A Patent for the Controversial & ‘Impossible’ Quantum Space Engine (EM Drive) Was Just Made Public

A Patent for the Controversial & ‘Impossible’ Quantum Space Engine (EM Drive) Was Just Made Public



Drive

 



A month ago, we published an article about the Cannae-Drive, which was invented by Guido Fetta, and tested by NASA over an eight day testing campaign that took place in August of 2013. It’s also known as the EM drive. It showed that a small amount of thrust was achieved inside a container without the use of any fuel. The results were then presented at the 50th Joint Propulsion Conference in Cleveland, Ohio.

You can access the paper (titled “Numerical and Experimental Results for a Novel Propulsion Technology Requiring no On-Board Propellant”) that was presented at the conference here, and inventor Guido Fetta’s paper here.

2016 has been a huge year for the EM drive, primarily because it was recently announced that it’s about to be tested in space, and NASA researchers reported a successful 10-week trial of their EM drive prototype, which led to the approval of Fetta being granted permission to test his own version in space.

Now, even more recently, the latest patent application for the new kind of rocket engine that generates thrust without any kind of exhaust or propellant was just released by the U.K. Intellectual Property office by investor Roger Shawyer (source).

“The patent process is a very significant process, it’s not like an academic peer review where everyone hides behind an anonymous review, it’s all out in the open,” Shawer told Marry-Ann Russon at the International Business Times.

He went on to say that “this is a proper, professional way of establishing prior ownership done by professionals in the patent office, and in order to publish my patent application, they had to first carry out a thorough examination of the physics in order to establish that the invention does not contravene the laws of physics.” 

Utilizing electromagnetic waves as fuel, the EM drive creates thrust by bouncing microwave photons back and forth in a cone-shaped metal cavity.

Now, Newton’s Third Law states that without exhaust you can’t produce thrust, or if something needs an “equal and opposite reaction,” something needs to be coming out of the back of the propulsion system to push it forward, and the EM drive doesn’t have that.

It’s called the law of conservation of momentum, but this invention taps into the ‘zero-point‘ field of energy/electromagnetic waves.

By the way, the laws of physics need to be changed to account for the fact that space is not empty.

Experiments from a number of researchers from around the world and NASA have shown that it can indeed produce thrust with enough power to propel a spacecraft.

This has huge implications. Think about it—propulsion systems that require no fuel.

Apparently, Shawyer is now working with a U.K. aerospace agency that will produce even more thrust, greater than what NASA and other researchers have already observed (source).

This is exciting because it basically proves that we have a limitless resource of energy to tap into and utilize for space travel  This is currently the biggest barrier for modern day space travel and exploration.

Science needs to be careful and stray far from getting caught up in the grip of scientific dogma. History has constantly shown us, especially within the realms of science, that what we accept as real always changes at another point in time. Our understanding and knowledge regarding the nature of our reality is constantly changing.

There is nothing new to be discovered in physics now. All that remains is more and more precise measurement.” This statement (worldview statement) was made by Lord Kelvin in 1900, which was shattered five years later when Einstein published his paper on special relativity.

Today, engineers are inventing power generators that utilize these concepts, like Paramahamsa Tewari.

“These are not just fringe scientists with science fiction ideas. They are mainstream ideas being published in mainstream physics journals and being taken seriously by mainstream military and NASA type funders. I’ve been taken out on aircraft carriers by the Navy and shown what it is we have to replace if we have new energy sources to provide new fuel methods.” – Dr. Harold E. Puthoff, director of the Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin (source)

 

 

 

Invention Secrecy and the Problem With Patents

 

 

Did you know that invention secrecy is at an all time high? Did you know that the U.S. Government classifies over 500 million pages of documents each year? Justification for the mass classification of information is (apparently) done for the sake of “national security,” but as we know:

“The dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweigh the dangers that are cited to justify them. There is a very grave danger that an announced need for an increased level of security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of censorship and concealment. That I do not tend to permit, so long as it’s in my control.” – JFK (source)

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is supposed to legally protect the inventions of entrepreneurs and companies, some of whom have developed groundbreaking technology. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way, as a number of documents obtained via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) reveal how the Patent Office has been using a secret system to withhold the approval of some applications.

A great example comes in the form of a 50-page document that was obtained by Kilpatrick Towsend & Stockton, LLP, who commonly represent major tech companies that include Apple, Google, and Twitter (to name a few). You can view that entire document HERE.

