So, thermal radiation slowed the Pioneer spacecrafts. 'Thermal' is a type of Electromagnetic (EM) radiation, right?
Doesn't that make it an EM Drive?
Why the cone apparatus? What is preventing the intentional design of a spacecraft that uses thermal radiation (or Thermal Recoil Force) similar to the Pioneer spacecraft?
e: The replies indicate the answer is that this could be built but the effect is to weak to be practical. Which I find to be a completely acceptable answer, thanks.
