Very interesting astronomical news: on August 25th the scientific magazine Nature reported that a rocky planet, with a mass similar to our Earth, has been observed orbiting around our cosmic neighbor, the ternary system of Alpha Centauri. This star system is composed of the stars Alpha Centauri a and b, very close to each other, plus a third small companion called Proxima Centauri […]

Unfortunately there have been some technical problems with F242 thruster or, to be more specific, in the connection with the ballistic pendulum. On […]
Read more "Unexpected malfunction"F242 on ballistic pendulum. The rigid pole passes through the prototype so it can be moved vertically. Dear readers, F242 thrust has been improved up to 2.56 grams! I would like to share with you the details of this achievement through a direct translation from the original article on ASPS website written by Laureti: As I […]
Read more "F242 is now at 2.56 grams of thrust"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 […]
Read more "F242 – The game changer"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 […]

An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. – Newton’s First law This law describes the behavior of any object when it is acted upon […]

If you’re new to the blog, for a better comprehension, I invite you to read my last post, where I deepen the working principle of electromagnetic propulsion. [Important: please read the note […]
Read more "ASPS’s Electromagnetic engine TDS VF2"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 […]
Read more "The Harold Ensle’s Engine"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. […]
Read more "PNN and EmDrive: what lies beneath?"Pluto has surprised scientists: its smooth surface reveals geological activity Just a quick post. Yesterday New Horizons probe has reached Pluto after a nine years long journey of 5 billions Kilometers, a distance so gigantic that light takes more than 4 hours to cover it. This is the first close encounter with the planet for a man-made object. […]
