The Si manufacturer I worked for for 35 yrs has a research lab that is responsible for working with scientists and universities on leading edge ideas whether directly in their product tech or not. <br /><br />Also, if you have a standard design in Si you could also put an LED in the mix as part of the design in Si if desired.<br /><br />One last question, you are using asymmetry as part of the design using light. From a Qi perspective does an asymmetrical capacitor using electric fields produce thrust in a similar manner?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02042202664057290984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637778157419388168.post-15908375832925986592020-01-28T12:48:13.519-08:002020-01-28T12:48:13.519-08:00Hi,

The proposal you cited is based on GR, which is certainly not QI. None of the previous proposals worked or we'd be on Mars or beyond by now. QI is a new proposal with specific tests, one of which may have shown the expected thrust (Tajmar's) but not yet conclusively. The deflection of the optical fibre resolves an interesting controversy in physics but does not look like new physics. We know that torches, for example, will show a recoil due to the momentum of exiting light (very small!). The QI drive will show a much higher thrust than that.Mike McCullochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00985573443686082382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637778157419388168.post-78445007241913650232019-12-27T18:23:46.957-08:002019-12-27T18:23:46.957-08:00Wasn't similar thing proposed or even observed...Wasn't similar thing <a href="http://www.intalek.com/Index/Projects/Research/0994.pdf" rel="nofollow">proposed</a> or even <a href="https://physics.aps.org/story/v22/st20" rel="nofollow">observed</a> already? <a href="https://i.imgur.com/XHJsFHj.mp4" rel="nofollow">Here</a> laser light deflect optical fiber by reactive force of light.Zephirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06010623752049244967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637778157419388168.post-12669887090539580402019-12-04T01:28:35.570-08:002019-12-04T01:28:35.570-08:00Javier: Using the formula in my paper which tests ...Javier: Using the formula in my paper which tests QI on the Podkletnov experiment (da = 7x10^-12R^2r/as), the change in weight in your 12,000 rpm experiment due to QI should be about 0.004%. The mass was 56g so the weight should change by ~2 milligrams. Since your balance only measures down to 0.01g you cannot measure that. You need a better balance.Mike McCullochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00985573443686082382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637778157419388168.post-71789456597937862072019-11-27T02:21:35.744-08:002019-11-27T02:21:35.744-08:00Dear Javier.

However, as I said in my book, to work it has to be cooled down to 77K or so to reduce background accelerations. There are other reasons it might not work as well and we can get into an email discussion if you like. Have you tried putting the gyro on the balance? (I know there is likely to be a problem with vibration).Mike McCullochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00985573443686082382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637778157419388168.post-78646103579508748342019-11-26T11:18:43.123-08:002019-11-26T11:18:43.123-08:00https://phys.org/news/2019-11-dark-matter-deficien...https://phys.org/news/2019-11-dark-matter-deficient-dwarf-galaxies.html<br /><br />Hot off the presses.mikenychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07395437556735851122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637778157419388168.post-76907287329684550662019-11-25T08:36:09.417-08:002019-11-25T08:36:09.417-08:00Dear Mike,

With new AA batteries it spins faster than 12000 RPM. I mounted a cylindrical steel test mass (aprox. 56 g) on a digital bascule (precision 0.01g) and the weight did not changed, even when the test mass was at 2 mm of the gyroscope outer ring, spinning at 12000 RPM or at 0 RPM.<br />The tests were done last week near Barcelona (Spain) from 11 AM to 5 PM (Universal Time).<br />Perhaps this negative result is due to inadequate design or understanding.<br />Javier Freire Venegashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17235197037825500052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637778157419388168.post-35161899095895557022019-11-22T03:37:57.628-08:002019-11-22T03:37:57.628-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.SkyLoophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18266342899067685792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637778157419388168.post-70637247207226856082019-11-16T12:58:15.583-08:002019-11-16T12:58:15.583-08:00Thanks for the update, Mike.

