Yes…here is another one. Different though. This one is for flying. hehe
It uses microwaves, apparently, as propulsion. It uses a cavity that directs microwaves to bounce around without loosing energy (or less of it) and this increases energy pressure which apparently can push the cavity in one direction. Now, lets see, its being pushed by microwaves.
Microwaves are photons. They have no mass. But! they have momentum. Thus, they actually CAN push things with force. They have very very very^10 small momentum though, so it is his cavity shape that hopefully can magnify the force. I don’t even think to be able to understand this, although the basic idea is easy. Oh, and some chinese company has already tried to buy this. lol
Now, apparently, he also wants to use this for cars. I dont know how well thats going to go, but, check it out here
I gotta say though, the sheer number of promising methods for transporation is just mind bloggling. I can’t believe there are so many of these that arent even getting the attention and funding they deserve.
