Engineers are working on an engine concept that may very well be impossible.
Such a creation would allow us to travel the far reaches of space and would arguably be the most exciting technological advancement of the century.Back in 2001, British scientist Roger Shawyer theorized that we could generate thrust by pumping microwaves into a conical chamber.
Shawyer suggested that the microwaves would, in theory, bounce exponentially off the chamber walls, creating enough propulsion to power a spacecraft without fuel.in EmDrive experiments. The amount was so low, though, that the detractors believe the thrust may have even been caused by outside influences. These could be seismic vibrations or the Earth's magnetic field.Over the last few months, several engineers and scientists have come out with contradictory positions on the EmDrive.
