The Mach Effect principle was not so controversial a long time ago. Mostly people concentrated on the near and left the far (ie what Mach Effect was about) to others until the point that it became a quaint old principle that few put any credence in. But considering that recent studies into 'dark matter' effects on galaxy spin (like the Milky Way) have determined that gravity of far off galaxies and galaxy clusters may be affecting this spin in ways beyond what is expected from the observed galactic mass. Until now this was believed to be explained by 'dark matter' mass which is not seen, but it seems far more credible that it is simply the effect of nearby gravitational forces working against that spin. If this can dethrone some previously attributed effects of dark matter in the universe, then it may be a possible force to act against for a thruster.

Eh? Piezoelectrical physical motion is no less real than EM radiation used in the EM drive. The difference is that EM drive was basically saying that EM radiation trapped in a cavity would be causing thrust beyond what a photon rocket could - ie producing thrust against an open system from energy trapped in a closed system. Where as MEGA is supposedly acting against anomalous gravitational forces in a matter similar to what was really happening in EM drive 'thrust' with Lorentz interactions against the Earth's magnetic field from a badly shielded power wire going to the microwave generator. So basically MEGA is doing on purpose with anomalous gravity what certain EM drive builds were doing with anomalous magnetism by accident. Only magnetic forces in deep space will be much harder to come across I imagine.
The EM drive maybe the photon equivalent of the Woodward drive because the photon varies in energy (therefore mass) at different points within the system. These variations in mass-energy interact with the Universal gravitation field to produce a back-reaction to the thrust.
Hell no he's brilliant and it works I've set up a small test and it inches forward so I don't know why there calling him crazy It makes sense and works
possible to work, if instead of pizoelectric cristal blade to by titanium blades, the blades are pushed forward by autside coil, the polarity electric current making the blades move back and forth. for the lamella to change its mass, you have to put current on each blade when they are pushed forward it passes positive current and when they are pushed back it passes negative current, inversation polarity of coil with alternative curent from the blade must be temporizate vith the same frecventa. so the electric current on a conductor can change the mass of the conductor, if the current is positive it means that the conductor has a empty of energy, if the current is negative it has a lot of charge energy.
The others who think they are scientists should be ashamed to have such a poor time to test out the mega drive. They should rather be objective and test it scientifically than demolish a new idea.

The thrust is no doubt possible. There are more variables on making it practical. Deterioration of piezo crystals is minor and can be replaced if the resonation is too small of a margin. Direction of travel will have to change because of gravitational forces. If not addressed then it is more likely to speed towards the strongest gravity ending its existence. The thrust to time to speed ratio would not likely be powerful enough for "Escape velocity" from exponential greater gravitational pulls. The closer it gets to speed of light the more propulsive energy is required. It would also be like steering the ship in between the all the effecting gravitational wave strengths to avoid being sucked into what is like it's minor black hole. Every time it needs to make a course correction it requires energy for that and the ship slows down. Gravity "sling shot" effects would require secondary propulsion system to be mandatory. It is also possible that the solar panel will act more like a solar sail. I do hope studies continue into this because it has potential to work in combination of other propulsive systems. I could imagine generation ships having these capabilities. I wonder if he thought of this when crystal quartz watches cycled on time.
Yes they should have more traditional me methods of thrust onboard for emergencies and they should only use the engine in interstellar space were the reach of gravity is so small that it wouldn’t be a problem
Nah, Mach was the real visionary here. The stale nature of his Mach Effect principle is part of why people are skeptical about MEGA. Woodward is simply taking a long shot out of making something usable out of Mach Effect. Considering ME may well have been proven recently by a study attempting to pin dark matter on the effect of gravitational spin I would say that ME has more credence now. But that does not necessarily translate into MEGA itself being viable. Certainly not with these extremely clunky looking prototypes. IMHO it may require cube like stacks of much, much smaller, more intricate devices like MEMS arrays to really make the concept viable. If so they certainly are in the right time for it given the smartphone age has drastically increased interest in MEMS devices and their production.
While my first instinct is to dismiss this as nonsense, once I realized it was really based on the work of Einstein I knew that there was definitely a possibility it could be real. Einstein tended to be right even when he was wrong.
