Is EM-drive joke or not?

Is the EM-drive some kind of weapon? That kind of electromagnetic loudspeaker can install on killer satellites. Which mission is to destroy communication or some other important support systems like positioning or recon satellites. The microwave can cause damages to the electronics of other satellites. 

The thing about EM drives is that they are all purely theoretical. And their thrust in sea level is less than one billionth of the regular rockets. They are all hypothetical systems if we are talking about wave-movement-based systems or so-called photon rockets. And their cousins microwave-based EM-drives. The photon rockets are researched from the 1970s and the idea is that only photons can reach the speed of light. 

The fact is that all engines that are introduced here are hypothetical or theoretical. And the photon or other  EM-drive would not ever operate in the atmosphere. The only operational area of those engines would be far away from the atmosphere. 

If we shoot photons in a WARP bubble. They would travel faster than other photons. Same way microwaves can cross the speed of light in WARP-bubble. 

The idea of the EM-drive like photon or microwave engines as the higher-than speed of light thrusters bases the idea of the shoot photons to the WARP bubble. In that case, the photons or microwaves that are traveling in WARP-bubble. Travel faster than the speed of light is outside the WARP bubble. 

A small WARP bubble might be created accidentally by researchers. There is the possibility create the electron-size WARP bubble. And then shooting photons through it. That thing makes it possible that photons travel short moments faster than light. 

The problem with photon rockets is a weak thrust and that system is useful only in the speed that is near the speed of light. The photon rockets are like the microwave engines systems that are planned to use in interstellar flights. So wave-movement-based EM-engines are not suitable even for interplanetary flight. There are three types of photon rockets planned in theoretical research. 

1) So-called non-coherent photon engine which uses the normal photons. That is the system that is normally called a photon rocket. The thrust for that engine can increase by using antimatter. In that case, the annihilation is creating the thrust and photons. That is needed in the last part of acceleration. 

2) The laser-beam or coherent photon engine. That engine uses laser rays. And it can give more thrust than a non-coherent photon engine. The lasers can also use to push things like solar sails. But in this text focus is on the laser engines, which laser is in the craft. 

That system would shoot laser rays. Through the rocket's reaction chamber. That system is planned to use with antimatter engines. The antimatter would react in the combustion chamber. 

That laser ray can use to increase the temperature in the combustion chamber. And it can use along with ion rockets. In that case, ions will travel through the ion accelerator and the laser will increase their energy level. 

And then the laser beam would give the last punch to craft. The laser beam can be used to vaporize some gas. And then it can use to travel between planets. But for interstellar flight, there is needed to use some other device like an antimatter engine. 

3) Microwave engines. Along with microwaves, the thrust of those systems is similar to some free photon engines. But microwaves can use to replace combustion in the combustion chamber. In that case, gas like liquid methane or hydrogen will give the thrust. The EM engine is normally useless. 

But if there is injected vaporizing material. The vaporized gas would give the thrust for that engine. The microwaves can also be used to vaporize silicon or some other solid material for use in ion engines. The ion engines would ionize that vapor and then it can be driven to the magnetic accelerator. 

Is EM engine some kind of microwave weapon? As I wrote at the beginning of this text? The microwave engine can also be a microwave weapon. If some killer satellite would be equipped with microwave cannon which is similar to the so-called EM-drive, that thing can damage the other satellites quite easily.

The combat spacecraft are quite easy to produce

Kimmo Huosionmaa

There are many ways to make realistic combat spacecraft and the governments of the USA, Russia, and China might have many versions of those things, what seems like some Science Fiction stuff. One of the most realistic versions of making "killer satellite"is used as a "Mercury"-type spacecraft, what is filled with plastic explosives. The nose of the spacecraft must be weaker than another layer, and then the explosives just break the core of the spacecraft, and at the front of the explosives might be steel balls, what would travel to the target with extremely high speed.


The problem with that device is actually the debris, what would close the trajectory from all satellites. This is why the military space systems are not allowed to test in space. And that's why there is created the anti-satellite weapons, what uses microwaves to destroying the targeted satellites. Microwave would be unseen, and the target would not break in the pieces, what can cause dangerous debris.

One version of this weapon, what would base the existing technology of this thing could be manned or unmanned  " Mercury"-type spacecraft, what would be equipped with the microwave burst weapon. The principle of this killer satellite is similar to high power microwave bomb, what is dropped from conventional bombers, and that weapon could damage electronics and other equipment in the very sharp area.


This system works that high-explosive material would give pressure to the battery, what is inside that weapon. And after that, the high voltage electricity would be conducted to the microwave transmitter what is at the nose of this weapon. If this technology would be used with killer satellites, they would take off the enemy's space systems without radioactive fallout, and if that system uses microwaves, there would not be debris in that trajectory.


This system would be a single shot version of killer satellites, but it can be very effective and realistic version of the killer satellites. In this case, the ground control would drive this system near the targeted satellite, and then shoot it with microwave. It could also be used against attacking missiles, and at least couple of them would be damaged if the raising missile would get hit by high power EMP-weapon, what could damage the targeting systems of the warheads.

The “Sarmat” missile

"Sarmat" missile
(Picture 1)

“Sarmat” is nothing like any other ICBM. This weapon is mobilized version of the SS-18 (R36) missile, what was the largest thermonuclear weapon in the world. It has more warheads and capacity to raise those weapons in the orbital trajectory. This weapon is actually FOBS (Fractional Orbital Bombardment System”, what is tested by the Soviet Union and the possible USA in 1960’s. Those weapons have huge weapons load, what makes them very terrible. In those weapons is MIRV (Multiple Independently Targeted Reentry Vehicles) what can be targeted to same target or different places around the world. This kind of FOBS-weapons can send to orbital trajectory weeks or even years before shooting order.


They can play normal satellites, and when the order of action comes, the satellite would start to drop nuclear weapons to their targets. This eliminates the way to locate those weapons by using its communication signals as the tip. If those weapons could be located, there is the way to target them with high-altitude ASAT systems. The thing why those nuclear weapons would not locate very easily is that they can work with the normal satellites. And when those weapons are needed, the programs of the computers must only change, what makes those satellites the ultimate killers.


Those warheads are actually independently targeted and they can use like carpets, where all warheads would be put in the same place. But those FOBS weapons have the very frightened capacity, that they could be sent to the orbital trajectory, and then dropped one by one in many targets, what is separated from together. Also “Sarmat” can drop one warhead and leave other to MIRV-bus waiting for next target. Those weapons can be programmed to explode in the orbital trajectory, in the atmosphere or they can program to hit the ground in the line, and that kind of weapons can destroy even the command center of NORAD.


FOBS capacity makes that weapon so terrible. It can be used against highly mobile targets, and it can threat also U.S task fleet and submarines. Those weapons would be used with reconnaissance satellites, what are looking for “hard to find easy to kill” targets for that weapon. The capacity to use one warhead by one is because this weapon must find those highly mobile targets before it can take effect to them.
