A FORMER NASA ENGINEER SAYS THIS COULD CREATE THRUST WITHOUT PROPELLANT. 🚀⚡ On a newly released episode of the Danny Jones Podcast, Charles Buhler and Andrew Aurigema of Exodus Propulsion Technologies break down their work involving electrostatic fields and claimed non-propellant thrust. Buhler simplifies the idea using an analogy: imagine particles as people throwing bowling balls back and forth. Normally, the forces balance out and the entire system goes nowhere. But he describes higher-order interactions where that exchange becomes asymmetric—potentially producing a net force on the system. It’s a fascinating claim, but one that ultimately lives or dies on independent experimental verification. If this effect holds up under replication, how big of a deal could it be? 👇Former NASA engineer Charles Buhler and Andrew Aurigema of Exodus Propulsion Technologies join Danny Jones to discuss their controversial research into electrostatic propulsion and claimed thrust without conventional propellant. 🚀⚡ In this clip, Buhler attempts to make the physics understandable to almost anyone—using ice skaters, imaginary strings and bowling balls to explain particles, lines of force and virtual photons. The central idea: conventional interactions balance momentum across the system, but Buhler argues that more complex higher-order interactions could potentially create an asymmetry capable of generating net force. If independently replicated, research like this could raise major questions about what forms of propulsion are physically possible. 📲 Send this to someone who follows advanced propulsion, aerospace engineering, UFO/UAP technology or frontier physics.#CharlesBuhler #AndrewAurigema #DannyJonesPodcast #ExodusPropulsion #PropellantlessPropulsion

we have literally the Star Trek impulse engine. - Okay, so can you break this down for like a third grader? What is electrostatic propulsion and how does it work? - So basically what happens is every particle interacts with another particle in the universe in quantum lecture dynamics through an exchange of a virtual photon. Just consider like I was telling him on the way over here like a string. So if I had to explain this to a third grader, every particle is attached to another particle with a string. It can pull in tension or it can release in compression, either way, whether it's attractive or repulsive. - Right. - We can't see these, but we know they exist in nature and when they come out, they fall out of math and it's very well known to science. And they have a lot of effects on their own. The strings do these imaginary strings, these lines of force we call them. We can't isolate them as real particles. We can't hold them in our hand and look at them under a microscope, but they're there mathematically. - Right. - They are attached to the charge, so we can't decouple them from the charge. You cannot have one or the other, you have the charge with the field or you have the field with the charge. You can't decouple them. - Okay. - So that's basically why you can't see this virtual photon. Mathematically, it's a photon, which is a light particle. A light particle is a real particle, you can hold and see and isolate. - Right. - But there are three virtual photons in math, in one real one. One of the three virtual photons could be responsible for our force, for our force. So what happens in the higher order terms is these other virtual photons exist, and they give the momentum exchange with the particles without the recoil. That's what the math says. That's what falls out. So usually in second order, what happens is one particle is coming along. It releases this photon, so it recoils. And the second photon catches it and it recoils. So it's like two ice skaters exchanging a bowling ball on an ice skating rink. - Right. - The overall system from a thousand-foot view means momentum is conserved. Basically, what I started with is what I end with, because I've exchanged a bowling ball. I recoil, you caught the bowling ball, you recoil. So there's no net translation of those two charges in space. That's basically cool ohms law. So that's why plus particles and minus particles attract, or they repel, but the whole system doesn't move as a whole. In the third order, someone gives a second bowling ball. They throw that first one to the other person, then they throw the second one somewhere else, and they don't catch the second one. So if they don't catch it and you're tethered together, you're going to move as a whole. Or if the second person has a bowling ball, a second bowling ball, and they throw it, they're going to go somewhere else and take you with them, you name them. - What does NASA think about you guys doing this stuff? - Start with a one, isn't it a one? - That was it. - Oh, I don't want to work for NASA. - I mean, I think they like it. We just-- - They think you guys are coupes, or are you guys-- - I don't know if there's any official word from NASA on this. - We have to be sure. - We have to be sure to do them several times. - What was the reaction? - Go away and don't bother us.
