Scientists University of Dresden denied the statement that the EM Drive engine is able to generate cravings without a reactive exhaust. It turned out that in the test team of the NASA Eagleworks laboratory, an error was made, due to which experts confused the effect of heating the measuring instrument with signs of thrust. This is reported by Edition Universe Today.
According to the engine developers, EM Drive works due to the reflection of electromagnetic radiation from the inner walls of the tight cavity, which allegedly creates craving. The world community of scientists was initially skeptical to this idea, since EM Drive in this case should have violated fundamental physical laws: according to the principle of preserving the impulse, the restless object cannot move without the force attached to it. However, in 2016, EagleWorks specialists confirmed the presence of a weak thrust arising from nothing.
In his study, German scientists reproduced the experimental installation with which they worked in NASA. It turned out that the imaginary traction became the result of the thermal effect that influenced the measuring device of the instrument. When working and heating the engine, the fastening elements were deformed, as a result of which the scale was knocked out. This deficiency was eliminated by improved suspension design, and new measurements did not confirm the engine performance.
