I love it. "So turns out bombarding a copper dunce cap with microwaves heats the fucker up and causes it to expand and warp. If you put your strain gages where that expansion and warpage is significant, you'll measure it." I really wanted this to work. I would have loved if scientists had found a weird corner where Newton fears to tread. But I'm really annoyed that this is the measurement error they failed to account for. Think what a game changer this could have been for SpinLaunch.“When power flows into the EmDrive, the engine warms up. This also causes the fastening elements on the scale to warp, causing the scale to move to a new zero point. We were able to prevent that in an improved structure. Our measurements refute all EmDrive claims by at least 3 orders of magnitude.”