The program delaying patent applications is called the Sensitive Application Warning System (SWAS). Usually, when an application is submitted for a patent approval, it requires a couple of examiners who work with the Patent office to go through their process of approval. This process usually takes approximately 1 to 2 years, but  applications that are filed in SAWS must be approved by several people, and can be delayed for a number of years.

One great example (out of many) of delayed patent applications comes from Dr. Gerald F. Ross. He filed a patent application for a new invention he had devised to defeat the jamming of electromagnetic transmissions at specified frequencies. It was not until June 17, 2014 (almost 37 years later) that this patent was granted (source).

According to the Federation of American Scientists, a group of renowned scientists from various fields that was founded by many of the Manhattan Project scientists who wanted to prevent nuclear war, there were more than 5000 inventions that were under secrecy orders at the end of Fiscal Year 2014 (source).

This is all made possible by something called the “Invention Secrecy Act.” It was written up in 1951 and states that patent applications on new inventions can be subject to secrecy orders. These orders can restrict their publication if government agencies believe that their disclosure would be harmful to national security (source)(source).

As mentioned earlier, “national security” has become an excuse and justification for the classification of a large amount of information on a variety of topics that the public is deliberately kept in the dark about. Apparently, many of these projects and inventions go far above and beyond presidential knowledge.

“It is ironic that the U.S. should be fighting monstrously expensive wars allegedly to bring democracy to those countries, when it itself can no longer claim to be called a democracy when trillions, and I mean thousands of billions of dollars, have been spent on projects which both congress and the commander in chief know nothing about.”  – Paul Hellyer, Former Canadian Defence Minister  (source)

We don’t really know what other type of technologies are under restriction under the Invention Secrecy Act, but a previous list from 1971 was obtained by researcher Michael Ravnitzky. Most of the technology listed seems to be related to various military applications. You can view that list HERE (source).

As Steven Aftergood from the Federation of American Scientists reports:

“The 1971 list indicates that patents for solar photovoltaic generators were subject to review and possible restriction if the photovoltaics were more than 20% efficient. Energy conversion systems were likewise subject to review and possible restriction if they offered conversion efficiencies in excess of 70-80%” (source).






The Intellectual Property Office has published Shawyer's application featuring novel superconducting end plates.

EmDrive Exclusive: Roger Shawyer confirms MoD and DoD are interested in controversial space propulsion tech IBTimes UK





British EmDrive inventor Roger Shawyer has had his latest patent application for a next-generation superconducting thruster published by the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO), showing that his development of the controversial space propulsion technology is going ahead.

The patent, available here, describes a thruster that features a single flat superconducting plate on one end, while the other end is a unique shaped plate that is non-superconducting.

In order to minimise the internal Doppler shift (the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave for an observer moving relative to its source), circular polarisation and a phase-locked loop control the microwave input to the thruster, which maximises thrust as it accelerates.

Shawyer told IBTimes UK that he submitted the patent for the next-generation microwave thrusters 18 months ago, and that the patent is significant as it is currently very difficult – not to mention expensive – to produce a shaped non-superconducting end plate, since it has to be mounted on a sapphire substrate.

"This is pretty significant because it enables you to easily manufacture these things, and we want to produce thousands of them," he said. "The patent makes the construction of a viable superconducting thruster easier, and it will produce a lot of thrust."

2016: A big year for EmDrive

How the EmDrive works

The EmDrive is the invention of British scientist Roger Shawyer, who proposed in 1999 that based on the theory of special relativity, electricity converted into microwaves and fired within a truncated cone-shaped closed metal cavity causes the microwave particles to exert more force on the flat surface at the large end of the cone (i.e. there is less combined particle momentum at the narrow end due to a reduction in group particle velocity), thereby generating thrust.

His critics say that according to the law of conservation of momentum, his theory cannot work as in order for a thruster to gain momentum in one direction, a propellant must be expelled in the opposite direction, and the EmDrive is a closed system.

However, Shawyer claims that following fundamental physics involving the theory of special relativity, the EmDrive does in fact preserve the law of conservation of momentum and energy.

Whether the technology actually works, there is no denying that 2016 has been a big year for the EmDrive. In mid-September, a respected space propulsion funding body in the US held a conference that included half a day dedicated to discussions about the EmDrive, led by a number of physicists, engineers and researchers.

Just before this, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) confirmed that it had peer-reviewed and accepted a paper on the EmDrive by Nasa Eagleworks researchers, which will be published in December 2016.

