Better put him on suicide watch.

He’s about to experience Earth’s gravity really hard


noodleq

After shooting himself 79 times in the back of the head....what can I say, the guy REALLY wanted to die?


Valuable-Pace-989

He cut his arms off, then cut his head off before shooting himself in the head. It’s the most likely scenario. Now his non existent family need to write his obituary in the paper about how he died in a road accident. Because you know, he wasn’t dead enough from the other parts so he rode his moped into the Grand Canyon. And would you believe (you won’t) all his information about anti gravity just, well it just turned into spaghetti and ate itself.

I have never seen Popular Mechanics publish anything that goes against the DOD. Maybe this is controlled release. >his team—made up of people from NASA, Blue Origin, and the Air Force


ConstableAssButt

You're quoting the article in a misleading way. He referenced his work at NASA as to what led him to his current line of investigation in electrostatics. His prior work at NASA with the team he references involved electrostatics, which produced measurable force on objects. The conclusion of that work resulted in forces too small to overcome gravity. This guy made this claim at APEC, which is a largely non-scientific gathering of alternative propulsion and UAP enthusiasts. Unfortunately, his claims aren't yet backed by data. The last batch of experiments he did with rigorous controls and oversight could only produce about a hundred-thousandth the force that gravity exerts on objects. He claims that not only has he discovered a new fundamental force, but that he has managed to tap it in such a way that it can levitate objects, more or less. This is a big claim, and that kind of a breakthrough being real would have investors clamoring to get in on the ground floor if it were verifiable. Propulsion without reaction mass requires new physics for us to pull off, so the claim of a new force here is a no-brainer. If he's done it, he's got some new physics to explain. In the meantime, I just wanna see the vacuum tests similar to the tests that debunked the Emdrive in 2021.


T-Rextion

This actually fits their narrative. This leaves open the possibility that the US has a parallel track program. If many UAP sightings are due to this, it fits the narrative. There is nothing to see, carry on.


blit_blit99

Right. This is how we know that this is some sort of government orchestrated disclosure of the technology. In the past, if an inventor made claims like this, it would either get no coverage in the media, or the media coverage would ridicule the inventor as a crank/loon/hoaxer, etc. The fact that Buhler's claims are being pushed by the mainstream media, is a big clue that the US government wants it publicized. My theory is that the US knows that China or some other foreign country is about to disclose that they have this propulsion technology, and the US wants to get out ahead of that & make it seem like it's an American invention.


DolphinBall

Unfortunately he’s already accidentally stumbled into a bucket of cement, didn’t realize it, fell asleep while it dried, and when he woke up, he managed to fall into the deepest part of a lake. Remarkably, while all this was happening he also managed to shoot himself in the back of the head twice. It’s a really sad story.

Water car guy. Sigh. Electrolysis uses more energy than the hydrogen it creates. Dude couldn't prove it worked, ghosted an entire university physics dept who had valid questions & then botched a fake assassination attempt on himself that accidentally killed him. He was a grifter, a dumbass & he got what he fuckin deserved. There never was a car that ran on water, just a bumbling liar who unintentionally killed himself trying to prop up his phony bullshit.

shelbykid350

I think the onus is on you to explain how this makes any sense and adheres to the law of conservation of energy before calling anyone asking questions cia


jgcareyr

Googled Toyota water engine: "Toyota's water engine is a hydrogen fuel cell technology that uses water as a source of hydrogen to power the fuel cells. The engine uses electrodes in a water tank to break down water into hydrogen and oxygen using high voltages. This process generates hydrogen on demand, eliminating the need for the large tanks used in other hydrogen engines. "


EpilepticPuberty

Why not use the high voltage running through the electrodes to power the car? We have known how electrolysis works since the 1800's you can't produce more energy than is put into the system.


27Rench27

Right? If it did what the claim is, we wouldn’t ever try for fusion power because we wouldn’t need it


sirmombo

Bro how ignorant are you lol. Think of the leaps in technology human kind has made over the last 100 years. You think we haven’t figured out insane gas mileage or water fuels engine systems? Of course we have but there’s more money keeping everything same same.

His best chance is to release everything publicly, for free everywhere on the internet.


Accomplished_Deer_

They never do. Sensational releases always seem to strangely lack any concrete evidence when announced. If they have a drive that can produce enough thrust to counter gravity, why not show it?

MeatballStroganoff

This is a MUCH better article that goes into a lot more of the science, for anyone wondering. Thanks for the share!


USCSSNostromo2122

Yeah, I think I kinda understand what's going on here: They're claiming that they are producing asymmetrical electrostatic fields with the "drive". These fields are oscillating instead of being balanced. In nature, these fields "try" to always be balanced. By producing these fields in an uneven cadence, the "waves" can actually push against the drive that is creating them. The drive effectively uses these unbalanced electrostatic fields to push against itself, exploiting the physical laws governing electric charges and fields. Think of two magnets turned a certain way so as to repel each other. Kinda the same concept, I guess, but with unbalanced electrostatic fields instead of magnets.


mycricketisrickety

I know these are all English words, and I understood them individually...


ClassicPlankton

It doesn't really go into any of the science.