Well it's reactionless drives that are nonsense because they break laws of physics. This one seems to fit in our current understanding of physics, so it may be worth looking into.
If this works, and if it can scale up dramatically, then it would make possible things that seem like sci-fi: vehicles that can travel not just through space, but through air as well, or simply hover, with no visible moving parts.
Google craft using inertial mass reduction device, high frequency gravitational wave generator, high frequency electromagnetic field generator, and room temperature superconductor.. all Patented by the US Navy under the name of Salvatore Pais. I may have spelled his last name wrong
If it works.... a scaled up version could potentially have huge mass savings. Even better than fusion which still requires most of its mass in fuel for interstellar journeys. Enough that you could afford to bring spares piezos and anything else you need.
@@chidanandpudakalakatti3039 that's easy , if it's proven to work powerfully enough :) no stone will be left unturned , Universities will have departments , governments etc etc
I'm rather skeptical. vibrations aka eccentrically moving masses were used in past attempts (for example dean drive heh :D ) and proven to not producing the thrust. But if one wants to be sure, why not to send small apparatus to ISS and test it in zero gravity? It may be most important discovery known to man. a few thousand dollars to test the functionality of the idea is nothing compared to possible benefits if effect exists.
Like the emdrive, build a small satellite, shoot it into space, let's see if it works, when it works, build more, collect data, throw an AI on it and tell it to make a better version/piezocrystal so on so forth.
Unfortunately that’s not how academia works. They want proof of claim before proof of concept. The only company really using the rapid prototyping method is SPACEX. I’m all for how you said to do it but academia makes that near impossible. That’s why we need groups of scientists and engineers that rapid prototype crowd funded ideas. Like a scientific Kickstarter and you could donate to whatever ideas you want to see tested rather than wait for a bunch of old guys to approve the math problem in order for the idea to move forward.
I hope he made this right. For my and his future project if it work both. Then there is nog limmit anymore. Can' t wait on all the results. And go fasters then light speed.
Hmmm its actually imposivol tu reach light speed, you will need to not have mass to reach light speed and also thers a way to reach andbe faster than light speed that wey is thrug bendind spacetime
They're not talking about light speed, they're talking about 20% of light speed. If you can maintain constant thrust for long periods of time, you could accelerate to 20% light speed by half way to alpha centauri, then turn the ship around and decelerate for the other half. You would average 10% of light speed by doing this, and since alpha centauri is 4.37 light years away, it would take 44 years to get there with this approach. The acceleration required would be 0.04 m/s^2, which would be so small, you would probably not even perceive it (gravity is 9.8 m/s^2). A better design would be one that accelerates at 9.8 m/s^2 until the halfway point, then flips around and decelerates by that same amount. You would be going close to light speed by the time you hit the mid point, averaging roughly half light speed. So the trip would take around 9 years from our perspective, and you would have earth like simulated gravity the entire time (except briefly when you stop accelerating at mid point and flip the ship around). Further, the travelers would be well into the realm of relativity and time would slow for the travelers, so their elapsed time would be less than 9 years.
People fail to see that even if you don’t use propellant you are still carrying energy locked in fuels. Whether it by plutonium for RTGs or fusion fuel, these drives being labeled “fuel-free” is very misleading. Even for single kilograms of payload you would need to pack hundreds of terawatt hours worth of fuel to reach near lights-red and if you plan on using solar or beamed power it is just better to use a photon sail. Also, technically any drive can reach another star in an astronaut’s lifetime with enough stored energy.
Sorry, I'm skeptical. The net mass change is so small that net thrust would be hidden in the random thermal vibration of the atoms in the crystal. I'd like for it to be true,but . . . also 10 micro newtons is REALLY small, how much power was consumed to get even that result?
I know this was posted a long time ago but I only just read about this and have been looking for more info when I found this video. It is a little missleading leading to your question. The thrust comes fromt he vibrational occilaction of the crystals not so much the power input. They are trying to find the "best" frequency, and for frequency changes it stupid small power requirements. On the paper I read they were testing a 20 second sweep from 45 kHz down to 25kHz off of 1.2Volts.
@@Zeroscifer I still have not seen net thrust numbers. This fundamentally breaks Newtonian mechanics. Unless they have isolated a new phenomenon, momentum does not appear from no where.
