AI Thread Summary
The pilot's claim of using Earth's magnetic field for navigation without engines raises skepticism due to fundamental misunderstandings of physics, particularly regarding air drag, gravity, and energy conservation. While the idea of inducing a charge to create lift is theoretically intriguing, it lacks practical feasibility. Critics emphasize the pilot's apparent ignorance of basic scientific principles, questioning his qualifications. Despite some belief in the potential of the concept, the overwhelming consensus is to avoid investing in such schemes. Overall, the discussion highlights significant doubts about the credibility of the pilot's claims.

Is it possible that the claim of the pilot is true that he can sue the Earth's field to navigate in air in a plane without engines?

He will induce a charge in the body of the plane, so that a force of magnetic origin is exerted on the plane, because the charge that is moving in a magnetic field experience a force. If the force is large to counter the weight... the plane "floats"...

But I think this may be possible. But maybe if he could induct lots of charge on the plane

Your pilot seems anstonishing ignorant of some basic notions - like air drag and gravity to say nothing of Ohm's Law and the principle of Energy Conservation. How DID he get his pilot's license? Oh, wait, he's into a new business now!

I'd rather not insult, and tell him nicely what is wrong with his theory.

Do you have any reason to think he would understand your explanation?

In any case, Tide's response was not directed to the author of the theory.
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
