Bias drive[edit]
Non notable concept of M.G. Miller for space drive which would contradict the laws of physics and without the slightest hint, how it can be build. Entered the NASA BPP program through the concept paper cited above, but never got any further evaluation, let alone further research. Two hits on scholar.google.com, one of them dead. Also note, that the term is used for a an unrelated concept in electronics and control theory. --Pjacobi 11:51, 2005 May 5 (UTC)
- Merge into the stubby Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Program page, along with all the other hypothetical drives mentioned. (I added a link to a paper where the Bias drive is described.) — RJH 15:23, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to the page of blue-sky concepts for space drives that RJH cited; keep a redirect, perhaps, from a disambiguation page if the electronics and control-theory uses of the term (cited by Pjacobi) get at least stubs added. Not individually significant, but a verifiable example of the many wild-hair ideas that get mentioned in brainstorming. NASA took proposals on these for one of their more speculative idea searches, but this one didn't inspire a multibillion-dollar research program. Barno 17:35, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Also see pitch drive and disjunction drive, which appear to cover similar territory.
