An Engineer Says He’s Found a Way to Overcome Earth’s Gravity
Yahoo! Tech••science
Key Points:
- Exodus Propulsion Technologies, led by former NASA engineer Charles Buhler, claims to have developed a propellant-less electrostatic drive that can generate thrust sufficient to overcome Earth's gravity, based on a newly discovered "New Force" outside current physics.
- This concept challenges fundamental physics principles, specifically conservation of momentum, and echoes previous controversial attempts like the EmDrive, which was ultimately debunked after extensive testing.
- Buhler's team, comprising members from NASA, Blue Origin, and the Air Force, has been experimenting with electrostatics for decades, reporting incremental thrust improvements culminating in their 2023 breakthrough claim.
- The scientific community remains highly skeptical, emphasizing the need for rigorous, independent verification, as past claims of propellant-less propulsion have
