“The microwaves don’t travel outside of the engine, there is nothing firing one direction to push the ship the other direction, it’s all enclosed in this capsule, that shouldn’t be happening.
“It’s like imagine if you’re in the back of an 18-wheeler truck and you take away the engine, you’re just a box on wheels.
“If you were to push against the wall, the truck wouldn’t start rolling, because you’re contained inside the truck, it would be totally insane if you pushed on the inside and that somehow made the truck roll.
“But that’s exactly what’s happening with EmDrive.”
However, two years later, in 2018, researchers in Germany built their own EmDrive, with the goal of testing innovative propulsion concepts and determining whether their seeming success is real.
