[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1052109, member: 175144"] Maybe not. [I] Initial results suggest that the force reported in previous EmDrive [URL='http://www.iflscience.com/space/the-peer-reviewed-emdrive-paper-is-officially-out/']experiments[/URL] may not be the result of some magical invisible force, but rather the interaction of cables and Earth’s magnetic field. “Our results show that the magnetic interaction from not sufficiently shielded cables or thrusters are a major factor that needs to be taken into account,” the team writes in their paper. Calculating the forces between their cables and the Earth’s magnetic field, they surmised that the force they noticed – a few micro-Newtons – could be explained by the process. “[T]he German researchers noted that when they changed the direction that the EmDrive was facing, the direction of the thrust changed, but the level of thrust did not,” [URL='https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/d3kpyx/emdrive-spacedrive-germany-nasa-interstellar-spacecraft']Motherboard[/URL] noted. “This clearly indicates that the 'thrust' is not coming from the EmDrive but from some electromagnetic interaction,” the researchers added.[/I] [URL="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/325177082_The_SpaceDrive_Project_-_First_Results_on_EMDrive_and_Mach-Effect_Thrusters"]The SpaceDrive Project - First Results on...
