And yet another concept by NASA is intro’d in this video:
Here is some brief theory behind Aneutronic Fusion, a form of nuclear fusion which produces no harmful neutron radiation, eliminating the need for heavy shielding in energy plants and spacecraft engines. The reaction can be initiated under a picosecond laser pulse which is aimed at a metal target producing protons which can fuse with Boron atoms in the molecular lattice of the fuel substance. The alpha particles generated from this reaction can be converted directly to an electrical current using alpha voltaics. Due to the reaction being initiated by the laser beam, all radiation emitted stops as soon as the laser is switched off allowing for the highest level of control for a nuclear reaction.
We hope you enjoy and check back for further updates from NASA.
Amazing engine segment, perhaps the full thing is built full circle
This is actually ancient technology that has been trickled down to mankind to help give space travel a boost. The next century will bring many new advances in technology and space travel will be as easy as taking a plane somewhere. Technology can be a very dangerous endeavor, that’s why it is trickled down rather than given as a whole, mankind is still in its infant stage compared to others. On day mankind will have access to propulsion technology that will allow galaxy travel, traveling to different galaxies will be very easy. One such propulsion system is the neutron drive, imagine harnessing the power of a super nova and using that to propel a craft through space at incomprehensible speeds. Not only that but being able to form a black hole and using it to travel through time itself.
1. How much weed are you on? 2. How strong is that tinfoil hat around you?
Brandon Flint like I said, humanity is still in its infancy, your not expected to understand. It would be like handing a newborn baby Albert Einsteins equations and asking it to decipher them all, it would be impossible.

Pretty sweet but still ” primative” i feel like magnetics is the purpulsion of the future..
CHECK THESE ENGINES OUT! AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM. YEAH I KNOW THERE ARE DIVERSE SCIENTIST INVOLVED BUT I BET THEY LIVE IN AMERICA NOW, OR ISRAEL.

Makes me wonder how people are shocked, literally and not literally
Mortal combat
How bout something new. Seen this come across the feed 40 million times xD
If light is pure energy then that’s a whole lot of wasted energy…
Todd Huhn
absolutely could not agree more
anyone else like this as much as me
