NASA’s “EM Drive” Microwave Propulsion System Gets a Boost

This is the name of the invesgative organization is Eagleworks.  It sounds as if the reviews will be pretty stringent:

Eagleworks’ entire purpose is to investigate far-out propulsion claims, so it’s not a surprise that the EmDrive falls under this aegis.  March described the peer review process (where others in the field try to replicate the results before official publication) as “glacially slow.” It also may take a long time because EmDrive is unlikely to pass peer review, or at least generate the thrust its inventor, Roger Shawyer, claims it can, since that would upend the laws of the conservation of energy and momentum.

If however the tests do show positive results, this will likely pave the way for future versions and other technical organizations may chip in to make this thing.

Now is this a good idea?  We will find out.

    nooo ….but it does make a mean bucket of popcorn.

    note to self: best to use kettle popcorn. 3 minute bags turn into 3 second nitro. Buy new table….
