This privacy notice applies solely to information collected by this website\. - [Home](https://www.altpropulsion.com/): APEC™ is the world's leading online conference for warp drives, gravity modification \& UAP physics research\. - [Stories](https://www.altpropulsion.com/stories/): View the latest stories in breakthrough propulsion and gravity research—from electrogravitics and inertial drives to superconductors, DNP/Alzofon, UAP detection, warp metrics, and energy generation\. Each section collects explainers, interviews, lab notes, replications, and critical reviews to help builders turn bold ideas into testable hardware\. - [Our Team](https://www.altpropulsion.com/team/): The APEC conference started during the Pandemic, when Mark Sokol, Jeremiah Popp, Tim Ventura \& Jeremy Rys started doing Zoom calls to discuss emerging concepts in propulsion physics\. That was November of 2020, and it didn't take long before word of mouth grew our meetings into a regular monthly call\. ## Posts - [The EmDrive: Theory, Engineering \& Applications](https://www.altpropulsion.com/the-emdrive-theory-engineering-applications/): Roger Shawyer’s EmDrive poses a question with enormous consequences for spaceflight: could a spacecraft accelerate using electricity without ejecting propellant? In his presentation to the Alternative Propulsion Engineering Conference \(APEC\), the British engineer connected that proposition to a sweeping vision of superconducting thrusters, personal air vehicles, lunar tourism, and reusable spaceplanes\. Along the way, he laid out the proposed physics, demanding engineering requirements, and reported experiments behind his electromagnetic propulsion system\. The resulting story reaches well beyond an unusual microwave cavity—it’s about the distance between a laboratory measurement and a technology that could change how people travel through space\. - [Gravitational Field Propulsion Technologies: From Superconducting Coils to Warp Drives](https://www.altpropulsion.com/gravitational-field-propulsion-technologies-from-superconducting-coils-to-warp-drives/): Could a spacecraft move by engineering the gravitational environment around it? For researcher Gary Stephenson, answering that question starts with separating a collection of ideas into specific physical mechanisms, proposed experiments, and unresolved engineering problems\. His survey of gravitational field propulsion technologies stretches from superconducting coils and oscillating fusion plasmas to warp drives, quantum transitions, and speculative forms of teleportation\. Developed through his volunteer work with the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies, the project asks whether any of these approaches could help explain unusual aerospace observations—and, more practically, whether they could point toward technologies humans might eventually build\. - [The Race To Infinity: Potential Solutions For Travel To Other Worlds](https://www.altpropulsion.com/the-race-to-infinity-potential-solutions-for-travel-to-other-worlds/): Brendan McNamara wants to meet aliens\. Not in the abstract, not through a message that arrives centuries after it was sent, and not by launching a spacecraft that his distant descendants might eventually welcome home\. He wants the encounter to happen within his own lifetime\. An ecologist, computer technician, farmer, and carpenter, McNamara approaches that ambition from an unusually broad perspective, following a trail that leads from nuclear propulsion and engineered spacetime to quantum computers, simulated worlds, and consciousness itself\. Along the way, the question changes\. What begins as a search for a faster spacecraft becomes something more fundamental: Does experiencing another world necessarily require taking a human body there? - [APEC 9/26: Operational Quantum Gravity, Vacuum Experiments \& Implosion](https://www.altpropulsion.com/apec-9-26-2026/): Mikolaj Baczynski will share new experimental results related to his Vacuum Propeller research; Todd Desiato will explore a proposed connection between gravity and the Standard Model; and Denny O will examine what comes next for implosion research\. We’ll close with discussion and questions from attendees\. We’ll also hear updates from our lab partners, then close with an open discussion and Q\&A with attendees\. - [Can We Harness Zero\-Point Energy? Inside Thorsten Ludwig’s Casimir Research](https://www.altpropulsion.com/can-we-harness-zero-point-energy-inside-thorsten-ludwigs-casimir-research/): Can we turn the energy of empty space into electricity? For physicist Dr\. Thorsten Ludwig, that question starts with a sphere just 200 micrometers across, a flexible cantilever, and a laser that reveals movements too small to see\. In an interview with Tim Ventura, Ludwig described the instruments he’s building to investigate Casimir forces, the semiconductor devices attracting attention to vacuum\-energy research, and the patterned surfaces he’s testing for possible propulsion effects\. His work offers a view of a field where genuine laboratory capabilities sit alongside ambitious, unresolved possibilities—and where measuring a force is only the beginning of learning how to use it\. ## People - [Bob Greenyer](https://www.altpropulsion.com/people/bob-greenyer/): Bob Greenyer is a British engineer, independent researcher, experimental investigator, and open\-science advocate whose work spans Low Energy Nuclear Reactions \(LENR\), condensed\-matter nuclear science, plasmoids and ball\-lightning phenomena, Exotic Vacuum Objects \(EVOs\), magnetohydrodynamics, materials analysis, and unconventional approaches to energy and propulsion\. - [Mark Sokol](https://www.altpropulsion.com/people/mark-sokol/): Mark Sokol is an engineering\-driven experimentalist and technology leader working at the intersection of advanced propulsion R\&D and community\-based technical collaboration\. He is the Founder \& CEO of Falcon Space \(Hawthorne, New Jersey\) and a Co\-Founder of the Alternative Propulsion Engineering Conference \(APEC\), where he is also a frequent presenter, host, and contributor\. His work emphasizes hands\-on build/test execution, repeatable measurement, and clear documentation—helping bridge independent innovators, startups, and researchers who are exploring unconventional propulsion and advanced energy concepts\. - [Daniel Davis](https://www.altpropulsion.com/people/daniel-davis/): Daniel Davis is an independent, self\-directed researcher focused on advanced propulsion concepts and foundational questions in physics, with particular emphasis on warp drive models and Everettian \(many‑worlds\) quantum mechanics\. His work is oriented toward reframing warp drive research as a legitimate, interdisciplinary engineering\-and\-physics problem—one that spans spacetime geometry, quantum foundations, materials science, and experimental test design—rather than treating it as either distant science fiction or a purely speculative curiosity\. - [Jeremy Rys](https://www.altpropulsion.com/people/jeremy-rys/): Jeremy Rys, widely known online as Alien Scientist, is an independent physics researcher, media creator, conference organizer, and UFO/UAP transparency advocate whose work sits at the crossroads of experimental propulsion, classified technology history, fringe physics, and public disclosure\. A graduate of Bridgewater State University with a degree in Physics, Rys has spent decades researching deep\-state politics, classified scientific programs, advanced aerospace concepts, and the long public controversy surrounding UFOs, anti\-gravity, and reverse\-engineering claims - [Charles Buhler](https://www.altpropulsion.com/people/charles-buhler/): Dr\. Charles R\. “Charlie” Buhler is a physicist and electrostatics specialist associated with NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, where he has been publicly described as a lead research scientist in the Electrostatics and Surface Physics Laboratory\. His NASA\-facing work centers on practical, mission\-relevant problems that show up whenever you combine sensitive hardware, harsh environments, and electric fields—especially electrostatic charging, discharge \(ESD\), and surface physics effects that can become real operational hazards\. ## Categories - [Events](https://www.altpropulsion.com/events/) - [Physics Theory](https://www.altpropulsion.com/theory/) - [UAP Analysis](https://www.altpropulsion.com/analysis/) - [Field Effect](https://www.altpropulsion.com/field-effect/) - [Warp Drives](https://www.altpropulsion.com/warp-drives/) ## People Categories - [Guests](https://www.altpropulsion.com/people_cat/guests/) - [Team](https://www.altpropulsion.com/people_cat/team/)
