Hypothetical thrusters
NOTE : These are listed by name, regardless of practicality or possibility within reality.
TERM
> Mach/Woodward Effect Thruster: Field propulsion spacecraft harnessing transient mass fluctuations in an object absorbing internal energy while undergoing proper acceleration. (Impossible!)
> Impulse Engine: An engine causing acceleration through creating gravitational potential, not requiring a negative energy gradient, but not allowing relativistic speeds either. (Seems more possible than other things here.)
> Wormhole traversal: Theoretically possible with exotic matter / negative energy gradient, also theoretically allows warp travel.
> Alcubierre drive: Theoretical model of warp drive, requires more energy than a solar system(citation needed) and negative energy.
> Helical Engine: Taking advantage of inertial mass changes in a stream of orbiting particles traveling at relativistic speeds to generate momentum without reaction mass in a closed system. (Impossible!)
> Gyroscopic Inertial Thruster: Generates an anomalous thrust vector by pushing on a gyroscope. (Impossible, thoroughly studied.)
> Dean drive: Some dude made a drive that actually works by friction, but was reported as a closed system reactionless drive.
> Quantum vacuum thruster (QVT): Theoretical system like a plasma thruster, but operating on quantum vacuum fluctuations (aka the zero-point field) instead of a propellant.
> Casimir drive: Hypothetical drive pushing off of the zero-point field.. Basically a QVT's alternate name.
> Resonant cavity thruster: Akin to the EmDrive, supposedly produces net thrust through resonating an electromagnetic wave through a conical cavity. Closed system, impossible.
> VSL drive: A drive that manipulates the speed of light locally to provide faster travel than otherwise possible. (I made this one up.)
> Bimetric gravity drive: Made it up. Basically treating gravity as two metric tensors where the speed of light can become variable (hey whaddaya know, it's related to VSL)
> FSD (Frameshift Drive): The FTL technology of the Elite universe, adjusts reference frames somehow allowing travel at many relativistic speeds.
> Field propulsion drive: A class of drives based on pushing off of fundamental fields (i.e. Higgs field) instead of using propellant. These probably all violate physics.
> Semi-inert drive: Fictional drive that partially eliminates inertia, allowing FTL travel. (Skipping infinite inertia buildup on approach to c, and skipping past the limit of c entirely.)
> Chromodynamic drive: Made-up name for a drive, inspired by quantum chromodynamics, a real field of research / property of quantum mechanics. I don't remember which.
> Belief/Mana/Soul drive: Fictional drive powered by thought, spirituality, or belief in its ability. Pure nonsense in reality, fun for writing perhaps.
> Ion engine: I mean, these are real, but imagine a stupidly efficient overpowered one that isn't actually possible. :P
Abraham–Minkowski controversy

TYPE : article
DONE : false
TAGS : readme, science
NOTE : Make up a theoretical drive based on this. :P
Theories about VSL

TYPE : article
DONE : false
TAGS : readme, science
NOTE : Most likely not at all real, but fun to think about.
