EmDrive Engine Inventor’s Comments

Posted on February 20, 2013 by BTE-Dan

I had some email correspondence with Roger Shawyer, the inventor of the EmDrive propellantless spacecraft engine. As I discussed in a recent post, there is some controversy over whether the EmDrive is theoretically possible. Mr. Shawyer would like to make the following points of clarification, … Continue reading →

Cold Fusion Explained at MIT

Posted on February 9, 2013 by BTE-Dan

Could claims about Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (called LENR or Cold Fusion) end up not being real? Well, at this point I think that these nuclear reactions most likely are very real. Think about this. Many scientist have figured out ways to combine … Continue reading →
