Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Reactionless Thrust Drive
Not sure how many techies there are on the forum, but I thought this was pretty interesting.

That is interesting.
That is pretty cool. I'm a big fan of electric propulsion, namely, Hall Effect Thrusters (sometimes called Hall Current Thrusters).

I'll have to look into the Hall Effect Thruster, hadn't heard about that yet!
It sounds like we will be getting a report from NASA in the coming months on the gen 2, hopefully. I hadn't heard about the gen 1 until today either. I need to read more!
We've been using HETs on satellites for more than 10 years now with great success, but the technology is still developing and improving. The physics of HETs is solid, but we are developing better materials to deal with those physics in the space environment.Originally Posted by Calculated

Old news. Stan Deyo (http://standeyo.com/index.html) has been talking & covering this for quite a while now. Stan has just released some great video, photos and original notes from Townsend Brown's old work on electrogravitics, (Bahnson Company's High voltage lab in Winston Salem).
In my opinion, NASA is just a front, they "release" and "discover" old tech to satisfy the masses, while the real developments are done behind closed doors...
If you want to read some interesting stories, check out Stan's writings. He worked with Dr. Teller in Australia for many years.

While it sounds really tin-foily, this is absolutely true. If you think that we aren't hiding our best tech for military use, I've got some oceanfront property in Colorado to sell ya..
