F242 – The game changer

Have we found the sail for the sea above our own? Dear readers today news are exciting! I’m reporting an excerpt from the description of PNN prototype Fert242 written by Emidio Laureti. The post is long but I kindly invite you to take your time and read it until the end, because it describes the physical behavior of PNN like […]

The elusive displacement current

In 19th century Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell laid the foundations for modern electromagnetism theory by grouping in a single theory all the previous observations, experiments and equations attributable to such phenomenon. It demonstrates that light, electricity and magnetism are all manifestations of a single phenomenon: the electromagnetic field. Maxwell summarized Michael Faraday’s and Andre-Marie Ampere’s […]

2005 PNN roadshow video

Just a quick post. I created English subtitles for the PNN presentation video that was shot at Sheraton Hotel Rome on May 3rd 2005. In the presentation we see Massimo Ceccarelli, ASPS’s vice president, discussing about PNN potentialities and presenting prototype P26MR05. Unfortunately the video doesn’t show any experiment. The meeting was attended by Boeing and […]

The Harold Ensle’s Engine

In this post I would like to discuss another concept of electromagnetic propulsion: a patent application [1] for an engine that, as we’ll see, is closer to PNN-E than EmDrive. The name on the patent is Harold Ellis Ensle. There is no information about him on the web, so I suppose he’s a private inventor. Fig 1. Ensle’s Engine […]

PNN and EmDrive: what lies beneath?

The EmDrive At this point, after all my previous posts, I wouldn’t be surprised if some readers were wondering whether PNN really exists or it’s rather one of the many scams in the scientific world. The easiest way to convince everyone would be, of course, a public demonstration with the participation of scientific community that can validate ASPS‘s claims. […]

The struggle for financing -part II

After the failure of negotiations with Alenia, ASPS was in a stall situation. The problem they had to face was to convince a potential investor without revealing the know-how of PNN, clearly their biggest strength to negotiate with big industries. They solved the problem by writing an assessment procedure (valid up to August 2008) that […]
