Frequently Asked Questions

The history of science has shown that many ideas once believed to be impossible were later proven achievable. For example:

Heavier-than-air flight is impossible:
Many experts, including prominent physicists and engineers, believed powered flight for heavier-than-air machines violated known aerodynamic principles. The Wright brothers’ 1903 flight demonstrated the opposite. This event overturned centuries of doubt and launched modern aviation.
Breaking the Sound Barrier is impossible:
Many engineers thought an aircraft couldn't exceed Mach 1 because shock waves would cause uncontrollable forces, but it has been proven possible. In 1947, Chuck Yeager flew the Bell X-1 faster than the speed of sound, proving supersonic flight feasible and safe with proper design.

On this website, we will introduce simple, straightforward methods for generating propulsion without expelling reaction mass. While such ideas are often dismissed as impossible or inherently inefficient, our proposals are fundamentally different from radiative-based propulsion concepts.
Our proposals are not radiation-driven, are potentially scalable, and are grounded in established electromagnetic theories.

Our proposal is grounded in well-established principles of electromagnetism, including Maxwell’s equations and the Lorentz force. These laws are one of the pillars of modern physics, from relativity to quantum electrodynamics. We introduce no new or speculative physics; the proposed effects are testable, justified, and entirely consistent with existing theories. Since our proposals are tightly interwoven with these fundamentals, testing our conclusions would be equivalent to affirming or rejecting these fundamental principles themselves.

Not necessarily. The classical application of the third law assumes that all forces in a closed system are simultaneous and reciprocal. However, in systems with electromagnetic retardationdelayed or asymmetric far-field interactions, apparent asymmetries can arise.  Above all, it is conventionally accepted that Lorentz magnetic forces are non-central, and they may not act in the direction of connecting lines.  We can show that asymmetry can occur in several ways and can be used to generate efficient thrust.

No. The proposal does not involve energy creation or violation of conservation laws.
In our proposals, we demonstrate that interactions in classical electromagnetism can be asymmetric and produce a net force without violating conservation laws.

It is not unusual for new ideas to face resistance during early peer review. We have submitted versions of these works to a few peer-reviewed journals. After a quiet few months of waiting, we usually face rejection without feedback, or, when we do get feedback, we notice the reviewer has not read the paper thoroughly, in both cases of acceptance or rejection.   We believe we face these kinds of challenges because:

  • The idea challenges long-standing assumptions about the interaction of forces in closed systems.

  • Reviewers probably expect experimental evidence before examining theoretical backgrounds.

  • Novel concepts that do not fit into existing categories of electrodynamics or propulsion are often dismissed prematurely.

  • Some reviewers provide generic feedback without going into the depth of the idea.

To ensure transparency and fair evaluation, we have decided to publish the reviewer comments alongside the papers in the future so that readers can judge the arguments directly.

We have decided to share this work with the broadest possible audience and accelerate scientific progress, rather than waiting potentially years for formal publication. Our long-term objective remains full peer-reviewed publication, and we welcome collaboration with researchers interested in strengthening, testing, or expanding the results.

Possible applications include:

  • Spacecraft maneuvering without propellant

  • Deep-space missions with extremely long endurance

  • Attitude control systems

  • Micro–Newton to milli–Newton thrust devices powered by electricity alone

Propellantless propulsion would radically reduce mission mass and cost.

We have several proposals, and each proposal can achieve a different magnitude of force. The forces can be scalable, and with the advent of new materials, it is possible to reach large forces. An example in the section of the previously presented paper shows that these forces can reach several milli-newtons. Please see the example section of this paper.

The best way to support our work is to share it with others and help us reach a broader audience. We believe your engagement can spark curiosity in others and help us secure the attention we need to advance our work.