The researchers first posted on the Nasa Spaceflight forum in April 2015 and in November said they had succeeded in achieving thrust with the microwave thruster they built, although they didn't know how. In March, the researchers claimed that the paper was going through peer review, although they didn't know when it would be published.

There has been a great deal of debate over whether the EmDrive actually works. Many academics in the international space community continue to believe that it is complete nonsense, as the technology violates the law of conservation of momentum, and thus our understanding of physics.

In the meantime, Roger Shawyer, the British engineer/scientist who invented the EmDrive concept in 1999, is working with an unnamed UK aerospace company to develop the second generation of EmDrive, which will produce thrust many orders of magnitude greater than that observed by Eagleworks or any other laboratory.

 

Millions of pounds at stake on this patent

"The patent process is a very significant process, it's not like an academic peer review where everyone hides behind an anonymous review, it's all out in the open. This is a proper professional way of establishing prior ownership done by professionals in the patent office, and in order to publish my patent application, they had to first carry out a thorough examination of the physics in order to establish that the invention does not contravene the laws of physics," stressed Shawyer.

"There's millions of pounds at stake on this particular patent."

Shawyer has so far had four patents granted by the IPO – the first, GB2229865, was granted on 5 May 1993 and described the basic theory and construction of a cylindrical thruster with a shaped internal dielectric.

The second, GB2334761, granted on 21 March 2000, described the theory and construction of a tapered thruster with a cylindrical dielectric. This is essentially the same basic idea behind the NASA Eagleworks thruster that has been undergoing tests over the last two years.

The third patent, GB2399601, was granted on 13 March 2003, describing a second-generation EmDrive that uses no dielectric and employs superconducting technology to achieve high thrust.

Shawyer also has another patent still undergoing the patent review process – on 6 February 2013, the patent GB2493361 was published by the IPO, describing a thruster that uses shaped end plates and superconducting technology as a means of controlling the microwave input to maintain thrust under acceleration.

Gyroscopic Propulsion


Gyroscopic Propulsion

http://www.geocities.ws/psyberplasm/img/fig4-05.png


By Glenn Turner

What do these "Propulsion devices" do?

 

The concept is to produce a gyroscope based device that can produce sufficient amounts of lift/force to be detectable and useful. In an extreme case this may mean that the machine could lift its own weight and hence is able to fly or just to push something along. However research is still in its early stages and I've yet to see one that can create any force under proper test conditions.

 

The use of the term "Anti-Gravity Device"

 

The use of the term "Anti-Gravity Device" is sometimes associated with this type of device. This is misleading and confusing in many ways and I don't believe the term should be used. It is highly unlikely that these type of devices effect gravity in any way. I believe the forces are independent of gravity and more related to the gyroscopic forces. From the evidence I’ve seen, if these devices really do produce force I believe energy is some how converting from rotational energy to a linear thrust.

  Then these 'machines' can be put to better use in space with a zero or micro gravity environment.

Are these devices related to zero point energy?

 

As far as I'm aware none. In fact great amounts of energy has to be put in to get any linear force out (if any).

 

Uses for gyroscopic propulsion devices

 

Gyroscopic propulsion would have a number of uses on land, sea, air and space. What uses the device can do depends on the amount of force produced and its efficiency to produce that force. It may turn out that they can only ever produce a force a fractional of the weight of the device e.g. a 10Kg device give 1% thurst = 100g thurst. The weight to thrust ratio will define whether the technology can be used on land, sea and in the air.

However in space the devices come into there own and they would be useful even if they could only produce a small thurst compared to theier mass. Rockets are used almost exclusively as a means of propelling something in space and although inefficient, it is the best we have at present. Assuming gyroscopic propulsion does work it provides a means of getting from A to B in space without taking your fuel up too. The devices could simply be solar powered so the fuel won't run out. Of course the device still needs a way to get it into space in the first place.



Sandy Kidd and Force Precessed Gyroscopes

A simplified description of force precessed gyroscopes

 

In the following set of diagrams red arrows are used to show the force applied to the structure. Provided the gyroscopes themselves are rotating in the correct direction (not shown on diagram) the gyroscopes will produce a counter-acting force known as precession, as shown in the diagram as two blue arrows.

Normally this would produce a continuous torque as the whole device is revolving which would cancel itself out in the form of stress in the structure of the machine. However in Sandy's patent the gyroscopes are pushed in/out using cams resulting in the following motion (represented by the eight diagrams). As far as I can understand a number of up-ward pulses are produced due to the two gyroscopes (in this particular case, more can be used) exerting a force towards the centre of the structure (axle). This in effect is a vastly simplified version of what is going on. A number of independent tests have shown results for and against the machine.

