NASA Emdrive experiments have force measurements while the device is in a hard vacuum

[QUOTE=TestECull;47149671]I'm no physicist or rocket scientist, but from what I can gather based on what little knowledge I have of spaceflight* it seems to me that they may very well be on the edge of figuring out a new method of spacecraft propulsion that could see manned missions to Saturn's moons not only possible, but plausible [i]on a single launch[/i].

If I'm right someone give this team more money than god. We need their work and we need it yesterday![/QUOTE]

You're probably not right. Conservation of momentum can be derived in basically every context in physics. It has been tested with far more sensitive tests than this and found to hold. The experimental results are not particularly convincing. This website does not seem particularly reliable. No one has any fucking clue about how it is working in theory and pretty much every attempt to explain the theory so far has been terrible and demonstrated that an awful lot of people involved are not very good at physics.

These are all reasons why I would expect one of a few things to be true:
1. There is no anomalous thrust, this is experimental error.
2. Someone is lying for funding.
3. There [I]is[/I] thrust, but something unexpected is leaving the device as propellant.
