It is scheduled to be published by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) in December.
However, there is one major problem: it shouldnt work, according to the current laws of physics.
Solar energy provides the electricity to power the microwaves, which means that no propellant is needed.
However, several researchers said it was not possible.
It cannot possibly generate any thrust without breaking some seriously fundamental laws of physics.
To put it bluntly, its like trying to pull yourself up by your shoelaces and hoping youll levitate.
However, the lack of fuel consumption could make up for the drop in power, the researchers say.
