The latest entrant to the space race is... Egypt!19-year-old student invents futuristic 'warp drive' for satellites

  • Two mirrors used to generate power using weird quantum physics
  • Leapfrogs Nasa research into same subject
  • 19-year-old Egyptian hopes to test her invention on future space missions

A 19-year-old Egyptian university student called Aisha Mustafa has invented a futuristic propulsion system for spacecraft.

The invention 'leapfrogs' Nasa research, and uses a hi-tech quantum effect to drive satellites through space, rather than ordinary rocket engines.

Mustafa's invention generates energy using the Casimir-Polder force, an obscure quantum effect using two surfaces and objects in a vacuum.

The force is described as an 'invisible rubber band' between bulky objects and atoms that arises from the ever-present random fluctuation of microscopic electric fields in empty space. 

The fluctuations get stronger near a surface, and an isolated neutral atom nearby feels the force as a 'pull'. 

Mustafa's drive isn't exactly Warp Factor Ten material, but it provides enough energy for satellites to maneouvre gracefully through space.
 
    Instead of using nuclear reactors or jets, Mustafa's satellites could generate drive using the panels. 

    Nasa had researched a similar idea using the Casimir-Polder force - with the idea of generating it around a 'sail' floating in space.

    She has patented her invention Egyptian Academy of scientific Research and Technology (ASRT).
    The 19-year-old says she aims to test her invention in future space missions.

    WARNING FROM RAEL: For those who don't use their intelligence at its
    full capacity, the label "selected by RAEL" on some articles does not
    mean that I agree with their content or support it. "Selected by RAEL"
    means that I believe it is important for the people of this planet to
    know about what people think or do, even when what they think or do is
    completely stupid and against our philosophy. When I selected articles
    in the past about stupid Christian fundamentalists in America praying
    for rain, I am sure no Rael-Science reader was stupid enough to believe
    that I was supporting praying to change the weather. So, when I select
    articles which are in favor of drugs, anti-Semitic, anti-Jewish, racist,
    revisionist, or inciting hatred against any group or religion, or any
    other stupid article, it does not mean that I support them. It just
    means that it is important for all human beings to know about them.
    Common sense, which is usually very good among our readers, is good
    enough to understand that. When, like in the recent articles on drug
    decriminalization, it is necessary to make it clearer, I add a comment,
    which in this case was very clear: I support decriminalizing all drugs,
    as it is stupid to throw depressed and sad people (as only depressed and
    sad people use drugs) in prison and ruin their life with a criminal
    record. That does not mean that there is any change to the Message which
    says clearly that we must not use any drug except for medical purposes.
    The same applies to the freedom of expression which must be absolute.
    That does not mean again of course that I agree with anti-Jews,
    anti-Semites, racists of any kind or anti-Raelians. But by knowing your
    enemies or the enemies of your values, you are better equipped to fight
    them. With love and respect of course, and with the wonderful sentence
    of the French philosopher Voltaire in mind: "I disapprove of what you
    say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it".

    "Ethics" is simply a last-gasp attempt by deist conservatives and
    orthodox dogmatics to keep humanity in ignorance and obscurantism,
    through the well tried fermentation of fear, the fear of science and
    new technologies.
     
    There is nothing glorious about what our ancestors call history, 
    it is simply a succession of mistakes, intolerances and violations.
     
    On the contrary, let us embrace Science and the new technologies
    unfettered, for it is these which will liberate mankind from the
    myth of god, and free us from our age old fears, from disease,
    death and the sweat of labour.
