Machs Effect interstellar propellentless propulsion
mission proposal at NASA NIAC:
"Finally Mach Effect propulsion had gotten useful levels of funding and will get a
validation test with NASA. They reported interim results and have made good progress.
Nextbigfuture covered the announcement of funding by NASA NIAC for mach effect
propulsion in April 2017.
They now have presented the new experiments and path forward with the needed
materials to clearly prove significant propulsion and unambiguous space experiments.
They have advanced the experimental work and will get test state-of-the-art PIN-
PMN-PT materials.
They have demonstrated a Force versus Voltage scaling relationship that is consistent
with the theory."
