Nasa Reveals Successful Test Of 'impossible' Fuel-froee Engine by Olarewajub: 1:03pm On Nov 06, 2015
An 'impossible' fuel-free engine, which could take a humans to
Mars in just 10 weeks, is still defying science after another batch
of tests by Nasa suggested the thruster does work.
The so-called EM Drive creates thrust by bouncing microwaves
around in an enclosed chamber, and uses only solar power.
When the concept was first proposed, it was considered
implausible because it went against the laws of physics - and
subsequent tests of the engine have shown that the idea could
revolutionise space travel.
Now Nasa has provided the first update on the test in months,
and it seems to suggest that the futuristic engine does, in fact,
work.

WHAT IS AN EM DRIVE?
The concept of an EM Drive engine is relatively simple.
It provides thrust to a spacecraft by bouncing microwaves around
in a closed container.
Solar energy provides the electricity to power the microwaves,
which means that no propellant is needed.
The implications for this could be huge. For instance, current
satellites could be half the size they are today without the need
to carry fuel.
Humans could also travel further into space, generating their own
propulsion on the way.
But when the concept was first proposed it was considered
implausible because it went against the laws of physics.
Its allegedly fuel-free nature also means that the drive may
directly contradict the law of conservation of momentum.
It suggests it would produce a forward-facing force without an
equal and opposite force acting in the other direction.

it's Not against the laws of physics.
