Solution
The correct option is C
c) A new rocket engine
Answer 62: C
Explanation: The EmDrive (Electro Magnetic Drive) is a microwave thruster developed by British engineer Roger Shawyer that aims to replace the rocket engines of today. EmDrive requires no propellant at all. Instead of using heavy, inefficient rocket fuel, it bounces microwaves back and forth inside a cone-shaped metal cavity to generate thrust.
