Brilliant! Essential reading!
I bought this for my eldest son, who was absolutely rapt until he realized that he would have to learn some serious maths to understand it. The book is utterly formiable in that is really does cover a multitude of engineering aspects of the mechanical, electronic, and aerodynamic problems concerned with this topic.

I should say that being peaceniks, we only got this book REALLY because of two reasons; one, it's the real thing; you learn so much from it; and two: I have to say that in all honesty that it's fantastic to have this in the back of your car, folks. If you want a reputation and a half, go and leave it hanging around when you go to the local pizza takaway or read it casually while you're waiting for that Chicken Tikka Masala. Damn, you get respect from the locals after that one; I never got so many offers in my life - but they were all from strange people in expensive suits with funny accents. I'm not entirely sure if that is what you are after, gentle reader, but make sure that you are squeaky clean before putting this in the shopping basket. Other than that, I should say that it really does behove you to check out the other titles in this series. They are all absolutely down to the nail. Engineering at it's best. ... Read more

Product Description
Complex, vast, and multidisciplinary, chemical propulsion has been the subject of extensive investigation over the past few decades. Under the leadership of Gabriel Roy, this has been particularly true at the Office of Naval Research (ONR), where his team has focused on the three primary goals of combustion research: improving the efficiency, increasing the range and speed, and reducing the emissions and signatures of combustion systems.Advances in Chemical Propulsion: Science to Technology reports on the progress achieved by the outstanding team of scientists and engineers participating in the ONR Propulsion Program. Its chapters, each written by the scientists who performed the research, cover all aspects of the combustion process, from chemical synthesis to reaction pathways of the fuel, from combustor performance to the reduction of emissions, from the sooting problem to thrust vectoring, and from diagnostics to control. They discuss the relevant issues, describe the approach used and the results obtained, and show how the findings can be extended to practical applications.Richly illustrated and carefully edited for clarity, uniformity, and readability, Advances in Chemical Propulsion offers a comprehensive survey of the field, from pre- to post-combustion. It suggests directions for new research efforts and reflects the state-of-the-art technologies and issues that have a direct impact on combustion systems, both present and future. ... Read more

Pure Genius
Anyone who has studied Tesla will be very pleased with the easy to understand style that Lyne brings to an intentionally complicated subject. This is a must have for any conspiracy enthusiast!

Intersting premise
Not all the way through yet, would like a bit more meat in the book. Up to know a little hard to follow.

At the heart of the Big Cover Up in so many ways.
I share this authors view that at least since the 1930s, the vast majority of so-called "UFOs" that have been seen have been piloted and built by Earth-bound human beings. American and German forces dominated the skies pre/post WW2, but the Russians, British, and Chinese are no doubt involved in more recent times. And it really did come to a very crucial crossroads in the life of primarily one man: Nicola Tesla. If Tesla's ideas and inventions would have been adopted by the Western World back in the late 1800s, then the oil & gas cartels, medical monopoly, utility extortions, international bankers, and many governments would not have been able to control [...] us like they currently do on a daily basis. This book does a great job in documenting the science behind it all and the cover-up, and the abuse the author has suffered to get the info out. Well done Bill!

This book is opinion of the author, unconnected to Tesla
I bought this book because of amazon's recommendation expecting it to be based on the work of Tesla.What you find instead is that this is a mix of the authors own theory of atomic physics (introducing a new subatomic particle called omnion at the outset) as colorful support to presumed discoveries by Tesla himself.
It could be an interesting book for anyone looking for Occult/Physics but I resent the extremely thin factual connection to Tesla's work and feel the poor man is being used again by this author very much as he describes corporate interests did with Nikolai's inventions.

Very Strange Book
I'm giving this book 4 stars mainly for the interesting information it provides about Nikola Tesla and Tesla's theories.

Telsa stands out as a very eccentric, enigmatic, and mysterious historical figure.There are many strange conspiracy theories associated with Tesla which are related to what some believe was his understanding of what Plato and the ancients called "the aether".

The main idea of the book is that there are alternative ways to generate unlimited, free energy by capturing the ambient energy which pervades the entire universe.This type of energy generation uses an ether based physics which is currently not part of mainstream physics and which is not taught in the colleges.Some people like Lyne believe this fact in itself is a government sponsored conspiracy to conceal this great secret from the masses.

Related to this ether physics are alternative theories about many things such as gravity, electricity, and matter.

There is a very strange side to this book.

The author claims to be able to see flying saucers almost at will and he believes they are always terrestrial in origin.

He states that the famous German rocket scientist Wernher von Braun had been in American before World War 2 and then returned to Nazi Germany and helped Hitler build flying saucers.

Also the Nazis had some sort of submarine that launched neutron bomb tipped rockets.

The author believes he is being monitored and harrassed by the CIA.

I do agree with him however that Tesla's papers were confiscated by the FBI almost immediately after his death.

It is possible that Edison and others conspired against Tesla because they were in a position to make tremendous fortunes using conventional power systems.

However this assumes that Tesla's power systems were safe which is a big question mark I think.

Remember that gigantic explosion that occurred in Siberia in 1908 that destroyed an entire forest ?Tesla believed he had caused it while testing his death ray device.This is interesting because to this day I don't think anyone really knows what caused this event.

Lyne throws in some philosophy and associates Einstein's followers with Plato and the aether guys with Aristotle.I'm not sure this analogy works that great.In fact some people believe that Plato's geometry and neo Platonism hold the keys to unlocking this alternative aether science.

I don't understand physics myself.From my perspective I believe in the aether but suspect Einstein may have been saying some of the same things in a different way.

I suspect what people like Tesla did is rediscover information that was well known in the very ancient past on Atlantis and ancient Egypt.

It is only relatively recently that people are beginning to fathom the true nature of the mysterious Great Pyramid in Egypt.This pyramid was a machine and it used this ether based physics in combination with crystals to generate tremendous amounts of energy.The pyramid itself functioned like a gigantic crystal when it was in working condition.

Anyway this is a relatively short book so it can be interesting.

A Fine Look at the Future of Fusion for Space
This book is a well written introduction on how fusion technology might be applied to space propulsion. The first few chapters give the basics of fusion engines.The descriptions of magnetic confinement and intertialconfinement fusion are some of the best I have seen.The material istechnical enough for those who have studied fusion for years, and partsthat are too technical can be skimmed without loss of understanding inlater chapters. These later chapters describe fusion initiated byantiprotons and catalyzed by the muons that are produced bymatter-antimatter annihilation.This seems to be a very efficient way touse very smallamounts of antimatter. The technical details of thefusion rocket engines were very well researched, and were quite detailed.The only problem I found in the book was in the list of fusion fuels intable 2 of chapter 1, where there are several typographic errors (there is,of course, no beryllium-3 isotope).There is also an error in the data forthe lithium-7/proton reaction, giving beryllium-7/neutron products as 80%. This reaction rate would require a temperature of nearly 20 billion degreesKelvin, whereas it would not occur at ignition temperatures (~1 billiondegrees Kelvin). Overall, the book is very well done, and thespeculation in the book is backed by good research and theory.Thepossibilities that are envisioned by this book for the future of fusion inspace propulsion are great. ...
