Revision as of 13:55, 30 May 2015

As proposed by Aero on the NSF forums, the possibility that the thrust is occurring as a result of the generation/leakage of evanescent waves.

Status

No longer considered a viable source of thrust.

Evidence

Initial calculations by Aero were showing an efficiency rating 2-3 times that of a perfect photon drive, which is beneath the observed ratings of Q-thruster test articles.[1]

Utilizing MEEP, the conclusion was that due to rapid dropoff at the frustum surface, evanescent waves were of insufficient magnitude to explain the observed thrust.[2]. See details about @aero's MEEP control file.

Relevant Papers

This list was assembled by Aero[3]
