EM Drive
Also known as EmDrive - Electromagnetic Drive, radio frequency resonant cavity thruster, EmDrive, Impossible Drive
The EmDrive is a controversial device first proposed in 2001, purported by its inventors to be a reactionless drive. While no mechanism for operation was proposed, this would violate the law of conservation of momentum and other laws of physics. The concept has at times been referred to as a resonant cavity thruster. The idea is generally considered by physicists to be pseudoscience.
