Revision as of 11:02, 3 June 2015

Things like thermal buckling, atmospheric effects, etc. will be discussed here.

NOTE: As efforts to catch up from page 1 of the presently 147 page thread progress, items may shift from Open to Closed and thus at this time may be incomplete or incorrectly categorized.

Open

Thermal Effects - Drive - Heating of the structure or components of the drive.

Thermal Effects - Atmospheric - Heating of the surroundings of the drive, causing air currents which generate forces on the drive.

Thermal Effects - Hot air balloon - Heating of the air inside the drive causes lift. The lift varies with orientation, depending upon where venting holes are located on the drive.

Thermal Effects - Expansion - Heating of the air inside the drive causes it to expand and push out of holes in the drive, until the drive reaches equilibrium temperature.

Thermal Effects - Jet - Heating of the air inside the pushes it out. Fresh air is drawn in to replace it, resulting in a continuous jet, like a microwave driven pulse jet.

Vibration of the device (Dean Drive Effects) when power is applied causing a ratchet-type rotation effect, due to differences in the static friction.

Heating, magnetic or electrical effects causing the device to alter shape and weight distribution.

Induction of magnetic or electric fields in the apparatus and surroundings, causing repulsion/attraction with surroundings.

Induced magnetic fields pushing against the Earth's magnetic field.

Closed

Photon Rocket Interpretation - The theory that in some way the EM Drive is simply a strange Photon Rocket.
