IVO Tests Adding the Thrust From Multiple Quantum Drives

by

Barry-1 has 2 Quantum Drives: QD1 (Blue Arrow, internal) & QD1-TC (Green Arrow). Both are designed to produce thrust in the same direction (Red Arrow). QD1-TC is expected to produce about 2x the thrust of QD-1. CEO Richard Mansell said it has two drives a 0.25mN and a 0.65mN drive.

The DARPA funding (2018-2022 Quantized Inertia investigation) $1.3 million was for the researcher Mike McCulloch. But none of the DARPA funding has been or is yet for IVO. IVO is all privately funded. No VC or DARPA funds. The $17 Million DARPA Otter which appears intended for this type of work, but nothing has been allocated to my knowledge and definitely no DARPA funds have gone to IVO.

If they are fully successful, they will see both at once and see 3x thrust of QD-1. This would prove scaling via multiple devices. The devices are lightweight. If they have additive thrust, it will barely matter that the thrust is tiny. It means that arrays of thousands or millions of devices can be created. The devices might be one millinewton or less but then a million devices achieves constant one thousand newton thrust. The operation for a decade of multiple drives mean this would scale to full up interstellar drives. The best lab result is one watt for 52 millinewtons. The devices flown to orbit have far less thrust and each has different thrust so that it is clear whether zero, one or two devices are working.

If successful, they will probably reveal the basic design. Like most technology companies, it is important to protect the proprietary designs.

  1. The problem is, if QI is correct these devices shouldn’t work. They rely on light having mass that accelerates, and light has neither mass nor acceleration. I don’t understand why the creator used a laser instead of an electronic beam, his own theory dictates that it could only work that way. Very odd.

  2. It’s been 42 years since I took Quantum Mechanics in grad school so I’ve forgotten much of it. Can anyone point to a good laymen’s explanation of this quantized inertia?

    • I would suggest using chatgpt or the other new AI tools. Google Bard etc… in combination with the youtube videos on Quantized inertia. The theoretical discussions for quantized inertia in regards to propulsion mainly lead back to Mike McCulloch. The TED talk and other interviews I already linked.

      Most scientists and tutorials will say Quantized Inertia does not work, they will say Dark Matter is it. You can tell ChatGPT to pretend to be physicist trying to debate the evidence pro and con for Dark Matter and Quantized Inertia and what it would take to make things more conclusive. But again the source material will be dominated by Dark Matter theories.

  3. “The devices might be one millinewton or less but then a million devices achieves constant one thousand newton thrust.”

    But what is the mass of each device, including the power supply?

    Supposing you get a millinewton for a kg of device plus power supply plus payload, that is an acceleration of 1 mm/s^2. This is good for getting around the solar system on a time scale of months to a most a few years for the far outer solar system. Just not the fantasy drive that moves you at the speed of plot.

    OTOH a millinewton for much more total mass really limits the usefulness of such a device.

    • “OTOH a millinewton for much more total mass really limits the usefulness of such a device.”

      A low thrust reactionless drive would be revolutionary and useful enough to take humanity to the stars. So useful in fact it would solve our energy problems since it is an over unity device.

  5. I wonder if both drives are of slightly different designs or the same designs but they are unable to achieve consistency in manufacturing or because of some knowledge gaps.