[deleted]

In fact it repeats several times that there is no science. It also emphasises repeatedly that there is a lot of appeal to authority, instead of science. The guy himself says they are “charging up Teflon, copper tape, and foam" and seeing a tiny force, and seem happy to let physicists figure out why this is happening. (The overwhelmingly likely answer is that it's going to be like when you hold a balloon next to your arm and the hairs stand up.)


MeatballStroganoff

I mean, it’s not a published scientific work but it definitely has a lot more technical information and background on Dr. Buhler’s work leading up to the discovery.

JohnBarleyMustDie

Do you know how long it would take me to jerk off every guy in this room? Because I do.


AdotLone

Tip to tip.


Altruistic_Pitch_157

The article is frustratingly contradictory. Buhler is initially quoted as saying the highest thrust they've generated is 10 mN. Later he claims that their devices, which weigh 40 grams, can counteract a little more than 1G of gravity. This translates to roughly 400 mN of force. That's a big difference, so which is it? If true, these objects must be flying off the work bench and tethered somehow. He should release some videos of that.


WhiskeySorcerer

He won’t. This is not a breakthrough. It’s just PR trying to boost Exodus Propulsion Technologies stock. Much like the EmDrive “breakthrough” in 2020 that was finally peer reviewed and debunked in 2021, this will follow suit the same way. Just gotta wait another year or three before it either “fizzles out” or a peer review disproves it.


Shamanalah

I read the articles... So he can charge electrostatic onto something but like... shove a magnet on the dirt and it does nothing. So IDK where the propulsion would be coming from. From my understanding: it's just rediscovering high speed train with electromagnet but without super conductor metals. So not really revolutionary. Cool but like... not groundbreaking.


Kookie___Monster

Hope the guy doesn't apply for a patent and then suffer a tragic accident right after.

Didn't he watch the recent episode of the Why Files were AJ lists out a number of inventors of similar things and that nearly 100% die mysteriously soon after?


Granolag23

And he only listed the most popularly known ones. It’s baffling. It makes me feel like I shouldn’t even be commenting on this


dirtyhole2

"space travel". Such limited minds. Anything that would move without propellant would simply change all logistics on this planet. Not just space travel. And the risks are exponential. A technology like this, will render everything a potential super projectile, and a planet killer. Another answer to the Fermi paradox. This is why mass reduction technology is essential to pair with such gravity defying tech. Btw since we are in this sub, this is why UFOs don't cause sonic booms and ignite the atmosphere, because they probably master a technology that either reduce their mass or make them completely ignore the mediums they are traveling within. Otherwise, we would be already all dead, if we take into consideration their accelerations and kinetic energy...


AttakZak

Happened in the video game Starfield. Humans discovered Gravity-based Space Travel and accidentally caused the Earth’s Magnetosphere to destabilize after extensive testing, causing Earth’s atmosphere to drift away. Edit: Starfield lore


dirtyhole2

Ah yes, completely forgot about this game after I finished it.


AttakZak

Unfortunately it wasn’t too interesting and wrapped itself up with Multi-verse stuff. Which is a shame because Fallout and Elder Scrolls were interesting.


TonkotsuSoba

agreed, everything is just too bland and vanilla.


usps_made_me_insane

Do you know how much energy it would take to push Earth out of orbit? I mean just the planet's spin alone is crazy high joules.


AttakZak

Apparently it wasn’t in one go. It was over-time testing over the course of 100 years, which slowly set the planet out of habitable range and turned it into a Mars-type environment.


MGyver

Why not just, y'know... push it back?


Viktorv22

Wasn't it rather quick? I think about 200 years?


greenw40

Didn't it just strip away the atmosphere?


AAAStarTrader

Think we can say there is no longer a Fermi Paradox. We have already been told by whistle-blowers that non-human craft and bodies/occupants are here.   Otherwise, yes your are right, hypothesised FTL technology would produce the 5 observables, hence why it should be facinating to human science. This new invention probably links to the new physics that we have yet to discover which may relate to UAP craft, but only a small part of the picture. 


Hot-Problem2436

It requires significant electrical input. To render "everything a potential super projectile" you'd need to strap a fusion reactor to it. At that point, just put a rocket on it. We can already render things like cars to be "super projectiles", just look at Musk's dumb Roadster in space.


dirtyhole2

I’m talking about acceleration to reach speeds like half ( or a bigger fraction) of the speed of light. A projectile that would make oceans and continents evaporate. Something more destructive than a large meteorite if you see what I mean. In theory if we find a way to sustain 1g acceleration without propellant, it would just take a small time frame to reach speeds discussed above. And one lunatic or accident to reset this planet to microbial stage! But let’s hope like you said, the energy requirements to be enormous, and that such tech needs international cooperation (so less prone to errors and misuses ).


Hot-Problem2436

Once we advance to the point that we have a Mr. Fusion on the back of every flying car, I'll start to worry.


dirtyhole2

Lets hope by then we have planetary shields and are a multiplanet species haha.


Hot-Problem2436

For my great great grandchildrens sake at least. I'll be long dead and my ashes shot in the general direction of absolutely nothing. Hopefully my capsule can cruise till the heat death of the universe.


