Which means another attempt to give legitimacy to "theories" that violate the fundamental laws of physics.
On March 11, 2019, the newspaper "Military-Industrial Courier" under the heading "Antigravity Found a Job" publishes a report on a roundtable discussion led by political scientist Igor Mashkov. One could chuckle and move on to other materials, but the composition of the participants in this event turned out to be remarkable.
Non-reactive way
So, the meeting of the above-mentioned round table was attended by the former Minister of General Machine Building of the USSR Oleg Baklanov (the ministry was engaged in cosmonautics during the Soviet era);
- Doctor of Technical Sciences Georgy Kostin (former director of the Voronezh Mechanical Plant, production of rocket engines);
- Alexander Kubasov, honored test of space technology at RSC Energia;
- Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Dmitry Strebkov (Director of the All-Russian Research Institute for the Electrification of Agriculture);
Promotional video:
- Former Chief of Armaments of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Colonel-General Anatoly Sitnov;
- Member of the Expert Council of the State Duma Defense Committee, Lieutenant General Mikhail Sautin;
- the inventor of the quantum engine Vladimir Leonov with an assistant.
With the help of a certain magnet, people are "sorted" according to their mental abilities: geniuses are attracted by their heads to the center of the Earth ("absolute gravity"); frivolous, empty-headed persons soar up to the suspended magnet (anti-gravity).

There was no discussion. At the round table, they reported on "a revolutionary achievement in space propulsion" - tests of a "quantum engine" that is at least 100 times more economical than conventional liquid-propellant rocket engines (liquid-propellant rocket engines). As it was said, "we are talking about a non-reactive method of creating a thrust force, antigravity, quantum gravity …".
As the Soviet writer Leonid Solovyov noted in the second book of the dilogy about Khoja Nasreddin, The Enchanted Prince, "who could resist such a combination - magic grass, magic stones and magic water?"
The roundtable participants spoke about testing a device that violates the law of conservation of momentum. Everyone remembers the law of conservation of energy and does not enter into conversations with the inventors of perpetual motion machines, fearing internally: "Will he start biting?" With the law of conservation of momentum, which has the same fundamental significance, it is somewhat more complicated, it is not so well known, and even among smart people the thought may flash: “What if? It happened that physicists were wrong."
Not. As far as fundamental laws are concerned, there have never been and never will be. Fundamental laws are universal, they operate always and everywhere. All the accumulated experience confirms their inviolability, all the created technology is explicitly or not explicitly based on the fundamental laws of physics.
There is also a general approach that confirms the inviolability of fundamental laws - the anthropic principle.
The anthropic principle explains why, in the observable Universe, the relationships between fundamental constants determine the existence of intelligent life: "We see the Universe this way, because only in such a Universe could an observer arise." If the fundamental constants differed from their observed values by only a small amount, intelligent life could not arise.
It is already good that violations of the law of conservation of momentum and the principle of equivalence of the forces of gravity and inertia "exist" only in the heads of the testers, otherwise the universe would have had a hard time.
Case number forty-two
Let us return from the global questions of the universe to a specific quantum engine. At the round table, Igor Mashkov asks the key question: "What is the principle of operation of a quantum engine?"
Vladimir Leonov: "A fundamental theory of superunification has been created, on the basis of which the principle of operation of a quantum engine is based … A quantum engine is repelled from the global CMEA field due to deformation in the desired direction (Einstein's curvature) of the quantized space-time, creating an artificial force of gravity (thrust)."
Impressive. But this has already been described in the literature. The famous story of the brothers Arkady and Boris Strugatsky "The Tale of the Troika" (1968), case number forty-two: "Highest achievements of neutron megaloplasm! He announced. - The rotor of the field, like a divergence, graduates itself along the back and there, inside, turns the matter of the question into spiritual electric vortices, from which the synecdoche of response arises.
What do we know about the fundamental theory of superunification?
The author of the theory is the inventor of the quantum engine. The foundations of the theory are laid out in a very thick book published in the UK in 2010 at the expense of the author. The essence of the theory is simple. According to the author, “the theory of Superunification is based on my discovery in 1996 of a quantum of space-time (quanton). Quanton is the zero missing element in the periodic table (vacuum atom Newtonium), without the participation of which the rest of the elements cannot be formed."
Kwanton and the fifth force have an important quality - they can be used to explain any existing and non-existent phenomenon. For gourmets, add mathematical expressions and scientific terminology to taste, stir well, but do not shake.
