Lately, NASA EM Drive is nullified by several scientists as they claim that the concept was scientifically impossible and dubbed absurd. Some of the organizations who believe to its principles and its great potential to unfold in the space travel undergone subsequent test and evaluations. Reportedly, the NASA EM drive proposed project findings wasn't consecutively successful, moreover, NASA is not working on warp drive technology.
On the other hand, there is a new case study titled "Direct Thrust Measurements of an EM Drive and Evaluation of Possible Side-Effects" presented by M. Tajmar and G. Fiedler of Institute of Aerospace Engineering, Technical University of Dresden to American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
The test study can't confirm or refute the claims of the EM Drive but intends to independently assess possible side-effects in the measurements method used so far. However, they have found out that it is impossible to have a propellantless propulsion system due to propellant requisite or an external field/ radiation pressure. Furthermore, they have concluded that such propulsion system has only been studied as a concept so far.
The entirety of Nasa EM drive was powered by the microwaves. Its principle violates the fundamental law of physics. The concept could make a great evolution in the ages of space travel because the engine supposedly can make a trip to Mars that will last 70 days without needing a massive used of gas that normally requires for the long active journey. Aside from that, it is highly advanced to use for the moon travel as it is capable of an abrupt journey to the Moon that can last in 4 hours.
The real deal of EM Drive's launching hasn't completely confirmed yet. In contrast, NASA denies working on warp drive technology. In a statement, NASA officials told space.com reveals, "While conceptual research into novel propulsion methods by a team at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston has created headlines. This is a small effort that has not yet shown any tangible results, in addition, NASA is not working on warp drive technology."
In the Nasaspaceflight EM Drive's forum, various vacuum experiments shown that they've used different measurement of ForcePerPowerInput (milliNewtons/kW) near to solve Mach Effect but not to Electro Magnetic. Moreover, some clarified that Mach Effect and Electro Magnetic approaches are two very different kind of theories and devices, which can't be mixed in the EM Drive experiments.
There are still skepticisms that need to deal with this controversial engine. But NASA EM Drive might unveil its astonishingly potential for the future, though NASA denies on working on warp drive technology.
