Relativity drive: The end of wings and wheels?
I think the time is not very far away when we would be independent of friction factor that is playing a vital role in our life. Roger Shawyer has set to develop an engine that contains hardly a moving part and is enough to propel a rocket into the space plus make the train and other automobiles outdated. Roger engine makes use of law of relativity to exploit electromagnetic radiations to thrust. The engine is full environment friendly emitting no hazardous gasses.
The engine is so concise that it can adjust itself inside a suitcase and I can't help thinking that you would see the same engine pulling a space craft and automobiles, eliminating the need of fossil fuel. Roger is no more alone now, UK regime as well as NASA is supporting him to develop such a device that can trim down the time as well as money factor.
Last year, a crew named The Planetary Society tried to launch a solar sail called Cosmos 1 into orbit holding surface area of approx 600 sq m. But Shawyer amplified the idea and this taught him how to produce thrust Foe the purpose, he took a standard copper waveguide with blocked mouth at both ends and created microwaves using a magnetron.
Furthermore, he tells if you inject these microwaves into the cavity, the microwaves will jump from one end to the other end of the cavity. After that it makes the use of Maxwell principle, producing exerting a force on the cavity walls. Now carefully match the size of the cavity to the wavelength of the microwaves and you create a chamber in which the microwaves resonate, allowing it to store the huge energy that helps the engine to thrust the object.
Can you imagine how the flying crafts would appear without having wings on their lustrous bodies? Really, the innovation would put a great impact specifically on wheel and wings of transportation mediums.
