The chinese gov have confirmed it works, theres some truly crazy chatter going on with the top brass right now, they think they might be able to scale the effect up enough to build several thousand ton nuclear powered spaceships. Stay tuned

Time to unveil some of that sweet black technology before the chinese smoke them.
>>8550833
Thermal effects.

Of course if it worked we wouldn't need nukes to power it, we could use more meme drives.
>>8551146
But what would power those other meme drives?
>>8551865
Overunity generators.

They don't think it's actually reactionless ,the general conclusion is it has something to do with an unknown part of physics and it doesn't break any laws of motion.
Reminder, GR a shit
Gaining mass from relativistic velocities is pure junk science
>tfw know this is probably bullshit but still have a sliver of hope since it would actually let us explore the universe in my lifetime
I hate being so easily swayed by hope, but there it is.

LOL, as soon as any government gets new technology they try to use it to create weapons, all the fucking time.
>chinese claim that they're using new technology to go to space
>chinese claim that we will be on Mars by 2019
>2019 comes, no Mars
>Infowars or other conspiracy news site says that the chinese have ultra-blaster-advanced new weapons
>no one cares
years later we discover that all US, Russia and China now have weapons based on Emdrive, it will be in some MSM like RT but no one will care since normies are dumb.
what you guys think that Emdrive weapons will ook like?

Nothing more than the "killer satellites" we have already up there
Except they would be able to slowly maneuver and keep themselves in orbit indefinitely until debris/anything else tears them apart or shuts them down

>Threadly reminder that the """"""thrust"""""" almost completely disappeared when they switched to a vacuum.
>Threadly reminder that the """"""thrust"""""" lingers after the device is switched off, and then slowly vanishes, pic related.
>Threadly reminder that the """"""thrust"""""" doesn't change with the orientation of the device.
Threadly reminder that we're seeing some confounding variable.
>B...but China said that it works, they even said that they have one in orbit.
Yeah well according to the CPC nothing ever happened in Tienanmen Square.
