No Propellant? Anybody ever heard of this? http://www.e4engineering.com/Articles/295931/Microwave%20engine%20gets%20a%20boost.htm http://www.e4engineering.com/Articles/266633/Defying%20gravity.htm Is their science on the level? They're claiming a propulsion system that works purely on EM emission and doesn't require any propellant. Is this within the laws of physics? Ordinarily, I'd have dismissed the claims, but it's featured in The Engineer, which I've always found to be a mainstream journal.

Think of electric motors and maglev trains. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired Back to top Rob Arndt Guest Posted: Wed Sep 06, 2006 6:11 am    Post subject: Re: EM-propulsion?

Do you really want me to answer this and open up the Third Reich's Pandora's Box of secrets??? I'm sure the usual crowd of sceptics will line up en masse to respond to me for just responding to this question!
