This page will outline some candidate theories of operation (or non-operation).

Debunking Theories

  • These theories should be explained, then debunked with the simplest explantion, with a link to a dedicated page to show the work or work in progress that backs up that explanantion.

Expirimental error

  • It's all a hoax/conspiracy
  • Simple measuring error
  • Thermal effects
  • Mechanical vibration
  • Magnetic effects with enviroment

Crackpot Theories

  • Cannae Drive creator's Theory
  • Em Drive creator's theory
  • Quantum foam MHD
  • Conservation of momentum breaking theories
    • this deserves an entire subsection
  • Warp effects


8/5/14 - Greg Egan modeled the resonant modes of a conical cavity.

2/2/15 - @areo modeled evanescent waves using MEEP. Conclusion was that, due to rapid dropoff at the frustum surface, these were of insufficient magnitude to explain the thrust.
