The key problem, however, is that the EM waves are transversal and the gravitational waves are longitudinal.

This DM supports the propagation of light as transversal electromagnetic (EM) waves and the propagation of gravity as the longitudinal waves, both with the same velocity c when measured away from gravitating bodies.

It is also difficult to judge from the pictures of the apparatus how long the resonator cavity is.

The significance of this derivation and its agreement with the measurement is not only the possible explanation of the EM Drive operation but also the terrestrial confirmation of existence of the DM including the correctness of the finite size model of the universe from which the DM formulas were obtained.

I agree with you on the gravitational waves being worthy of consideration, but I think it's too early to say such things with confidence or authority, because they haven't even been directly observed yet. That is simply my opinion based on a personal choice to stick with mechanisms which have some basis in reality, e.g. verified by some experiment, or at least a logically applied application of that knowledge. Anyway, here's some observations from a quick skim of your paper.I'm pretty sure gravitational waves are transverse quadrupolar waves, not longitudinal. We'll find out for sureif they're detected and analyzed. This reference explains in depth how longitudinal gravitational waves are, ahem...unlikely. http://www.tapir.caltech.edu/~teviet/Waves/gwave.html (ctrl-f for "Now consider the case of gravitation. Once again, conservation of mass prevents monopole radiation.")I think the inclusion of dark matter as an "aether" to support the propagation of radiation is an unnecessary layer of speculation which could be left out of the theory altogether. We've known since the MichelsonMorley experiment that we don't need an aether to support the propagation of electromagnetic radiation. (I am aware that Einstein rejected the aether with SR and famously brought back the aether with GR, but that is outside the scope of this.)We know the exact dimensions of the device tested by Eagleworks Lab.I fail to see how figure 1 serves as a model for the derivation of the thrust equation for EmDrive.To me, this paper appears to be a theory of how to generate longitudinal gravitational waves (if such a thing exists) from electromagnetic waves with dark matter particles as the intermediary. Most extraordinary to me is that it introduces a novel "DM model of the universe" (essentially rejecting established theories such as General Relativity and the Standard Model). I fail to see how the EmDrive serves as proof of your DM model of the universe, as the assumptions I take issue with at the beginning of this post are the basis for your derivation. The "anomalous thrust" from the EmDrive doesn't even do a good enough job of confirming EmDrive itself, let alone confirming a new model of the universe.Gravitational waves are a prediction of General Relativity and do not require the addition of a DM model of the universe.To my knowledge, what is required for the generation of gravitational waves is a rotating or oscillating mass quadrupole moment.
