EmDrive: Nasa Eagleworks peer-reviewed paper finally published by AIAA saying it works http://ibt.uk/A6gGR

This is... insane.

There's a thread for that, GB

This deserves its own thread. It may end up being the biggest technological achievement of our lifetimes.

An engine that doesn't require fuel would change everything.

I think you'll agree that the miniscule accelleration delivered as of yet will need some work before it can really take off

I think you'll agree that a few months ago one of the (incorrect) arguments against this engine was that in order for it to work at all it would have to violate Newton's Third Law.

A few thoughts:

- I remember there was an engineer maybe 20 years ago who was making similar claims about a 'perpetual motion machine' which seemed very similar. This however soudns much more realistic and believable.

I thought about this concept recently because I saw a program on Einstein's Equivalence Principle. This seems like a sort of fulfillment of the idea that energy and gravity can just as well be a pulling up instead of a pushing down. Just takes a genius to see things differently.

While the paper may have been published by the AIAA, sources in the know have told IBTimes UK that Nasa has indeed shut down the Eagleworks laboratory, and it is believed lead engineer Paul March decided to leave in October due to frustrations over the researchers' work not being taken seriously by the space agency.

- Not good, NASA, not good.

Nah, we covered that in the other tread a few months ago

It's reactionless, not fuel-less.

My apologies for being sloppy

Can't tell you how disappointed I was that this was not a link to the yoga pants thread.
