A generalisation of induced representations

Let $G$ be a finite group, and $H\subseteq G$ a subgroup. Let $F$ be a field. Let $W$ be a finite-dimensional $F[H]$-module. Let $T$ be a left transversal of $H$ in $G$. Then we can define: $W^G=\sum_{...

Existence of $\sqrt{2}$ in a finite group algebra over $\mathbb{Q}$

I cannot find a finite group $G$ such that $\exists x\in \mathbb{Q}[G]$ with $x^2=2e$, where $\mathbb{Q}[G]$ is the group algebra of $G$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. I also could not prove it does not exist. ...