@@richardrigling4906 Yes but I was just addressing that one question you had. The new question is why the experiments are being done with NASA funding it. We will not know the answer there till they are done witht he testing. Quantum tunneling "broke physics" till we learned how it works.
Maybe not exactly, but it might as well be. If there are no propellers or jet engines or gas exhaust, and if it could be scaled, it would *look* like anti-gravity, even though it requires constant energy to pull off the effect.
There is an equation for mass In Woodwards’ book that predicts that the mass of an object can be negative by vibrating the space around it with very high energies. In all this talk about warp drives, there is always the problem of not having negative mass or exotic matter. But determining whether this effect is real would be an incredible breakthrough in interstellar travel and the scientist who would prove this would win the nobel price
Its not really the drive I worry about. Its about developing the sensor and obstacle avoidance I worry about. Hitting anything but open space would be a death sentence.
How big is the craft? Contrary to what many people think a larger space craft still needs more fuel or thrust to reach the same destination at the same time.
@@cedriceric9730 If mass varies it has to be "pushed in" (electrons). "Pushing" that mass in will balance the effect in opposite direction! Or am I missing something?
the biggest challenge of space travels is need of a mass to spend for moving. you can not move without a propellant. if somebody makes a moving device without propellant it can circulate inside galaxy.
All i can possibly imagine a machine that amplifies gravitational force to a level of ridiculous speeds on a selected target and get sucked into it with the spaceship until you get there, scifi stuff.. but who knows right

There's a patent for a ftl craft, it's a specialized metal double hulled circular craft with the center filled with mercury chilled to -15,000 degrees. They use high vibration frequency plasma which allows it to detach from the surrounding quanta. There's also a patent for a warp drive that ran off the excess liquid nitrogen used to chill the mercury. I asked Asteronx, Sean Carroll and some other physics scientists some questions on it since they hadn't done any videos on the science behind it, i was wondering if they used teslas vacuum tube and spark gap plasma energy in the process. They blocked me two years ago and wouldn't give me an answer after i posted the link for the patent. Now i can't even find the two patents on google.
Seems unlikely to work. The effect is very tiny and as you increase speed the effect will get smaller and smaller but it's going to take a long, long time to even get to where you see a decrease.
It sounds like if it does work as described that the way the current devices are engineered is fundamentally inefficient. Perhaps some kind of stacked MEMS device? Considering he's claimed that it will work better the smaller the device is then stacked MEMS is the way to go.

Yeah, but you didn't understand the relationship between energy and mass and how the mass can be altered and that's why it might work.

if Einstein's equation is correct, then, it is good idea to spin weights and after acceleration when they come back to make them lighter with electricity effects. throw away heavy staff and bring back light staff
Photons do not have frequency. They are a quantum representation of light as a particle, rather than as a wave which does exhibit frequency. There are countless frequencies of light waves on top of that, so you are just spouting gibberish.
Or the effect is simply not highly conducive to the device designs that they have thus far produced for testing. To me it looks clunky as hell, like early green/black monochromatic LCD vs the modern 4k 10 bpc HDR LCD TV's we enjoy today. The more obscure a force is, the more work is likely needed to get any useful thrust from making use of it for propulsion. In my mind the device itselfis far too clunky and may actually be acting significantly counter to the force they hope to achieve. What they need is to fundamentally model the expected forces and the necessary design of a device to use the effect as efficiently as possible, not just to produce the effect itself, but to make sure that the device is not actually producing a counter force at the same time. Thus far from the descriptions all the devices seem very hacked together rather than scientifically designed. This is to be expected with minimal research funds, but far from ideal for fundamental science. If they model an idealized thruster device that when manufactured does not actually produce significant thrust results then I would say to call it a day.
@@mnomadvfx Well, maybe. But the limitations of early LEDs (and early integrated circuits and so on) were clearly related to the "infancy" of our position on the technological S curve for that particular technology. The enormous progress we made in that arena could have been fairly easily predicted - there was a whole path of improvement already visible at the time, and we just needed to become more refined in our fabrication abilities to tap that capability. For example, we just needed to develop our ability to work with ever smaller process geometry to move toward today's integrated circuits. I don't see such a path in this case. I suppose one should "never say never," but it seems unlikely that such an improvement path will emerge in this case. No such path is evident yet, whereas the path was obviously evident in the other case. I'd quite love to be wrong, by the way. I just don't hold out a lot of hope, though.

