Emdrive fails tests.....conventional physics works

If you had plans of sending your grand kids to alpha centauri using the Emdrive to power colonizing ships, you had better change those plans.

Three new papers resulting from experimentation on the Emdrive concept show how previous apparent positive thrust measurements were wrong. They confirm no thrust generated down to 3 or 4 orders of magnitude lower than the thrust measured previously. Darn it!

So, a kid pulled apart a microwave oven, stuck the magnetron through a hole in the side of a copper pail/bucket and dressed it up with some random bits of stuff for his science competition entry, and NASA took notice?

Velocity, not velosity.

Had to check the published date half through reading to see who was fooling who .

I think you guys miss the main point here

"After many iterations, we developed an inverted counterbalanced double pendulum thrust balance, where the thruster can be mounted on a bearing below its suspension point to eliminate most thermal drift effects. "

This will surely revolutionize the audiophile speaker stand market!

I thought a double pendulum described a golfer swinging a golf club.

They need a new Retro Encabulator
