vakuumpropulsion
Vakuumpropulsion, also known as vacuum propulsion or vacuum energy propulsion, refers to theoretical methods of spacecraft propulsion that aim to generate thrust by interacting with or drawing energy from the quantum vacuum. The quantum vacuum is not truly empty but is filled with virtual particles and fluctuating energy fields according to quantum field theory. Proponents suggest that by manipulating these vacuum fluctuations, it might be possible to create a net force on a spacecraft without expelling propellant, a concept that deviates from conventional rocket propulsion which relies on Newton's third law and the expulsion of mass.
Several theoretical concepts fall under the umbrella of vakuumpropulsion. One prominent idea involves the Casimir effect,
However, it is crucial to note that vakuumpropulsion remains largely theoretical and has not been experimentally