The thrust is no doubt possible.
There are more variables on making it practical.
Deterioration of piezo crystals is minor and can be replaced if the resonation is too small of a margin.
Direction of travel will have to change because of gravitational forces.
If not addressed then it is more likely to speed towards the strongest gravity ending its existence.
The thrust to time to speed ratio would not likely be powerful enough for "Escape velocity" from exponential greater gravitational pulls.
The closer it gets to speed of light the more propulsive energy is required.
It would also be like steering the ship in between the all the effecting gravitational wave strengths to avoid being sucked into what is like it's minor black hole.
Every time it needs to make a course correction it requires energy for that and the ship slows down.
Gravity "sling shot" effects would require secondary propulsion system to be mandatory.
It is also possible that the solar panel will act more like a solar sail.
I do hope studies continue into this because it has potential to work in combination of other propulsive systems.
I could imagine generation ships having these capabilities.
I wonder if he thought of this when crystal quartz watches cycled on time.
Yes they should have more traditional me methods of thrust onboard for emergencies and they should only use the engine in interstellar space were the reach of gravity is so small that it wouldn’t be a problem
The ideas I've seen use vacuum tubes
Every visionary was a lunatic at some time in some one's world.
Nah, Mach was the real visionary here.
The stale nature of his Mach Effect principle is part of why people are skeptical about MEGA.
Woodward is simply taking a long shot out of making something usable out of Mach Effect.
Considering ME may well have been proven recently by a study attempting to pin dark matter on the effect of gravitational spin I would say that ME has more credence now.
But that does not necessarily translate into MEGA itself being viable.
Certainly not with these extremely clunky looking prototypes.
IMHO it may require cube like stacks of much, much smaller, more intricate devices like MEMS arrays to really make the concept viable.
If so they certainly are in the right time for it given the smartphone age has drastically increased interest in MEMS devices and their production.
I want funding to continue. He is not a nut but a visionary.
"Visionary"!
Maybe special mems will do the trick!
While my first instinct is to dismiss this as nonsense, once I realized it was really based on the work of Einstein I knew that there was definitely a possibility it could be real. Einstein tended to be right even when he was wrong.
Well it's reactionless drives that are nonsense because they break laws of physics. This one seems to fit in our current understanding of physics, so it may be worth looking into.
If this works, and if it can scale up dramatically, then it would make possible things that seem like sci-fi: vehicles that can travel not just through space, but through air as well, or simply hover, with no visible moving parts.
And there is real physical movement.
Wait What?
Staight up sifi, damn this is cool tho
The Inch Worm Drive. 🤪
Reactionless propulsion will happen when scientists figure out how to push against vacuum, like rowing a boat in water.

Piezo Electric material don't behave the same way for prolonged period......... that's a matter of concern I think
If it works.... a scaled up version could potentially have huge mass savings. Even better than fusion which still requires most of its mass in fuel for interstellar journeys. Enough that you could afford to bring spares piezos and anything else you need.
@@allineedis1mike81 what we need is to synthesize a new piezoelectric material which overcomes all shortcomings of present ones
@@chidanandpudakalakatti3039 that's easy , if it's proven to work powerfully enough :) no stone will be left unturned ,

@@cedriceric9730 that is the reason I asserted the need to synthesize new piezoelectric material
@@chidanandpudakalakatti3039 they will be made in zero g probably, we can do that now:)
I'm rather skeptical. vibrations aka eccentrically moving masses were used in past attempts (for example dean drive heh :D ) and proven to not producing the thrust. But if one wants to be sure, why not to send small apparatus to ISS and test it in zero gravity? It may be most important discovery known to man. a few thousand dollars to test the functionality of the idea is nothing compared to possible benefits if effect exists.
I seen this video(the original) around a year ago....maybe less. I'm very interested. An alternate study brought me back here. Imagine that.
