Former NASA engineer claims a propellant-free force can overcome Earth’s gravity

Aerospace, Space & Environment /

In 2001, British electrical engineer Roger Shawyer unveiled the EmDrive, often dubbed the “impossible drive.” The device gained attention because Shawyer claimed it could generate thrust without using any propellant. If accurate, it would function as a reactionless drive—seemingly moving forward without expelling anything in the opposite direction. Such a concept directly challenges the law
