Holy mackeral, that is cool. I really appreciate the "well, let's just try it" approach. I can't wait to see what happens when he launches his little satellite. If it shows positive results, lots of people will replicate it.

This is win-win: if it works awesome happens. If it fails then you're left with the experience of having built a little satellite!

That's called "science." :)

The more scientific posts seem to be at https://hackaday.io/project/5596-em-drive
Doesn't this show that his version of the EM Drive shows thrust even when supplied with power from batteries? (instead of an external cable?)
