The discussion centers on the functionality of an unspecified engine, with participants questioning its energy input and whether it operates as a gasoline engine or electric motor. There is confusion regarding the term "lift," with one user suggesting it may refer to a reactionless drive, which is against the laws of physics. The topic of lift in the context of spacecraft is deemed forbidden, leading to the closure of the thread. Participants are encouraged to clarify their questions via private messages for potential reopening. The conversation highlights the complexities and restrictions surrounding discussions of unconventional propulsion systems.

Looks to me like a reactionless drive. Forbidden by the laws of physics. And discussion here is forbidden as well.

If you mean lift as in spacecraft , then @jbriggs4russ correct. That is a forbidden topic on PF, so thread closed.

If you mean something else, send me a PM message, and I may reopen it.

Thread 'What mathematics software should engineering students use?'

What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
