NASA's EmDrive paper has passed peer review

It has been confirmed that NASA Eagleworks' paper looking at EmDrive technology has passed peer review and will be published soon. The EmDrive is an innovative way whereby electrical energy is converted to thrust inside a closed microwave cavity, and does not need reaction mass. Because the thrust is generated inside a closed cavity there is also no exhaust.

Eagleworks is an experimental lab that is to Nasa essentially what the secretive Google X "moonshot" R&D lab is to Google/Alphabet, and the space agency is not yet ready to place its official stamp of approval on a technology many still believe does not work.

Although Eagleworks engineer Paul March has posted several updates on the ongoing research to the Nasa Spaceflight forum showing that repeated tests conducted on the EmDrive in a vacuum successfully yielded thrust results that could not be explained by external interference, those in the international scientific community who doubt the feasibility of the technology have long believed real results of thrust by Eagleworks would never see the light of day.

Next stop; warp drive!
