Do you think that an ion rocket works the same way as a solid fuel rocket?
Changing the subject to another sci-fi fantasy, are we?
That's not like you...
yes, rocket engines that burn fuel and oxidizer create pressure in a combustion chamber.
They both 'burn' AND 'create pressure'?
In a vacuum?
LOL!!!
Have you consulted the Laws of Physics on this matter?
In other words, you can't.
No; I can & I did.
You're just trying to pretend I didn't...
Or are you really too dumb to know?
Read again:
Free expansion says that when the system reaches equilibrium, the total work done is zero.
Then read this again:
A rocket that is constantly ejecting large quantities of gas is not at equilibrium, therefore the total work being done is not yet zero.
Then note the words 'not yet zero...'
Then LOL!!!
Does it really matter how the mass being ejected out the back is accelerated?
I can't believe you wrote this; but then again, I can't believe you write anything...
YES, it does matter...
When you're trying to explain how motion can be produced in a Vacuum, which is the total absence of all mass, pressure, matter, or any other means of creating friction or resistance, I'd say that every single thing 'matters'.
Because such a concept sounds like complete baloney to myself & any other sane person out there...
Thus, I will keep grilling you on the details until you give a satisfactory explanation for your claims.
You haven't yet, & I doubt you ever will...
You know why?
Because it is Impossible.
