Talk:Electromagnetic propulsion

message: someone wrote
:Electromagnetic propulsion is very efficient and very powerful: indeed, gravity is (though relatively weak) one of the strongest forces available for propulsion. It is so strong, in fact, that the UN banned construction and use of any and all types of railgun.
Is this some sort of joke ? I went to http://un.org/ and did a search for "railgun":
:  Your search - railgun - did not match any documents. 
The UN has banned some weapons,
including "landmines and booby-traps, incendiary weapons, weapons leaving undetectable fragments in the body, and blinding lasers" -- http://disarmament.un.org:8080/update/Dec2001/Dec2001.htm
Please tell me if the UN has said anything one way or the other about railguns.

Although I'm not sure of your tone in this response, I'll just take it as being genuinely interested in whether or not the UN has said anything. Shipton 18:27, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

message: This article states "The thought of using magnets for propulsion continues to this day and has been dreamed of since at least 1897..."  Yet the article "H. L. Hunley (submarine)" states "The three inventors...began development of a second submarine... Their efforts were supported by the Confederate States Army...  The men experimented with electromagnetic and steam propulsion for the new submarine..."  This was between 1862 or 1863. Paulburnett (talk) 03:15, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Electromagnetic propulsion pre-dates 1897 

message: Is there any way to make a cars and ufo section.  I have an electromagnetic moped and was wondering how the induction motor and pulse circuits are not a part of electric cars yet.  However a few people out there from tesla to troy reed to a turkish inventor named yildiz to a few other pakistani inventors made an induction motor with pulsating currents.  However Yildiz has a weak system its only a motor or magnetic field (massxenergy=speed), he only has an induction motor so his motor is limited by size.  It is the principle of emv, no gas, no recharge.  My system without an induction is 2 hrs recharge time, and that beats the world's best electric car at a booming 3 hrs.  Was wondering if these sections could be included in the near future also because on this website, they claim to be making a UFO out of electromagnetism.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mvdc1980 (talk • contribs) 06:58, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
