Re: Neutrino Propulsion Systems - Superconductors have a use afterall.

Type 2 superconductors produce a field in opposition to an applied field. A neutrino, being an applied field decellerates across the supercunducting antimagnetic boundary and is captured within the confines of a bottle. Propulsion is achieved by 'pulling the cork from the bottle'. I came up with it in 1996. Zero interest by sqirmy intelectuals though. Considering you cant calculate the dv because neutrino has no mass, and no one can tell me how to calculate dv based on one field being repelled by a mass generating a mirror field. I'd post the pic i drew but that process is beyond my frustrated ego.

Re: Neutrino Propulsion Systems - Superconductors have a use afterall.

considering that the neutrino is a carrier field for magnetic energy, I would point out that it's use in enhanced nuclear fusion drives will be at a premium. If you saturate  basic elements with neutrinos, fusion is aided by an intense applied magnetic field as well as compression.

Re: Neutrino Propulsion Systems - Superconductors have a use afterall.

Interesting idea. Since the details are a long way off perhaps a primordial black whole drive is a more near time concept. 100 % conversion of matter into energy.

Ummmmmm no... another "out there" idea.

It's not that far off. Nasa put primitive version I sugested to an italian university in orbit only to have it pull free of the shuttles robotic arm.

Uhhhhhhh no they didn't. That is not true.

Re: Neutrino Propulsion Systems - Superconductors have a use afterall.

yes it is. It was designed to generate electricity. looked like big tin cylinder with sphere on end. Metal windings down length. Happened back in 1999? Based on basic conceptual drawing i sent to various agencies and universities at the time.
I've moved on to other usesfor the technology since then.
