The struggle for financing – part III

With the renewed assessment procedure ASPS began to look for new investors. Despite the thought of the skeptics, who forecasted the inadequacy of the procedure to find potential financiers, on September 17th 2004 the Association received a letter from the Italian Ministry of Defense. Written by Admiral Lucio Accardo, who was at the time in […]

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 […]

The struggle for financing – part I

After we’ve discovered the amazing potentialities of PNN, someone could wonder why there isn’t yet a regular ferry service to Mars.. Well, the History is full of revolutionary inventions that had waited long time for their grand debut, mainly because the skepticism and lack of funding from investors. As Italian, I can’t not mention Guglielmo […]

Breaching the light speed barrier

There are good chances that PNN, besides the amazing potentialities we’ve covered in previous post, can break the ultimate barrier: the speed of light. Will PNN be the key for FTL travels? Let’s discover how it might be possible.. First we must know why, with our current technology, the speed of light (from now on “c”) is far away […]

Sailing across the solar system

Now that we know the potentialities of PNN-E let’s make a jump in the future and have a look at a PNN spaceship. During the days of SC23/a, ASPS released a sketch of their idea of starship: This is the translation from Italian of all its components: Nuclear reactor Shield Power adapter Power converter Primary radiator […]

The Electromagnetic Non Newtonian Propulsion or PNN-E

In the last post we’ve left ASPS realizing that PNN-M was unpractical, as the Superposition principle can’t be applied to the mechanics of SC23/a. The Association then transposed, in 1992, the concept behind PNN-M to electrodynamics, where the Superposition principle is applicable. The result was the birth, in 2001, of SC23, a new kind of device that […]

The Mechanical Non Newtonian Propulsion or PNN-M

In the first phase of research by ASPS, approximately during 80’s of the last century, the Association tried to work around the Third Law of Motion by using mechanical devices. The idea was to create a delay between an action force and its reaction force in an enclosed system: during said delay, a movement in […]

The limit of modern astronautics

Since the very beginning of its activity ASPS believed that the conventional astronautics cannot lead mankind through the stars, for a simple reason: the concept at the base of modern rocketry, to expell mass in order to obtain thrust, is barely exploitable for “rolling around” our planet, let alone conquering Mars or even set a permanent base on […]

Welcome to Neo Leges Motus

Dear reader, I decided to start this site because I’m very interested in the research and the development of PNN (Non Newtonian Propulsion) system invented by Emidio Laureti and his ASPS (Association for Space Propulsion Development). I stumbled upon ASPS pages back to the early days of Internet in 1998, while searching for space exploration news. […]
