What happened to it?

Chineses already put on ther rocktes, so, that shit work.

No real news since the paper late last year which seemed to show that something was happening. There was workshop in September where the Nasa results were discussed and plans were made for further work.

>>9027487
Pretty much confirmed to be nothing interesting.

>>9027493

Well that's not what the nasa paper showed. Confirmed by whom?

>>9027503
leddit says it is been debunked with zero thrust results, so take that as you will.

>>9027503
>Confirmed by whom?
Pretty much anyone that's done any objective research into it.
>Eagleworks paper has a graph that looks suspiciously like a typical cooling curve
>That Chinese group that had to retract their paper
>Tajmar found that the """"thrust"""" always pointed in the same direction, regardless of the orientation of the drive
It's quite literally nothing.

>>9027503
Oh, and they quote a thrust/power ratio that's approximately [math] F/P \approx 360/c [/math] so whatever it is, it's completely classical. No strange relativistic effects.

That reminds me of one of the shield technologies of the Skylark sci-fi series ("zone of force" maybe, not sure). The one where it negates the inertial force of the universe or something. You turn it on and suddenly you are flying, but actually the entire universe is just traveling away from you. (You also can't see out of it and no one can see into it and nothing can go through it.)

>>9027491
No the chinese put it in a vacuum chamber with its own batteries and found that it doesn't produce thrust

>>9027487
Its just a microwave in shape of a cone that gives the same amount of 'thrust' as a household microwave

Still working on it...

I got one experiment up and running and am working on making a better version of it currently...

Its not technically an emdrive but is definitely inspired by it...

I still need to do some more theoretical work to quantify the force, if any, and finalize some engineering designs...

Still deciding on whether or not to design an experiment to test the principle first and measure the force or just build the damn thing and see if it produces any thrust...

It is taking much longer than I thought but I am going to see it through until the end... Maybe a year for a prototype...

Do it fgt

The trust is the effect of thermal expantion of materials this contraption is made of, nothing else.

Maybe it vanished into the same warehouse where Lockheed stores it van-sized fusion-reactor.
