About this episode

The episode discusses plasma propulsion and explores the concept of reactionless thrust in a vacuum chamber.

Plasma propulsion with Macka B in the background. Needs a little shake to get started. At full vacuum, there aren't enough ions to push it round; nevertheless, a Nostrian student mentioned 'reactionless thrust' a few months ago, something that I used to be really interested in, so I plan to put an old electrostatic motor in a vacuum chamber to see if 'reactionless thrust' is still science fiction. https://blossom.primal.net/c226996e5789b49187f8fe37e330f729647a4164ac1ae78577535ea791dc3d85.mp4
