This is a location for assorted information concerning EM Drives. Likely applies to all current experimental efforts.
Velocity
At constant input power, the thrust, and therefore the acceleration, must decrease with time, to ensure that the spacecraft's (change in) velocity never exceeds 2*Power/Thrust.[1] Effectively, White proposes that the maximum velocity possibly achievable for these EM Drives is 2*PowerInput/ThrustForce. This energy constraint is known even from Sutton's textbook on Elements of Rocket Propulsion (equation 19-1 Rocket propulsion elements 7th edition- Sutton).
The higher the ThrustForce/InputPower, the lower the maximum velocity of an EM Drive: MAXIMUM VELOCITY OF EM DRIVE = 2 /(thrustForce/PowerInput)
- (Brady TE mode) ThrustForce/power: 0.00002131 Newton/Watt --> MaximumVelocity = 2/0.00002131 m/s = 93853 m/s = 93.85 km/s
- (Prof. Juan Yang et.al. China) ThrustForce/power: 0.000290 Newton/Watt --> MaximumVelocity = 2/0.000290 m/s = 6897 m/s = 6.90 km/s
- (Cannae Superconducting) ThrustForce/power: 0.0009524 Newton/Watt --> MaximumVelocity = 2/0.0009524 m/s = 2100 m/s = 2.10 km/s
The maximum velocity of the EM Drive is inversely proportional to Q: [2] Therefor the higher the Q, the lower the maximum velocity.
- MAXIMUM VELOCITY OF EM DRIVE = 2 /(thrustForce/PowerInput)
- MAXIMUM VELOCITY OF EM DRIVE ~ (2 /(Q*otherParameters))