Like the emdrive, build a small satellite, shoot it into space, let's see if it works, when it works, build more, collect data, throw an AI on it and tell it to make a better version/piezocrystal so on so forth.
Unfortunately that’s not how academia works. They want proof of claim before proof of concept. The only company really using the rapid prototyping method is SPACEX. I’m all for how you said to do it but academia makes that near impossible. That’s why we need groups of scientists and engineers that rapid prototype crowd funded ideas. Like a scientific Kickstarter and you could donate to whatever ideas you want to see tested rather than wait for a bunch of old guys to approve the math problem in order for the idea to move forward.
This device is interesting..
I hope he made this right. For my and his future project if it work both. Then there is nog limmit anymore. Can' t wait on all the results. And go fasters then light speed.
Hmmm its actually imposivol tu reach light speed, you will need to not have mass to reach light speed and also thers a way to reach andbe faster than light speed that wey is thrug bendind spacetime
Wut?

They're not talking about light speed, they're talking about 20% of light speed. If you can maintain constant thrust for long periods of time, you could accelerate to 20% light speed by half way to alpha centauri, then turn the ship around and decelerate for the other half. You would average 10% of light speed by doing this, and since alpha centauri is 4.37 light years away, it would take 44 years to get there with this approach. The acceleration required would be 0.04 m/s^2, which would be so small, you would probably not even perceive it (gravity is 9.8 m/s^2). A better design would be one that accelerates at 9.8 m/s^2 until the halfway point, then flips around and decelerates by that same amount. You would be going close to light speed by the time you hit the mid point, averaging roughly half light speed. So the trip would take around 9 years from our perspective, and you would have earth like simulated gravity the entire time (except briefly when you stop accelerating at mid point and flip the ship around). Further, the travelers would be well into the realm of relativity and time would slow for the travelers, so their elapsed time would be less than 9 years.
humans are going interstellar without fusion , warp, anti-gravity! just some tricky juice out of space!
He needs to spin the disc according to the Fibonacci pattern. Perhaps a gyroscope opposing effect would exponentially multiply the thrust in a vacuum.
They are claiming full Newtons of force now.
I won't believe anything about this unless it's explained in a 'Hawking voice'
Brilliant stuff. I'm watching. We'll see.
Sega should be proud again, lol😃
People fail to see that even if you don’t use propellant you are still carrying energy locked in fuels. Whether it by plutonium for RTGs or fusion fuel, these drives being labeled “fuel-free” is very misleading. Even for single kilograms of payload you would need to pack hundreds of terawatt hours worth of fuel to reach near lights-red and if you plan on using solar or beamed power it is just better to use a photon sail.
Also, technically any drive can reach another star in an astronaut’s lifetime with enough stored energy.
Sorry, I'm skeptical. The net mass change is so small that net thrust would be hidden in the random thermal vibration of the atoms in the crystal. I'd like for it to be true,but . . . also 10 micro newtons is REALLY small, how much power was consumed to get even that result?
I know this was posted a long time ago but I only just read about this and have been looking for more info when I found this video. It is a little missleading leading to your question. The thrust comes fromt he vibrational occilaction of the crystals not so much the power input. They are trying to find the "best" frequency, and for frequency changes it stupid small power requirements. On the paper I read they were testing a 20 second sweep from 45 kHz down to 25kHz off of 1.2Volts.
@@Zeroscifer I still have not seen net thrust numbers. This fundamentally breaks Newtonian mechanics. Unless they have isolated a new phenomenon, momentum does not appear from no where.
@@richardrigling4906 Yes but I was just addressing that one question you had. The new question is why the experiments are being done with NASA funding it. We will not know the answer there till they are done witht he testing. Quantum tunneling "broke physics" till we learned how it works.
But how do we slow it down?
Nukes
Prey you've identified the half way point correctly and point the pointy end of your ship to 🌎
Turn it around
t's good to have ideas. but this not a anti gravity drive
Maybe not exactly, but it might as well be. If there are no propellers or jet engines or gas exhaust, and if it could be scaled, it would *look* like anti-gravity, even though it requires constant energy to pull off the effect.
@@eventhisidistaken it's good enough to make us forget the heartbreak
@@eventhisidistaken it's good enough to make us forget the heartbreak
Hahahahaha. You bet. Put it alongside Dean drives and EM thrusters.
