Highlight:

Is emission-less propulsion possible? I believe it is... [View all] mikelewis Dec 2023 OP

Isn't this forum supposed to be at least partially science-based? NCIndie Dec 2023 #1

How lovely... and your proof that it's wrong is? mikelewis Dec 2023 #2

I really hope this is all tongue-in-cheek. If so, that's one for you! Just in case... NCIndie Dec 2023 #5

Ok... please read a little farther down the post please... There is no plan for a shotgun based propulsion design... mikelewis Dec 2023 #7

I read it before I posted. NCIndie Dec 2023 #9

The recoil pulls the gun away from you? Indeed... but not completely.... mikelewis Dec 2023 #29

Interesting topic.... Think. Again. Dec 2023 #3

I think you're missing the point... none of those are useful for extended space travel... or can reach similar speeds mikelewis Dec 2023 #4

My apologies... Think. Again. Dec 2023 #15

All of those have a terrible carbon footprint. mikelewis Dec 2023 #21

It's an interesting concept... Think. Again. Dec 2023 #35

My apologies. Duppers Dec 2023 #34

Interesting. You mean no CO2 emissions during the operation of the vehicle. NCIndie Dec 2023 #6

This isn't about the energy required to run it.. that's still a problem... for a bit... we first have to see.... mikelewis Dec 2023 #8

Innovation starts with skeptics being skeptical. I'll take that role. NCIndie Dec 2023 #10

I built this idea fighting A for the past year... lol... so thank you I do appreciate skepticism. It built this idea. mikelewis Dec 2023 #12

Be combative! NCIndie Dec 2023 #13

That is precisely why I am here... I have had my ass handed to me so many times on this forum.... LOL mikelewis Dec 2023 #14

He gets more than combative Bernardo de La Paz Dec 2023 #57

Not if construction is done... Think. Again. Dec 2023 #16

Ok. Namely....? NCIndie Dec 2023 #17

Namely what?... Think. Again. Dec 2023 #18

You're going to build a car with zero carbon footprint because of renewables+nuclear? NCIndie Dec 2023 #19

Yeah.... Think. Again. Dec 2023 #20

Correct! However... it's much less than you think... I was shocked too mikelewis Dec 2023 #23

I hate ads 😏 mikelewis Dec 2023 #24

OK, some numbers for position (Python? Why Python? This is a physics problem, not a numerical procedure) muriel_volestrangler Dec 2023 #81

After firing the total momentum is 0... mikelewis Dec 2023 #83

Can you try to write better, please? Your questions, or messages, are obscured by your style. muriel_volestrangler Dec 2023 #84

And now specifically to your point... mikelewis Dec 2023 #31

Why this is actually inline with physics... mikelewis Dec 2023 #32

The apparent paradox arises from a simplified view of the situation and is resolved when considering the full complexity mikelewis Dec 2023 #33

This part of the argument is where chatgpt is completely botching the physics. Salviati Dec 2023 #37

I said that outloud and a goat appeared in my living room... mikelewis Dec 2023 #38

Chat GPT is not a content expert. Salviati Dec 2023 #36

You are most certainly correct... mikelewis Dec 2023 #39

Not logic. "view count" is not equal to "copy-paste" nor equal to "don't understand the math" Bernardo de La Paz Dec 2023 #62

Why on earth do you think I would be trying to use logic against you? mikelewis Dec 2023 #64
