Dr. Charles Buhler, a seasoned NASA engineer and co-founder of Exodus Propulsion Technologies, claims his company’s propellantless propulsion drive defies the laws of physics.

The NASA veteran states the propulsion drive is capable of generating enough thrust to counteract Earth’s gravity without expelling mass.

It’s a bold claim, and this may end up being filed alongside similar controversial concepts like the propellant-free EmDrive.

However, Buhler’s history as NASA’s subject matter expert on electrostatics has forced people to take note.

New claims of propellant-free space travel
Buhler and his team set out to explore propellantless propulsion concepts more than two decades ago. Their propulsion drive is based on a novel approach that takes advantage of asymmetry in electrostatic pressure to propel the drive forward.
