As you know, quantised inertia predicts that a new kind of propulsion can be extracted from charged capacitors. This is essentially the Casimir effect and charging the cathode so that electrons stream across to the anode pushing the whole thing a little bit more than expected. In 2021 (see also my 2024 book) I derived this thrust using dimensional and physical arguments to be...

In March 2025 SpaceX launched a Rogue Space Systems cubesat with an IVO Ltd Quantum (QI) Drive on it. Up till Christmas I was monitoring its trajectory, almost every day and it did seem to push up by about a few metres when it seemed from personal communications that they had turned it on, but analyses like this are very subjective.

This month's great leap forward is that I have written a fortran model to simulate complete QI dynamics for the first time. The great thing about having a fortran model is that you can run experiments with it. I've suspected for a while that these interstellar comets like Oumuamua, Borisov or 3I/Atlas are actually bound to the Solar system, or 3I/Atlas at least. This was base...