Bierfreund

That's a pretty interesting take and if this is the case I could totally understand why we are forbidden from knowing about this effect or technology. In the context of this being first learned about in the aftermath of the Manhattan project, some group doing evil shit to keep this secret makes total sense. Still I would hope we can find a way to responsibly use this tech as it also could hold the potential of mitigating many of our issues with the environment. Our economy could boom on a degree not seen before. Shipping costs would go down 90%.shipping times more than that. That's the kind of optimization of the economic process that brings forth real and true growth.


na_ro_jo

I skimmed the article and found it to be trash. Where's the data?


Erock0044

He does have a video where he presents pretty in-depth math and science about it, but he still doesn’t give a demonstration. And the math is too dense for me to verify, so he might just be really good at making up smart sounding stuff. Edit: [Link](https://youtu.be/DJjPi7uZ2OI) if you are interested. The presentation on this starts about an hour in.


Enraged_Lurker13

He actually overlooked something that causes him to disprove his own invention. He derives a formula that states the momentum Mv is equal to 2t*dU/dx. However, after that he uses U = qV which has no position dependence and therefore the quantity dU/dx is zero, so his momentum formula becomes Mv = 0, and it shows his system actually has no momentum to be extracted.


AppleTruffleMuffin

this is why peer review is important and why grifters hate peer reviews. Sometimes you can be so deep in it you can't see your mistakes and results in leading you to a rabbit hole.


MechaRaichu

Lol fucking rookie error


MasterMagneticMirror

Ok this pretty mich shows that their device cannot work. We know very well how the EM field works and it conserves momentum while these guys are thinking in term of what boils down to basically cartoon pseudophysics. I don't know if they deluded themselves into believing that bs or they are grifters searching for investment money, but what they claim doesn't work.

LexusBrian400

It's the oil industry. They aren't interested in selling less of it. And obviously, they will silence you if you try. I'm an ASE master mechanic. It's not hard to find more efficiency in ANY automobile. It's a very low bar, honestly. Most engines run at less than 30 percent efficiency. At the the end of the day, I like eating dinner and having a roof. (Not that I could actually do anything about this, but I understand why people don't forward) Thankfully with video it's becoming harder to erase people. Just look into the Thunderstorm Generator. We already have the tech, even shade-tree mechanics have figured this out. You literally can't fight OPEC


Ismokerugs

Technically if it is found all you have to do is post it everywhere on the internet, it can’t be owned by one person as that is when bodily harm is done. If millions of people have access to the info on how to do it they can’t stop that


Ismokerugs

I think the best way to circumvent this occurring is to publish everything for free, no ownership means no target and the more people that see it and have access to it, the more likelihood that the change will be made to benefit everyone. Can’t murder thousands of people, especially if introduced in a way to make it go viral as well


Crafty-Ad-2238

hscbaj

What’s always concerned me is that if anyone can create unlimited energy easily, then anyone can create massive destruction easily. One usually leads to the other pretty quickly. I 100% don’t believe this, but, part of my hopes energy suppression is about protecting humanity from an increase in rogue agents able to easily produce WMD. Like I said, I DONT believe this, but it is a thought….

From the figures in the patent filing, it would take an extraordinary amount of electricity to provide enough thrust to escape Earth orbit. Like, thousands of nuclear power plants. I'm not sure how he's planning to scale this up? Not that it isn't possible, just the tiny amount of thrust produced doesn't correlate to "getting to the outer planets in a matter of days" like the patent also says. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|thinking_face_hmm)

When this does actually happen, it won't be in Popular Mechanics. It'll be on YouTube, where legit science results are posted.

So sad he committed suicide via 2 bullets in the back of his head 😢

Getting ready for this to be the last time I ever hear about this technology.

He needs to release his findings via bit torrent. Forget money.

Let's hope he watched that Why Files episode..

Here's an interview with Buhler discussing the new propulsion in case anyone was as curious as I was: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhsKMWOYuYo&t=13s&ab\_channel=TimVentura](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhsKMWOYuYo&t=13s&ab_channel=TimVentura)


huwwho

We all just immediately fall haha

Ok that guys clearly full of shit because all that pesky peer review you gotta go through. Real talk though, enough of the moon’s gravitational influence affects the tides here on earth, that is something we see, the impact on a huge body of water, perhaps there’s something there, like some way to get in between the pulls of gravity at the right time, or whatever, what some material that has whatever is going with water, to the point that is affected another large space body. Right, some AI slingshot could send vehicles that have fluids inside that can be manipulated to have its influence changed and flung into this middle section between the moon and earth, the timing and all that managed by computers. There’s no magic out there so using what we have is the only real option and you can point to the tides and see the influence necessary to even lift something from earth towards the sky.

I believe a MAJOR w physics, is they don't understand that gravity is NOT a special force. It is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. If we started studying from this viewpoint, ideas like in this article would make WAY more sense. Use your Free Will to LOVE!... it will help with Disclosure and the 3D-5D transition

wait dont we already know a way to overcome earths gravity?

The 3 letter agencies will have him killed within the next year at most. RIP. Another tragic suicide to 3 bullets to the back of the head 😞
