Spacecraft Propulsion Device Invented By Egyptian Student .... Waking Memories From The Past

Aisha Mustafa is a 19-year-old Egyptian university student of physics who can transform space travel once and for all!

She has namely invented an ingenious spacecraft propulsion device that can send mankind boldly where no man has gone before.

Her amazing propulsion device has potential to send spacecraft to other solar systems without using a single drop of fuel. Instead, the device utilizes the best quantum physics and chemical reactions in artificial satellites have to offer.

In other words, forget current radioactive-based jets and ordinary rocket engines! What Mustafa offers is future space technology that is badly needed if we truly want to explore space!

Mustafa’s engine idea is based on quantum facts that there’s no such thing as a vacuum, devoid of particles, waves, and energy. Instead the Universe’s supposedly empty spaces are filled with a roiling sea of particles and anti-particles that pop into existence, then annihilate each other in such a short space of time that you can’t readily detect them.

Mustafa said that this quantum effect can be harnessed via the dynamic Casimir effect.

This utilizes a “moving mirror” cavity, where two reflective flat plates are held close together and then manipulated in order to interact with the quantum particles.

By moving the plates (which are made of silicon), energy is created out of nothing and a net force is created which would be used to push, pull or propel a spacecraft.

Mustafa also says energy should be used like solar power because it is much more efficient than rocket fuel that is currently used to power spacecrafts.

Rockets like Dragon X for example are difficult to control due to the energetic thrusters, and even NASA’s futuristic proposals such as ion drives still need power. Even Star Trek’s USS Enterprise needs dilithium crystals.

The potential of Mustafa’s propulsion system is enormous because of its mechanical simplicity and reliability it could make satellite propulsion lighter, cheaper, and thus indirectly lower the cost of space missions of all sorts.

This is just what the space industry needs, but where is the money?

Mustafa who studies at the Sohag University has patented her propulsion system in the Egyptian Academy of Scientific Research and Technology – ASRT, but she is worried that there’s no funding for a department of space science and this prevents important research being carried out in strife-ridden Egypt.

On his behalf, the President of Sohag University, Dr. Nabil Nour Eldin Abdellah, said that the university facilitates what he called “Science Clubs” for intelligent and creative students who have the will and capabilities to come up with innovative scientific ideas.

“Once we knew about her (Mustafa’s) invention, we encouraged her and provided her with the budget needed through the Science Club for innovative students in the university. This is the case with any other creative student,” Abdellah explained.

Mustafa nowadays aims at testing her invention at major scientific research organisations, hence the possibility of applying it in upcoming space missions.

In the next coming decades, space travel would be easier, safer, faster and cheaper, thanks to the mind of an intelligent Egyptian girl.
