Propulsion devices proposed or claimed to produce thrust without throwing away any propellant, which would break the conservation of momentum as physicists understand it. They include the Dean drive, the EmDrive and the general idea of the reactionless drive. An invention belongs here when the cited article describes it as a reactionless drive or as a device purported to work like one. No such device has been shown to work in a verified experiment.
