safety

This is a thread - Thread 3 in the series - focused on objective analysis of whether the EM Drive (a truncated conical cavity resonating at microwave frequencies) reported "thrust force" is an experimental artifact or whether it is a real propulsion effect that can be used for space applications, and if so, in discussing those possible space propulsion applications.Objective skeptical inquiry is strongly welcome, however disagreements must be expressed politely, concentrating on the technical, engineering and scientific aspects, and never focusing on persons involved. As such, the use of experimental data, mathematics, physics, engineering, drawings, spreadsheets and computer simulations are strongly encouraged, while overly broad subjective wordy statements are discouraged. Peer-reviewed information from reputable journals is strongly encouraged.Commercial advertisement is discouraged.In order to minimize bandwidth and maximize information content, when quoting, instead of a whole quotation please try to quote only the relevant phrases, and use an ellipsis (...) to indicate the clipped material.Only use the embed [img ]http://code when the image is small.

This subject has large interest, with over 1.5 million thread reads and 600,000 article reads. Most people are reading and not posting, so when you post it is in front of a very large audience.Also, and it should go without saying, amateurare discouraged unless you have gained educated and/or professional advice forreasons.
