From the abstract: "We identified the magnetic interaction of the power feeding lines going to and from the liquid metal contacts as the most important possible side-effect that is not characterized yet. Our test campaign cannot confirm or refute the claims of the EMDrive..."
Given that this is a 700W microwave oven putting out a tiny amount of thrust, and that a positive finding would invalidate a basic conservation law, my money is on those wires.
- rndn 11y agoOn the other hand, the current theory of the EmDrive predicted exactly that amount of thrust for the given configuration.
- XorNot 11y agoThe current theory of the EMDrive is complete, absolute bunk. Whatever an EMDrive is doing, can in no way be described by the incorrect relativistic reasoning used by Shawyer.
