The Cannae and EmDrive have both been pushed online when if you read the scientific literature out on them, it is clear that there is something wrong. I haven't dug into the new findings but even just following the source, it is evident that the readings could have come from heating of air in the chamber. The results are anomalous which would be relevant if that actually could be attributed to the EmDrive actually doing something.Cowabungaa said:Do elaborate.P-89 Scorpion said:Not the EmDrive again this is just NASA trolling the internet again. It's not nor has it ever been a real thing get over it.
The previous research has always had questionable results too. Outside of Cannae LLC, the producer of the supposed engine, only two other experiments have been performed with the Cannae Drive/EmDrive. I could not find a link to any article written by the Chinese team, but it was reported that they observed 720 mN of thrust. The NASA team observed 30-50 mN but, more importantly, "Thrust was observed on both test articles, even though one of the test articles was designed with the expectation that it would not produce thrust." This definitely calls into question the efficacy of that experiment. Additional testing should definitely be done, but it is way too early to speculate about these devices.
