North Dakota-based firm IVO Ltd., a leading developer of wireless power technologies, will send an all-electric propulsion system for satellites to space for the first time in June.
The system, called the IVO Quantum Drive, will launch atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket as part of the rideshare mission Transporter 8. The company hopes to perform a successful demonstration of the satellite propulsion system in low Earth orbit , with a view to commercializing the technology.Since it was founded in 2017, IVO has been developing a wireless energy transmission technology called Capacitive Based Aerial Transmission . CBAT's wireless transmission technology allows operators to reduce their battery sizes by 50 percent, enabling a whole host of new innovations.
In an effort to tackle the space industry's massive carbon footprint, IVO also set out to build a pure electric thrust system for spacecraft. Their efforts led to the IVO Quantum Drive, which the company claims is the "world’s first commercially viable and available pure electric propulsion technology to achieve legitimacy via thermal vacuum testing."
The technology is much more efficient than conventional rocket systems, according to IVO. The company claims the IVO Quantum Drive can achieve up to 52 millinewtons of thrust from a single watt of electricity. The energy, meanwhile, will be supplied via a mixture of onboard power storage and solar power.
Alternatively, an ambient photon pump using solar-type power. 😃 It uses the very medium it's going through as a source of almost limitless 'thrust'.🤔 So no one can cry about conservation of momentum. Period.🧐🙄😭 antigravity InertialMassReduction
We were involved in DARPA project on the quantised inertia (QI) at Plymouth University (UK) and know this 'kitchen' from inside. You should not take these news seriously... There is only one experimental paper on QI published by a Dresden group that refutes the QI thrust.
A future unfolding.
