摘要:
EM Drive Fuel-free engine could take a spacecraft to Mars in 10 weeks.
Creates thrust by bouncing microwaves in chamber, using solar power.
Nasa has conducted more tests using an improved experimental process.
Test designed to remove errors from earlier study but still produced thrust.
Scientists still aren't sure how this happens as it defies the laws of physics.


全文:
An 'impossible' fuel-free engine, which could take a humans to Mars in just
10 weeks, is still defying science after another batch of tests by Nasa
suggested the thruster does work.
The so-called EM Drive creates thrust by bouncing microwaves around in an
enclosed chamber, and uses only solar power.
When the concept was first proposed, it was considered implausible because it
went against the laws of physics - and subsequent tests of the engine have
shown that the idea could revolutionise space travel.
Now Nasa has provided the first update on the test in months, and it seems to
suggest that the futuristic engine does, in fact, work.


Scientists, however, still don't know why.
The update was given by Paul March, one of the top engineers working the EM
Drive thruster at the Eagleworks Laboratory at the Johnson Space Center in
Texas.
He said Nasa has managed to remove some of the errors from earlier tests -
but still found signals of unexplained thrust.
Among the criticisms of previous experiments were that the tests were not
carried out in a vacuum, thereby mirroring the conditions in space.
But the latest Nasa test appears to have addressed these concerns.
March's announcement is the first direct announcement in months, with the
space agency largely remaining silent about any developments on the
controversial project.
March posted on the Nasa Spaceflight forum in reply to an unpublished paper
that claims the unaccounted thrust is generated by something known as the
Lorentz force.
The Lorentz force is the force that is exerted by a magnetic field on a
moving electric charge.
But March says his tests prove this is not true.
'I will tell you that we first built and installed a second generation,
closed face magnetic damper that reduced the stray magnetic fields in the
vacuum chamber by at least an order of magnitude and any Lorentz force
interactions it could produce,' he said
'And yet the anomalous thrust signals remain.'
March also says that in the latest developments, thermal expansion of the
thruster is taken into account to reduce all possible sources of error.
