Thrust calculation in a half wave dipole

Dear readers ,today I’m going to share Laureti’s method to calculate the thrust from a PNN dipole. This post contains the translation of this Laureti’s article on ASPS webpage. More information about the dipole setup can be found here on Neo Leges Motus. I refer you to that post to read about ASPS early method […]

The Little Cart is beyond the expectations

Dear readers, I gladly report Laureti’s account about the experiments with their Little Cart, from Nasa Spaceflight forum. I anticipate you that apparently the tests went well, indeed the prototype clearly showed the previously detected peculiarities of electromagnetic propulsion; in particular, thrust overlapping is confirmed, which leads to a non-linear inertia. This is an important […]

ASPS “Little Cart” is taking shape

Dear readers, ASPS has released on its homepage an update about the status of “Little Cart” project. I summarize the goal of the project for those who haven’t followed the whole story: on September 2017 the Association released its latest PNN thruster prototype named F432, which can produce a thrust of 250mg at an input […]

To Mars and back- hypothesis for a PNN spacecraft

Dear readers, This new year starts with interesting news. The work on the PNN spaceship is proceeding at slow pace on request of Laureti himself because he has some personal commitments to attend to, however if everything goes well the construction has been postponed to next February so the waiting is not too long. Meanwhile […]

More experimental evidences for PNN inertia

Dear readers, Laureti recently shared on ASPS webpage some details about F432 experimental setup and the incredible physics behind electromagnetic propulsion. He is now quite confident, after numerous experiments, that Newtonian mechanics can’t be applied to PNN thrust. This could mean (while we keep our feet on the ground waiting for resolutive in-space tests) that […]

F432: the space is getting closer – an update about ASPS prototypes part II

Dear readers, as promised here’s the second part of ASPS activity update. The great news is that after F449 the Association has created what seems to be the lucky thruster who’ll make it into space! The prototype name is F432 and it has the following specs: Input power: 250W Thrust: 250 mg ( measured at less […]

An update about ASPS prototypes part I – F449

Dear readers, today I’ve got interesting news about ASPS work. First of all, the Association has found external collaborators with whom it has worked on its latest official prototype, F242, to make it more suitable for testing in vacuum chambers and, of course, for space flight. Substantially, modifications have been made to make the thruster […]

F242 is operative again

Dear readers, Here is an update about F242 written by Laureti in the latest issue of ASPS official periodical Nova Astronautica: The PNN prototype F242 is operative again. I’ve tested it several times in late 2016 and that’s why there is a consistently delay in the publication of Nova Astronautica issue n.150. Practically I’ve had to […]

Unexpected malfunction

Dear readers, it has been a while since my last post because I’ve been a bit busy lately but today I would like to resume the blog activity with a rapid update directly from ASPS. Unfortunately there have been some technical problems with F242 thruster or, to be more specific, in the connection with the ballistic pendulum. On […]

ASPS position on Displacement current

This post is the conclusion of the brief history of ASPS written by Laureti for NASA spaceflight forum. Here he clarifies the Association point of view regarding the existence of the Displacement current. E.Laureti: With a few other physicists I’m fighting for years a battle about the nonexistence of the displacement current. Nonexistence in which many […]
