Renowned scientist Dr. Charles Buhler and his esteemed partners at Exodus Propulsion Technologies believe they have discovered a way to propel an object without expelling mass, a feat that many experts once claimed would defy all laws of physics. Their expertise and dedication to the field lend credibility to this groundbreaking discovery.

In 2001, British Electrical Engineer Roger Shawyer was the first to introduce the concept, which many began calling the “impossible drive.”

In 2001, British Electrical Engineer Roger Shawyer became the first to introduce a concept on a theoretical level, which many began calling the “impossible drive.”

The concept remained highly controversial among researchers as it technically defies the laws of physics, such as the conservation of momentum.

According to the engineer, the microwaves bounce within the cavity, creating a difference in radiation pressure that results in a thrust directed toward the cone’s narrow end. 

However, this wasn’t the end of the concept, as new challengers emerged, and they had the expertise of a NASA scientist to guide them. 

The new device is said to defy the current laws of physics and can produce enough thrust to bypass Earth’s gravity. 

Buhler believes that he and his colleagues have discovered a new fundamental force as a result of their experiments centered on creating a propellantless drive. 

He continued, “This discovery of a New Force is fundamental in that electric fields alone can generate a sustainable force onto an object and allow center-of-mass translation of said object without expelling mass.”

Most of the Buhler researchers had been researching the possibility of propellantless drives for many years before switching their focus to electrostatics. 

In 2023, they had their breakthrough when their device, powered by the new force, generated enough thrust to overcome our planet’s gravity. 

During his presentation, titled “The Discovery of Propellantless Propulsion: The Direct Conversion of Electrical Energy into Physical Thrust,” Buhler assured listeners his project was not affiliated with his former employer, NASA, or the US Government. 

This included the various mathematical equations used and the numerous models and configurations of their propellantless propulsion, which ultimately led the team to their historic breakthrough. 

“Nature has its own way of doing things,” Buhler explained, “and it is our job to uncover what nature does. It just happened to fall into my lap in what I’m the expert in.”

“Our materials are composed of many types of charge carrier coatings that have to be supported on a dielectric film,” Buhler told The Debrief. “Our aim is to make it as lightweight as possible, but that is sometimes difficult since the films and their coatings have to have a high dielectric breakdown strength.”

“So, what that basically means is that there’s some underlying physics that can essentially place force on an object should those two constraints be met,” he wrote.

He continued, “It will be this force that we will use to propel objects for the next 1,000 years until the next thing comes.”

This is, in part, due to the history of propellantless drives, which have been filled with positive results only to later be debunked.

“We can see some of these things sit on a scale for days, and if they still have charge in them, they are still producing thrust,” he told Ventura. “It’s very hard to reconcile, from a scientific point of view, because it does seem to violate a lot of energy laws that we have,” he said. 

“The thing that we worry about are the companies that have appeared out of nowhere after the patent came out and had instant success without the years of rigor and no acknowledgment of our patent,” he said.

“Knowledge of gas breakdown, corona generation, brush discharges, streamers, glow discharges, plasma physics, etc., is usually too much for engineers to bear alone,” he said, “and the number of experts in Electrostatics is very, very few.

“We hope companies will want to license our technology, which is mutually beneficial,” he added. “We can help their technology and gain some funding for our time to do so.”

“It’s going to take a physicist much smarter than me to come up with all of that,” he said. However, the scientist suggested that researchers should be able to use their data and carry out their own tests to better understand the nature of what could potentially be a new force.

Should they make a breakthrough confirming his teams discovered a new force capable of generating thrust without any kind of propellant, it could revolutionize the future of space travel and our understanding of the universe.
