Phase Displacement Space Drive Interstellar Propulsion by Moacir L. Ferreira Jr. May 03, 2011

• In expelling-mass propulsion, most of the energy goes away with propellants. Δv=ve×ln(mi/mf) • There is a possibility of creating propulsion without expelling mass that doesn’t infringe Newton's third law (action-reaction) • Even though electromagnetic waves have no mass, they still carry momentum. Probably, due to interaction with space, which is permeated by electric/magnetic fields.

• Having two emitters A B, phased 0° 90°, and quarter-wave spaced (nλ+¼λ) • Starting from A, wave will reach B inphase 0° (repulsion) • Starting from B, wave will reach A incontra-phase 180° (attraction) • Waves' momentum pulls A, pushes B, creating thrust force, A towards B.

• Action-reaction is expected between space and waves, and between waves and emitters. Angular momentum probably is not conserved due to asymmetry (¼λ), converting into net thrust force. • Directional antennas, facing each other, can be used to concentrate radiation. In this case, higher RF voltage is needed due to higher impedance between antennas. • Even with heavy EM losses, it is expected to be comparatively more energy-efficient than expelling-mass propulsion.

To think: (0° 90°)(nλ+¼λ) → (attraction) (repulsion ) (0° 90°)(nλ+¾λ) → (repulsion ) (attraction) (0° 0°)(nλ ) → (repulsion ) (0° 0°)(nλ+½λ) → (attraction) … (0° 60°)(½λ+⅙λ) → (repulsion ) (attraction)

• Alternatively, having an array of dipoles, spaced-apart (½λ+ ⅙λ), and feed by six phases, running as a multiphasic linear AC motor. • Comparatively, it will consume more energy than the two directional antennas. However, it can perform more interaction with cosmic dusts and gases.

Fusion Energy Source

• Fusion fuels: He-3, Li-6/7, deuterium, and B 11; available on moons, planets and asteroids. • Multi-megavolt electrostatic generator (low charge/mass ratio). Neutralization at outputs (low power consumption). • Fusion energy conversion directly into electricity by multistage ion collectors; and subsequently recycling byproducts.

Fusion Energy Source

Conclusion: • All that is to reduce drastically dependence on propellants and also on rare fuels (uranium, plutonium, tritium, antimatter), making the interstellar travels technically feasible and economically affordable.
