So far von Braun's vision on the future of space flight as expressed in his famous article in Collier's magazine of October 1952 has not come true. The reason for this failure must be sought in the underlying propulsion physics that is based on the classical reaction principle. This barrier can be overcome only by a novel physical principle leading...

As we know, reaching the outer rim of the solar system in a relatively short period of time is impossible utilizing existing rocket technology. Radically ventured theories such as quantum vacuum propulsion must emerge if we have any desire to truly explore the far reaches of space. New concepts must be explored that may someday enable manned interp...

Only with novel physical principles, providing the proper engineering principles for propellantless propulsion, can the limits of classical propulsion be overcome. The concept of gravitational field propulsion represents such a novel principle by the capability of building devices for the generation of gravity-like (i.e. acceleration) fields in a w...

In 2006 Tajmar et al. reported on the measurements of extreme gravitomagnetic fields from small Nb rings at cryogenic temperatures that are about 18 orders of magnitude larger than gravitomagnetic fields obtained from GR (general relativity). Cifuolini in 2004 and the NASA-Stanford Gravity Probe-B experiment in 2007 confirmed the Lense-Thirring eff...
Conference Paper

Current space transportation systems are based on the principle of momentum conservation of classical physics. Therefore, all space vehicles need some kind of fuel for their operation. The basic physics underlying this propulsion principle severely limits the specific impulse and/or available thrust. Launch capabilities from the surface of the Eart...

All space vehicles in use today need some kind of fuel for operation. The basic physics underlying this propulsion principle severely limits the specific impulse and/or available thrust. Launch capabilities from the surface of the Earth require huge amounts of fuel. Hence, space flight, as envisaged by von Braun in the early 50s of the last century...

In this paper we discuss the current state of the art on the existence of gravity-like fields, which are gravitational fields that cannot be described by conventional gravitation, i.e. by the accumulation of mass. The gravitomagnetic effect of these fields is 18-20 orders of magnitude larger than predicted by classical GR frame dragging. The paper...

Spacetime physics includes general relativity (GR), quantum theory, quantum gravity, string theory (additional ex- ternal dimensions), and gauge theory (additional internal dimensions) as well as some modern variations. The paper will dis- cuss the requirements on future propulsion systems stemming from the demands for routine missions to LEO, the...
Conference Paper

All propulsion systems in use today are based on momentum conservation and rely on fuel [1]. There is one exception, namely gravity assist turns that use the gravitational fields of planets to accelerate a spacecraft. The only other long-range force known is the electromagnetic force or Lorentz force, acting on charged bodies or moving charges. Mag...

This paper describes in a non-mathematical way, by using a sequence of pictures, the physics of a novel space propulsion technique and its experimental realization, based on a unified field theory in a quantized, 8-dimen-sional space, developed by the late German physicist Burkhard Heim, termed Heim Quantum Theory (HQT or HT). Following a strict ge...

This paper describes a novel space propulsion technique, based on an extension of a unified field theory in a quantized, higher‐dimensional space, developed by the late B. Heim (1977) in the 50s and 60s of the last century, termed Heim Quantum Theory (HQT). As a consequence of the unification, HQT predicts six fundamental interactions . The two add...

... Hauser and Dröscher maintain that in their theoretical description of Tajmar's experiments these different results can be explained by different thermal environments in which the detectors operated. They have proposed a new geometric approach for describing physical interactions, called Extended Heim Theory [69][70][71][72]. This approach predicts the existence of three gravitational fields (both attractive and repulsive), of stable neutral leptons and of particles of imaginary mass, which might be a component of dark matter. ...
... In this article our argumentation, as in Part I [2] and Part II [3], will be mostly based on experimental data and to a lesser extent on speculative ideas, which are nevertheless needed if new physics is to be introduced. Keeping in line with Part I and Part II, emphasis is on the presentation of physical concepts, and mathematical derivations have been minimized. ...
... Signals were observed from Al, Nb and YBCO disks, but only for clockwise rotation. The experiments of 2009 [63] showed that liquid and superfluid [69][70][71][72]. This approach predicts the existence of three gravitational fields (both attractive and repulsive), of stable neutral leptons and of particles of imaginary mass, which might be a component of dark matter. ...
... These particles are deemed to be essential for the generation of the axial gravity-like field in the proposed Heim experiment, see. 34,35 In group SU G (2) it is assumed that ν 02 gp → ν g + ν q occurs, where ν g , the graviton, is responsible for attractive Newtonian gravity, but there is also the repulsive quintessence particle ν q , expanding the spacetime filed, that has a different gravitational coupling constant. That is, gravitation can be both attractive and repulsive. ...
... The purpose of this chapter is to present a brief overview on the novel physics that might lead to propulsion without fuel and to present experiments that might have measured gravity-like fields that cannot be described by GR (general relativity). A much more comprehensive discussion is given in our forthcoming book entitled Introduction to the Physics and Astrophysics of Gravity-Like Fields [1]. We also would like to mention the excellent recent comprehensive treatment of novel physical ideas aiming at the description of a unified field theory by V. Weberruss234 that lead to similar conclusions. ...
... Concerning this matter, we now study Example 2.14 accompanied by Figures 2.20 and 2.21 and Figures 2. 22 and 2.23, developing the scheme of calculation of the geodesics related to the 1s orbital of the electron of the hydrogen atom, then speaking of "electron geodesics". Well, we realize that the electron geodesics here are simple circles showing the radius r 0 around the center x = 0 defined by the nucleus, and these are determined by the vectorial relation (2.186) where n represents the normal vector of the circular area which is established by the basis vectors u and v placed within the circular area. ...
... As has been discussed for more than a decade in a series of papers [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28], if spaceflight as envisaged by Wernher von Braun is going to take place, a paradigm shift in space propulsion is needed, for details see [28]. As long as only the four fundamental forces are known, i.e., Newtonian (Einsteinian) gravitation (attractive, infinite range) and electrodynamics (Maxwell, infinite range) as well as the weak force (radioactive decay, range 10 −15 m) and the strong force (atomic nuclei, range about 10 −14 m), there is no possibility to escape the coercion of a propulsion technology requiring fuel. ...
... Four fundamental physical forces are known since the 1930s, and their mathematical description, to a large extent, was completed about five decades ago.

The picture depicts thrust as a function of specific impulse (multiplied by 9.81 m/s 2 one obtains the fuel exit velocity). ...

... Al-ternatively, if a 1g gravity-like field could be generated by a mechanism the size of an ICE (internal combustion engine) then a great diversity of applications would become possible. In the short version of their 2007 paper, "Advanced Propulsion Systems from Artificial Gravitational Fields" [4] , Dröscher and Hauser discussed how they would reconfigure the apparatus employed by Martin Tajmar [5] as a "bench test" experiment employing a spinning superconductor ring, though with some key differences in configuration. This apparatus would have two advantages: 1. ...