While working in the Air Force, Dundee based engineer Sandy Kidd was one day taking a gyroscope out of an aircraft. Not realising that the gyroscope was still running, he came down the steps of the aircraft and turned at the base of the steps. At this point the gyroscope almost threw him across the floor. This stirred his interest in gyroscopes, Sandy spent many years and tens of thousands of pounds in his garden-shed/garage developing and working on gyroscopic devices. Trying to get a number of gyroscopes to react against one another to produce lift. In time he developed a device that he claimed could achieve this. Building other models using that principle and discussing his ideas with others, he came to conclusions of how it worked. Dundee University was interested in the invention and for a time worked with him, but long term could not supply the funds or enthusiasm that was needed. He tried obtaining funds to develop his invention in Scotland, but had to resort to looking for funds elsewhere. An Australia corporation BWM took the task on to develop a gyroscopic propulsion system but unfortunately the company went bust. British Aerospace has also been involved in the research with him but dropped the funding.

A UK/European patent for his invention was applied for (I have a copy of the application). I did try to find a granted patent for Europe but without success. I ended up phoning the European patent office to find out if one was granted. I was told that it would have been, but it was withdrawn at the last moment (funding dropped). I did however find a granted US patent (5024112). The fees for the patent have stopped being paid for some years ago. Which means anyone is free to copy, sell etc his invention (At least in the US/Europe).

Sandy is still working on various devices based around gyroscopes and hopefully we will be seeing more inventive designs from him in the near future. 

Picture of Dr Bill Ferrier

Dr Bill Ferrier of Dundee University talking about Sandy Kidd's machine in 1986:

"..............There is no doubt that the machine does produce vertical lift. Several modifications were then made at my suggestions in order to disprove other possibilities of lift, particularly aerodynamic effects.

I am fully satisfied that this device needs further research and development. I have expressed myself willing to help Mr Kidd whose engineering ability is beyond question, and for whom I now have the greatest respect. I am currently trying to interest the university in housing the development and also in finding 'enterprise' money to fund the next stage.

I do not as yet understand why this device works. But it does work! The importance of this is probably obvious to the reader but, if it is not, let me just say that the technological possibilities of such a device are enormous. Its commercial exploitation must be worth millions."

Geoff Russell (Geoffrey C Russell)

 

July 1999 I got in contact with Geoff Russell (Patent No.2,090,404). He tells me that the machine based upon his patent has changed quite a lot. Vast improvements have been made over the years and he now has a device that he says "weighing 22lb, which was able to consistently register weight loss or vertical lift pulses of 20lb, give or take the odd oz".

He has very kindly given me diagrams and notes on one of the ways that he tests his devices


Geoff Russell Testing Method "Notes on Fig 1 Vertical Lift Weighing Board

Fig 1 is designed to detect and measure any vertical lift being generated by your machine. This is achieved essentially by providing a stable base on which to test your apparatus. While leaving the base and apps free to tilt vertically upward, in response to any vertical lift being generated.

Fig 1 consists of a flat rigid wooden board approx. 1" Thick, the overall size of which should be determined by the size and weight of your own apparatus. The board has two L shape aluminium sections attached to its underside. With the first positioned at the central pivotal axis and the second positioned at one end of the board. A contact switch is attached to this aluminium section so that it operates, lighting an indicator lamp each time the board tilts upward loosing contact with the ground.

A counter weight approx. the same weight as your apparatus is also required to vary the balance of the board. By varying the position of the board movement of the counter weight towards the central pivotal axis of the board, would mean that your apparatus would have to generate greater vertical lift to light the indicator lamp. Moving it away from the control axis has the reserve effect.

To determine how much vertical lift your apparatus is generating, you must use a spring balance to measure how much upward force is required to raise your apparatus sufficiently to tilt the board upward, lighting the indicator lamp. The reading you get is the amount of vertical lift your apparatus is generating. You should make a position on the board at which your apparatus is placed for all tests, including the measurements you take before each test to determine how much weightless or vertical lift is required to light the indicator lamp...

...Geoff Russell July 1999"




Geoff Wilson and the Wilson-Fourier Impulse Engine

 


Geoff Wilson is part of team working which have been experimenting with gyroscopic engines for some 20 years. They now beleave they finally have both the mathematics (copyrighted 1999) and the principals fully understood. They hope to exploit this new engine commencing Y2k. Hopefully more details will be released soon.
