Reactionless drives should be possible.
And yes, the math needs to be there.
Whoops , rushed . Still more than one pound though .P.
..........Jumbo Jet Comparison .8 GW = ~ 1.1Mhp.This maintains 11 747-200s at cruising speed and altitude . Thrust therein is 550Klbs.Conceptual translation : 200,000 strong shotgun blasts per second .Actual thrust would vary according to system efficiency .P.M.
Orders of magnitude SLOWER than the RELATIVISTIC electrons .
In the end , kinetic energy equals kinetic energy .
The trick is how to capture/manipulate that energy .
In the end , kinetic energy equals kinetic energy
The logic chain dictates that it MUST balance out .
If properly captured , it can produce as much push as a group of cruising jumbo-jets .
Nothing is conserved because the EMR is not conserved .
It is nothing , that came from nothing .
It does NOT obey the same laws of physics as actual matter , because , in essence , IT is not there !
I said zilch about "accelerating a few micrograms" of anything .
The photon-electron energy transfer is an instantaneous translation of energy
to a form which can produce significant impact forces .
Read Reply # 289 ; classical momentum restrictions do not apply .P.M
Why not study some high school physics so you can avoid making foolish statements like that?
To actual science enthusiasts only.
Now then , about the personal insults
No ASSUMPTIONS , LOGIC ONLY !
This means we can assume 180° impacts between each pair of photon/electrons . The precise # of photons is actually unimportant . What matters is that the number of photons necessary to transmit 1GW of power , is matched by an equal number of electrons . A steady stream of electrons would be injected , to match the photons , and absorb .8 GW from them . That equates to the .8 GJ steady impact described above .
Since the construct has the entire 1 GW consumed by the electrons , or reflected backwards , where exactly do you see the 1GJ per sec of kinetic energy going ?
