Microwave Propulsion: Using RF to Push Magnetic Fields

AI Thread Summary
Microwave RF can vibrate bipolar molecules, suggesting a potential interaction with magnetic fields. Although a JPL engineer stated that radio energy does not affect magnetic fields, the discussion raises questions about the influence of RF on objects with magnetic properties. The electric (E) and magnetic (H) fields present in RF could theoretically interact with magnetic fields, similar to how microwaves affect molecular vibrations. The weak nature of these fields does not negate their existence or potential effects. This exploration into RF's capabilities may warrant further investigation into its applications in propulsion.

I once asked a JPL engineer if radio energy could affect a magnetic field, his answer was just plain no. But I have a problem with microwave RF affecting bipolar molecules. I mean microwaves cause these molecules to vibrate and they do so because the RF affects the electric and magnetic fields of the atoms. So why can't RF be used to push something that has a magnetic field, similar to the vibration effect of microwaves?

RF fields have an E and a H field
the E field is electric, the H field is magnetic.
They are both weak, but they do exist, and they interact with things (like your radio's antenna)
 
Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
