Scientists with the China Academy of Space Technology (CAST) claim NASAs results re-confirm what theyd already achieved, and have plans to implement it in satellites as quickly as possible. China claims theyve created a working prototype of the impossible reactionless engine and they say theyre already testing it in orbit aboard the Tiangong-2 space laboratory. The radical, fuel-free EmDrive recently stirred up controversy after a paper published by a team of NASA researchers appeared to show theyd successfully built the technology.
The implications for this could be huge. For instance, current satellites could be half the size they are today without the need to carry fuel.
At a press conference in Beijing, researchers with CAST confirmed the government has been funding research into the technology since 2010, and claimed theyve developed a device thats already being tested in low-Earth orbit, IBTimes UK reports. It comes just a month after anonymous sources told IBTimes UK that tests on the EmDrive were underway aboard Tiangong-2 shown below....

Forget EM drive. We're going to need ET drive to really get around the galaxy quickly and safely.
I said the net momentum is zero. They cancel each other out. If you throw a baseball, you are also pushed back slightly in the opposite direction. You’ve been given the exact opposite momentum that the baseball has been given. The baseball still has momentum, but borrowed from you.
Yes, I wouldn’t go sinking money into this yet. There is a 99% or higher probability it is not going to pan out.
But on the other hand, so many “scientists” are utterly dismissive of anything that conflicts with current understanding and they rule academia in the US. Even noting observations that could potentially challenge the orthodoxy will get you blacklisted from ever publishing or being hired as a researcher.
I have witnessed “preposterous” theories in medicine eventually proven true. Those researchers had to step up with a large amount of evidence and dubious researchers had to confirm that evidence before the new theories were accepted.
During the same time other preposterous theories didn’t pan out. It is very difficult to tell from the outside who is the genius is. I would love to see the solar system opened up and hope this is genius, not crackpottery.
I also know that you can't mix matter and anti-matter cold captain!
You appear to be taking into account only Newton’s third law, which believe it or not does not constitute the entirety of the laws of physics, which in this case applies the Theory of Special Relativity.

There is a reaction that takes place in this device due to radiation pressure, which comes from the photons produced by a magnetron.
call it a scientist's hobby...
