Nasa validates 'impossible' space drive - Proven Overunity?

[schuler]

It seems it's a done deal...

Let's assume we have a rocket with total weight of 1002Kg. 2Kg are solid rocked fuel. The rocket burns 1Kg of fuel per second and each 1Kg of fuel produces 1000Newtons.

By having F=ma => a=F/m. The acceleration is approximately 1m/s2.

Assuming an universe without gravity (makes calculation simpler), after the first second, the kinetic energy is:

v=1 => E=mv²/2 = 1001*1/2 = 500.5J

Another second passes, another Kg is burnt, another 1000N are produced (fuel consumption and force produced are constant along the time) and the final kinetic energy is:

v=2 => E=1000*4/2 = 2000J. Incredible. The first 1000N created 500J, but the second 1000N created extra 1500J.

But, from now on, there is no need for fuel anymore as follows:

With above tested engine, the spent energy to propel the rocket is constant (from a solar array as example). But the kinetic energy grows faster. Sounds like OU.

Long life to overunity.

Long life to overunity.

I agree with you.  If a large force acting for a short duration of time (impulse)  is correctly managed,  it may give OU results

The rocket burns 1Kg of fuel per second and each 1Kg of fuel produces 1000Newtons.

Can you please explain  the meaning of it?   When 1 Kg of fuel is burnt,  its chemical energy is converted to heat energy in Joules and conversion of  heat energy further to mechanical energy is a highly inefficient process.   How a force of 1000 Newtons produced?
