Andrew Aurigema demonstrates a vacuum chamber force test of the Exodus Propulsion Technologies propellantless propulsion system.
Andrew is co-founder of Exodus Propulsion Technologies - and a second-generation Space Coast native who grew up knowing that moon landings and Star Trek were both real. Now a professional Aerospace Engineer by trade, he run his own space program out of a private airfield north of the Kennedy Space Center when not building rockets for others. Starting with balsa wood and flyback transformer lifters more than 20 years ago, he has developed the propellantless propulsion system now branded as the Exodus Effect.
Based around the Asymmetrical Electrostatic Pressure concept, his propulsion team has created, tested and documented more than 1500 separate “thruster” test articles in air, oil, and vacuum. Ongoing research includes meta material investigation, electrostatic field interactions, RF based thrust generation and all manner of bread making. Of them all, bread making is by far the most difficult and rewarding.
On any given Sunday, his hanger is the only place on earth that has fresh pizza and an operational warp drive.

![Propellantless Propulsion Lab Walkthrough | Charles Buhler | Exodus 2024
NASA physicist Dr. Charles Buhler does an impromptu electrostatics lab walkthrough and describes the evolution of Exodus propellantless propulsion drives.
Dr. Charles Buhler is the co-founder of Exodus Propulsion Technology and lead scientist and co-founder of NASA’s Electrostatics and Surface Physics Laboratory at Kennedy Space Center. Dr. Buhler has a PhD in Condensed Matter Physics from Florida State University, which he received in 2000 while working on high temperature superconductors at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory.
Dr. Buhler has experience working with electrostatic discharge & ESD safety for the Space Shuttle Program, the International Space Station Program and the Hubble Space Telescope Program. He was also a Co-Investigator for three NASA Research Announcements funded by the Mars Exploration Program, and is currently working on NASAs Dust Project focused on utilizing electrostatic methods to remove dust from personnel and equipment that will be sent to the Moon through NASAs Constellation Program.
Dr. Buhler joins us today to discuss his independent research into field-effect propulsion systems at Exodus Technologies, leading to a patented new propulsion technology that requires no fuel or ejection-mass to produce thrust.
