This page will outline some candidate theories of operation (or non-operation).
Debunking Theories
- These theories should be explained, then debunked with the simplest explanation, with a link to a dedicated page to show the work or work in progress that backs up that explanation.
Experimental error
- It's all a hoax/conspiracy
- Simple measuring error
- Thermal effects
- Mechanical vibration
- Magnetic effects with environment
These are discussed in more detail at Possible Error Sources.
Proponent Theories
- Guido Fetta's, Cannae Drive creator's Theory
- Roger Shawyer's, EM Drive creator's theory
- Quantum foam MHD
- Harold White's Quantum vacuum plasma thruster (QVP thruster)
- Harold White's Warp effects
- Evanescent waves[1]
- Transfer of linear momentum from the Quantum Vacuum to magnetoelectric and chiral molecules [2]
- Notsosureofit's Equivalence Principle hypothesis [3]
- Mike McCulloch's MiHsC Theory
- Curving Rf beams[4] - The magnitude of the bending needed, was not shown by the thermal camera images taken at Eagleworks.
References
- ↑ 2/2/15 post by @aero 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.
