NASA’s EM Drive Still Seems To Work – Update

You may or may not have read about NASA’s EM Drive.  Apparently it may be the future of space travel and their latest developments are exciting:

The latest news regarding the EM Drive, which produces a thrust seemingly from nowhere, comes from Paul March, one of the principal investigators on the EM Drive, and was published on the NASA Spaceflight forum. The post is in reply to an unpublished paper that claims the unaccounted thrust is generated by the Lorentz force between the EM Drive and the Earth’s magnetic field, something that March says his tests prove is not true.

And there is a development to this story updated this month.  You may not believe how seriously some are taking it and how far efforts have gotten to take this engine to another test.

Let’s find out what happened when they added a closed face magnetic damper on page 2

    There was an inventor that developed a perpetually running motor that ran off the earths magnetic pull . His prototype and research was confiscated by govt officials in the 70’s and he was told to stop research on it . He made another working model of the same motor in the 80’s and disappeared . I wonder if this is derived from his confiscated research
