. Yeah, people have alternate explanations for things that General Relativity gets wrong like Modified Newtonian Dynamics, and yeah it elegantly explains the things Relativity gets wrong. But the problem is, it doesn't explain a whole bunch of the shit relativity gets /right/: it has worse predictive power than Relativity, which means it is at best and rather optimistically, incomplete, and at worst, it's just plain wrong. Until that is sufficiently and thoroughly addressed, Relativity remains the objectively superior model, and the alternatives will remain actually, literally useless.

Point in case that scientists don't care about science. Here is a theory that neatly ties everything up but all these fuckheads are too busy huffing their own farts and circlejerking over dogma to spend comparative pennies to give it a go.

This is my rudimentary understanding of it by piecing things together but it seems that these asymmetric capacitor thrusters seem to take it out of the quantum vacuum

https://physicsfromtheedge.blogspot.com/2021/11/a-thrust-from-nothing.html
>There will be then a quantum void between the plates that will pull the electrons out of the cathode faster than expected and this will add momentum to the system which will thrust towards the anode. A thrust from 'nothing'.

So it's not "nothing" but the quantum field which we know isn't empty but more dense than expected
https://www.quantamagazine.org/waning-dark-energy-may-evade-swampland-of-impossible-universes-20240819/.
>The quantum fields that permeate space fluctuate in strength, never staying exactly at zero; particles continually spring into existence and disappear just as quickly. These quantum fluctuations should contribute to the energy of ambient space. But when physicists do the math, they find that the effect could be as much as 10^120 times bigger than the observed abundance of dark energy.

Hence why these could be considered quantum void thrusters

So the physicists can bitch and moan all they want but it seems like the energy available from the quantum void is effectively infinite from our perspective and they've found a method and device to tap into and extract energy from this quantum well so to speak.

But the force stops as soon as the capacitor plates are space enough mm apart to stop producing it, so that explanation doesn't make sense

So does it conserve energy or not? I'm not talking about conserving momentum, just the overall energy.

>>16338153
I think its drawing energy from the quantum vacuum (via the Casimir effect), which is insanely energy dense beyond the expected calculations of theoretical physicists see:

https://www.vlatkovedral.com/the-worst-prediction-in-the-whole-of-physics/
>However, if we calculate the quantum vacuum energy of the universe it turns out to be 120 orders of magnitude bigger. Hence: the worst prediction in the whole of physics.

Is it so hard to conceive of the possibility that we might have found a way to tap into and exploit the near-infinite energy out of the quantum vacuum and use it for momentum/power?

No, several sci-fi writers have done so (but I don't really read, so the only example I can think of is vanometric power from Rimworld). But I need peer reviewed papers and repeatable experimental evidence.

No, the vehicle a skyhook would swing up into orbit would much more closely align to the design requirements of an upper stage than a booster. They'd need to handle coasting in space, manage radiating waste heat, deal with high atmospheric heating, carry a bunch of propellant for maneuvering once in orbit, etc. Meanwhile a reusable rocket stage can optimize for spaceflight instead of needing to take off from the ground, and a reusable booster can be developed and built for much lower cost (and in my opinion lower operating costs as well).

This is so fucking stupid man. Some napkin math assuming ideal everything shows that it's like 5x more expensive per watt than building another solar array. Factor in realistic reflectivity, percentage of mass actually devoted to the mirror and not the controls and structure, atmospheric losses, utilization, bleh. Terrible. This shouldn't have made it past the first discussion about it. If you're selling an actual commodity like electricity then you need to be cheaper or it doesn't work. I'm pretty sure I did the math and it actually works the opposite way, you can make money by beaming Earth power to space despite losses because of the cost per watt on Earth vs space.

handmer talks about that constantly
not really sure what kind of napkin math these guys were using but I kind of doubt its just for more baseload solar, has to be more expensive (i.e. replacing batteries as you can do solar at night, so it would cost more than just basic baseload solar amortized over the day + batteries)
hard to say if it works out in that case either though

I'd bet they're expecting to replace peaker plants or something, reflecting during the evening at the peak of the duck curve where electricity is most expensive.
This has all the marks of being a great pitch for a guy that knows business but not physics. Increase utilization of established infrastructure, serve the market at peak prices.
Unfortunately it will never be cheap enough to be competitive.

There's something extremely evil about this that I can't put my finger on, the people who support this idea should be entombed underground to protect the rest of us.
I get vague notions about normies hating the light pollution caused by this so much that, in typical normie fashion, they blame all of spaceflight, and as a result some commies in government sieze the opportunity to ban industrialization of space or something horrifying like that

Space activity should remain as invisible to the normie as possible until such time that space activity is self sustaining & normies cannot stop it anymore.

There's a difference between a soft indirect airglow from thousands of street lights & buildings vs a harsh light in the sky hundreds of times brighter than the full Moon glaring down on people's housesat night.
The glare is obvious but the additional heat may be what puts it over the edge for people, especially in already warm climates. I already want to murder my neighbor because of his bright ass outdoor light.

All of these schemes are fundamentally non-conserving because their theory of operation continuously imparts momentum-energy at a constant rate. Kinetic energy increases with the square of velocity, and any momentum extraction regime that doesn't involve equal costs elsewhere in the system means energy is created from nothing.

>NASA announced Aug. 22 that it selected Arrow Science and Technology, Impulse Space and Momentus Space for its Venture-Class Acquisition of Dedicated and Rideshare (VADR) contract. That selection allows them to compete for task orders for launching specific missions, typically small satellites willing to accept higher levels of risk in exchange for lower launch costs.

>A NASA fact sheet about VADR, though, continues to emphasize the use of small launch vehicles. That fact sheet, linked to in the NASA press release about the addition of the three companies to the contract, listed five examples of venture-class launch vehicles available for such missions. Three of the five — Astra Space’s Rocket 3, Relativity Space’s Terran 1 and Virgin Orbit’s LauncherOne — are no longer in service, and Virgin Orbit itself went bankrupt in 2023.

An article that says neither of them really care about space wouldn't be very interesting.

>we won't be free floating

Pfffft. So they are just dicking around the capsule exit port on some monkey bars? Hardly an EVA, mega gay. My excitement for this mission has gone to 0. Oh well at least spacex makes some fiat buxx.

they are testing all the most difficult and important parts with this but making it safe by staying behind the capsule with respect to micrometeroids
what difference would free floating make?
