Oh no! Its bad enough having to mod the IC vs Electric contraversary - if we get EM drives in models then I'll have to give up! wink 2

PS They will be dead expensive at first, then HK will bring one out for a fiver! But you won't be able to order it cos the website won't let you!

This National Geographic piece does a great job walking through some of the proposed physics explanations for how the EM drive could generate thrust (if it in fact does). The Eagleworks scientists propose that the microwave photons are pushing against something called "quantum vacuum virtual plasma" - something that hasn't been proven to exist. Physicist Mike McCullough of the University of Plymouth has proposed a new (also unproven) kind of radiation experienced by accelerating objects could be at work. The phenomenon might be evidence of a hypothesis developed by Woodward, called the Mach effect, in which the energy generated by the accelerating body is actually stored within the body.

Is that a definite may be or not?
