I can't find prototype diagrams with dimensions or something, did you find any? Please link?

The paper is $25 .... mmm http://arc.aiaa.org/doi/abs/10.2514/6.2014-4029

This post has some more info https://plus.google.com/117663015413546257905/posts/WfFtJ8bY...

Regarding the EmDrive…

OK, so, there's microwaves producing forces on either end of the cavity, and one end is bigger and…

wouldn't the forces be proportional to the area normal to either direction? i.e. one end may be smaller, it may even be a point (making the cavity a cone), but microwaves bounce off of the tapered neck of the cavity too.

Here it is on scribd from some kind person http://www.scribd.com/doc/235868930/Anomalous-Thrust-Product...
There's a link to a free version (in fact, several, in english and something that's maybe chinese) of the paper in the other story about it at HN.

But you're right that there are no actual dimensions in it.