I am a little bit worried about the amateur construction, as Jimmy pointed out. While positive result might be good, negative results due to inadequate design & construction might lead people to believe "this is all a hoax". That being said, it's too important to ignore, and I am going to give it a go. But it's important that people realize the limitations of this device.Ireland as seen from Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13663634740229346088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637778157419388168.post-8126109325731848762019-11-15T07:30:06.276-08:002019-11-15T07:30:06.276-08:00I wanted to add this: forcing photon asymmetric re...I wanted to add this: forcing photon asymmetric resonance can make the particle "act" as if it has taken on mass<br /><br />"During the research the unique behavior of photons trapped in the cavity was found as they behaved like mass-bearing quasiparticles."<br /><br />"Properties of these quasiparticles, including electric charge, magnetic moment and mass, depend on the symmetry of the crystal and its spatial dimension."<br /><br />http://www.photonicsviews.com/massive-photons-in-an-artificial-magnetic-field/Managalarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13916805233078425208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637778157419388168.post-21564498243097551412019-11-14T19:31:13.262-08:002019-11-14T19:31:13.262-08:00Here's the most recent coherence paper cited b...Here's the most recent coherence paper cited by the article above:<br /><br />https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.10972tshorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11040735264408542307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637778157419388168.post-45468859999540646942019-11-14T19:17:20.631-08:002019-11-14T19:17:20.631-08:00Switching gears: the following evidence of objects...Switching gears: the following evidence of objects spinning together sounds a lot like QI effects.<br /><br />https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/zmj7pw/theres-growing-evidence-that-the-universe-is-connected-by-giant-structures<br /><br />https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/abs/2014/12/aa24631-14/aa24631-14.html<br /><br />Might be a good test of the simulator you and your postdoc are putting together.<br />tshorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11040735264408542307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637778157419388168.post-1874427086321256472019-11-14T10:35:46.363-08:002019-11-14T10:35:46.363-08:00Mike,
The big problem with trying backyard light ...Mike,<br /><br />The big problem with trying backyard light experiments is that the reflective losses from ordinary reflectors is far too high to give cavities with high Q values. The emdrive related force equations show that force is directly proportional to Q. For example, a million watt laser in a cavity of Q=10 will give the same force as a 1 watt laser in a cavity of 10^7. Unsophisticated metal wall RF cavities can have Q values in the 10^7 range. A simple optical cavity with a metal film mirror would be lucky to get a Q=100. This problem can be alleviated somewhat by using multi-layer dielectric mirrors, but this starts to take the problem out of the backyard experiment arena. Even an imperfect seam in the cavity joints will result in poor Q at optical wavelengths. Because RF wavelengths are so much longer than optical wavelengths minute cavity irregularities do not cause such problems.<br /><br />The foregoing is not an argument against using light as a means to test QI. Optical structures, like evanescent mode coupled resonant dielectric ring resonators, can have extremely high Q values above 10^7. However, I am unaware of an optical structure that is available to a home experimenter likely to have a high enough Q to produce measurable force. <br /><br />My opinion is that optical wavelength testing is likely to require university or commercial lab resources to give measurable results. Amateur scientific investigation with limited resources of what you label quantum drive forces has a much more fertile ground in the RF arena. I do not think that it was serendipitous that the apparent discovery of force without reaction mass ejection came during Shawyer's experiments with RF resonant cavities.<br /><br />Jimmy JohnsonJimmy Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547827814143221950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637778157419388168.post-87181810602462406602019-11-14T05:29:42.751-08:002019-11-14T05:29:42.751-08:00It is worth analyzing the recent work of Marco Fad...It is worth analyzing the recent work of Marco Fadi<br />Theoretical and CFD analysis of gravity and galaxy<br />formation and rotation in a dilatant vacuum.<br />https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-02343559/documentmlodzian@onet.euhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05934167710813548104noreply@blogger.com