There is an equation for mass
In Woodwards’ book that predicts that the mass of an object can be negative by vibrating the space around it with very high energies. In all this talk about warp drives, there is always the problem of not having negative mass or exotic matter. But determining whether this effect is real would be an incredible breakthrough in interstellar travel and the scientist who would prove this would win the nobel price
Its not really the drive I worry about. Its about developing the sensor and obstacle avoidance I worry about. Hitting anything but open space would be a death sentence.
How much crystal is needed to achieve near lighy speed?
How big is the craft?
Contrary to what many people think a larger space craft still needs more fuel or thrust to reach the same destination at the same time.
Did he get a patent? Think of the royalties . . . on all interstellar, even intergalactic travel. Billions and billions could be an understatement.
Patents expire with 20 years , after that its free for all !
Nasa should build a big light bubble and travel with it. It should cover a spacecraft by little suns ,maybe it works.🤔
In general it is a mass oscillating back and forward.
No, it's a mass that's light one second and heavy the next according how you want it
If you oscillate it just right it will give a net thrust!!!!!!!!
@@cedriceric9730 If mass varies it has to be "pushed in" (electrons). "Pushing" that mass in will balance the effect in opposite direction! Or am I missing something?
@@cedriceric9730 it will only work if the power supply is on the ground, the electrons that contribute to that mass still retain their inertia.
the biggest challenge of space travels is need of a mass to spend for moving. you can not move without a propellant. if somebody makes a moving device without propellant it can circulate inside galaxy.
All i can possibly imagine a machine that amplifies gravitational force to a level of ridiculous speeds on a selected target and get sucked into it with the spaceship until you get there, scifi stuff.. but who knows right
like hit boat on the lack while u scoop up a bucket of water and throw it backward😆
The mock drive itself needs to be the craft and piloted from within.
Imagine if that this explain the way some bugs fly that we can't explain with aerodynamics alone
@⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ I'm not a big fan of the double vortex theory. Also the electric pulse that make the wing move is not generated in the brain, but by a neuronal network built in the muscle which is very strange and probably has a purpose to it
Will not work . The idea is correct but the selected solution is wrong. I have a working prototype by using different solution.
yikes, "lunatic" seems a bit harsh

hi
Sounds pretty iffy to me! I think what we need is not just *_one_* kind of propulsion for a given mission, but *_several options on the same platform!_* I'd hate to be out in space and have my engine conk out. I'd also hate to be in a situation where I suddenly realize I've got the wrong *_kind_* of engine for what I need to do now. Those kinds of things are just deadly. I'd want all the options I could get! Overbuild it. Besides, I'd want to start with some rocket fuel to get going, then convert to ion propulsion for the long haul. Nobody ever seems to discuss this (besides me.) Too bad. tavi.
Lets build a large version get it into space and try it out put it in a drone
Crystals are the future
Sounds like the “N-ray” assertion that received a Nobel prize over 100 years ago.
There's a patent for a ftl craft, it's a specialized metal double hulled circular craft with the center filled with mercury chilled to -15,000 degrees. They use high vibration frequency plasma which allows it to detach from the surrounding quanta.
There's also a patent for a warp drive that ran off the excess liquid nitrogen used to chill the mercury. I asked Asteronx, Sean Carroll and some other physics scientists some questions on it since they hadn't done any videos on the science behind it, i was wondering if they used teslas vacuum tube and spark gap plasma energy in the process. They blocked me two years ago and wouldn't give me an answer after i posted the link for the patent. Now i can't even find the two patents on google.
Seems unlikely to work. The effect is very tiny and as you increase speed the effect will get smaller and smaller but it's going to take a long, long time to even get to where you see a decrease.
the effect only gets smaller for an external observer, not for the spaceship or the crew inside
It sounds like if it does work as described that the way the current devices are engineered is fundamentally inefficient.
Perhaps some kind of stacked MEMS device?
Considering he's claimed that it will work better the smaller the device is then stacked MEMS is the way to go.
Of course, he is crazy ... but 30-50 years later he will be described as a genius ... as it often happens ... during the lifetime of a thruly bright person, nobody understands what he means, but 50 years later ...
