Comment on Reactionless Propulsion Achieved at Greater Than 100 Pounds of Lift

Comments

Brilliant Light Power have long been the target of skeptics that do not believe their claims of a classical physics breakthrough. Might this demonstration of concrete blocks being lifted by the microwave power of a common microwave oven be the tipping point in taking the company seriously?

Extremely unconvinced. It's a microwave with some things stacked on top of it in a wobbly way, maybe unbalanced/loose at its base too.

Now imagine if I just lit up some smaller firecrackers in that thing, with cloosed door.

The crackers go bang, making it vibrate/shake. Things stacked on top shake too.

Verdammte Pappnasen!

Listen to a 55 minute podcast that deep dives into the details - however I don't think they explicitly refute your suggested explanation: https://youtu.be/QGL8BJYfBAg?si=SnzyK_pPOj_Yo2bX