According to the author, the size of the quantum is ten orders of magnitude smaller than the atomic nucleus. The diameter of the uranium atom nucleus is 10-14 m, which gives the quantum size of 10-24 m. (In the mentioned very thick book it is indicated more precisely - 0.74 x 10-25 m.) But the minimum size of the regions available for experimental study is 10 –17 m. Therefore, no one can find / study the quanton.
Thus, we have Russell's Teapot in its pure, unclouded form. Bertrand Russell wrote in 1952: “If I began to assert that a porcelain teapot rotates between the Earth and Mars around the Sun in an elliptical orbit, no one could refute my statement, if I had prudently added that the teapot is too small to detect it even with using the most powerful telescopes”.
Demon of the protocol
And what exactly was observed during the tests of the "quantum engine"?
Oleg Baklanov: “We were interested in the specific traction force developed by the prototype KVD (quantum engine. -“NG-science”), and we reliably determined it - 115 N / kW. This is 165 times higher than that of the best LPRE samples”. If you look at the numerous technical descriptions of liquid-propellant rocket engines, you will not find such a parameter - “specific thrust force”. It is simply not needed, although it is easy to calculate, knowing the main characteristics of the rocket engine - thrust and specific impulse.
We look at the "Protocol of the results of measurements of the specific thrust of an antigravitational quantum engine without ejection of reactive mass", published on the website of the author of the invention.
I had to write a lot of test reports, sign a lot, just read a lot. But this is the first time I come across such a test. This is a holiday!
From the protocol you can learn that:
- the ancestors of the inventor - the Trubchevsky-Trubetskoy princes, who defended the western borders of our beloved Russia for a thousand years;
- the Kvanton group of companies has both theoretical and experimental achievements in the field of new space technologies, which are not available to Roscosmos, the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) and even NASA;
- the space platform "Quadrocopter" with a launch weight of 380 tons has advantages over ballistic missiles with LPRE …
And much more, no less interesting. But one cannot find out the thrust of a quantum engine and the time of operation with this thrust.
To illustrate the 115 N / kW parameter obtained during the tests of a quantum engine, I will describe my own experiment, during which I managed to obtain 2500 ± 500 N / kW, and without the consumption of electricity. I used the water intake device of the well system. The depth is about 4 m, the gate, the chain and the bucket are ordinary. Many have seen this design, I suppose. I picked up a bucket of water, lifted it, and then released the lever. The processes developed very quickly, which forced me to jump sharply to the side. The gate not only rotated around the axis, but also began to jump in the support nests, from which it flew out after 2-3 seconds.
Then I had not yet reached the study of physics, I had just finished elementary school, but now it is easy to carry out the necessary calculations. The energy of the lifted bucket of water (mgh) is 400 joules. The time for the bucket to fall is approximately 4 seconds, which gives a power of 0.1 kW. The force lifted the gate from one side, which means at least half the weight of the gate, according to estimates - 250 N. We get 2500 N / kW, 20 times more than that of the tested quantum engine and, accordingly, 2 thousand times higher than that of the best samples Rocket engine.
After reading the Protocol carefully, without being distracted by the Trubchevsky-Trubetskoy princes, one can easily guess that under the covers that cover the structure of the quantum engine from too much prying eyes, there is an electric motor with an eccentric fixed on the axis and some kind of dampers. When such a device is started, impulses of force occur that are perpendicular to the axis of the motor.
It is these forces that engineers have been fighting since the first steam engines that a respected public commission of specialists has observed and tried to measure.
Ten experts, many of whom must have been involved in testing in the past, signed this wildest 33-page protocol without noticing that these are common, well-known phenomena. Not realizing that the impulse of force cannot be interpreted as thrust, that a conventional dynamometer is fundamentally not suitable for measuring impulse values of the force (you cannot read the readings if the arrow is jumping).
It can be assumed that they were affected by the speech made by the inventor. I did not hear her, but I strongly suspect that it was an analogue of Khoja Nasreddin's speech: “The beast called a cat! - shouted Nasreddin, blushing and squatting from the strain. - Caged! It has four legs! Four paws with sharp claws like needles!.. He has yellow eyes, burning in the dark, like hot coals!.. Located in a cage, in a strong, reliable cage! Everyone can contemplate it for two pennies without any danger to themselves! In a strong, reliable cage! A beast called a cat!"
But Nasreddin honestly called the cat a cat, and not “the Newtonian vacuum atom”.