Knowing Newton's physics and machs law if enough concurrent impulses could be synchronized. Perfectly it would produce thrust. It's a scale problem.
Woodward is either an incredible genius or an incredibly genius con-man. Either way the dude is incredible.
Who cares, give him all the money and support he needs, we can't afford not to if he's on to something.
I thought of this shit when I was 7!!! Good to see this idea actually being looked into
Yeah, but you didn't understand the relationship between energy and mass and how the mass can be altered and that's why it might work. I had a design for a perpetual motion machine made of magnets when I was 15, but just couldn't make it work. Later on, I learned why it wouldn't work no matter how well I constructed it.

Who are you to say whether i knew it or not at that age??? 🤷♂️
I have worked on Physics as a Hobby Physicist since i was 5 in Elementary school...
This was due to me being Bullied in School EXPECIALLY during recess. Soooo, I purposely failed class math so i would have to do schoolwork inside for Recess in order to Avoid said Bullies, and ever since i just stayed inside every recess throughout elementary and middle school, which is how i started sooo early.
I was introduced to lorentz transforms by 6, and worked on mass energy equivalence and the rest of relativity around the range of 7 - 8 years old....
Sooo, Yeeeeah...
I did know about it at a young age, OR at least enough to know the basic mechanism... Even though i admit, it was at a VERY mental visualization based level....
Which, Means when it came to fine tune adjustments aka Calculus, and some more advanced trigonometry based functions in GR and SR, i couldn't explain it in that way. I didn't get introduced to that type of stuff till 4 years ago aka Freshman year and Highschool when i slowed down on the maths (from burning myself out with it at a young age).

if Einstein's equation is correct, then, it is good idea to spin weights and after acceleration when they come back to make them lighter with electricity effects. throw away heavy staff and bring back light staff
Wow and yes NASA doesn't waste money on engine's that don't work
Not enough funding to have an AI do a frequency scan?
Maybe it should first vibrate in hydrogen frequency?
Tune it to the frequency of a photon.
Photons do not have frequency.
They are a quantum representation of light as a particle, rather than as a wave which does exhibit frequency.
There are countless frequencies of light waves on top of that, so you are just spouting gibberish.
I suspect if this was going to pay off it would have by now.
Or the effect is simply not highly conducive to the device designs that they have thus far produced for testing.
To me it looks clunky as hell, like early green/black monochromatic LCD vs the modern 4k 10 bpc HDR LCD TV's we enjoy today.
The more obscure a force is, the more work is likely needed to get any useful thrust from making use of it for propulsion.
In my mind the device itselfis far too clunky and may actually be acting significantly counter to the force they hope to achieve.
What they need is to fundamentally model the expected forces and the necessary design of a device to use the effect as efficiently as possible, not just to produce the effect itself, but to make sure that the device is not actually producing a counter force at the same time.
Thus far from the descriptions all the devices seem very hacked together rather than scientifically designed.
This is to be expected with minimal research funds, but far from ideal for fundamental science.
If they model an idealized thruster device that when manufactured does not actually produce significant thrust results then I would say to call it a day.
@@mnomadvfx Well, maybe. But the limitations of early LEDs (and early integrated circuits and so on) were clearly related to the "infancy" of our position on the technological S curve for that particular technology. The enormous progress we made in that arena could have been fairly easily predicted - there was a whole path of improvement already visible at the time, and we just needed to become more refined in our fabrication abilities to tap that capability. For example, we just needed to develop our ability to work with ever smaller process geometry to move toward today's integrated circuits. I don't see such a path in this case. I suppose one should "never say never," but it seems unlikely that such an improvement path will emerge in this case. No such path is evident yet, whereas the path was obviously evident in the other case.
I'd quite love to be wrong, by the way. I just don't hold out a lot of hope, though.
Wrong physics... But the thrust is produced by another physics laws...
"... and some controversial physics to develop thrust.."
A few hundred nano-Newtons of thrust is going to get a spaceship close to light speed in only about,... let's see, .... about 500 trillion years. Now that's a breakthrough!!
Instead of calling it Mech Effect, call it the Mass Effect.
Mega Drive is closest to Mind Power.
