Thanks for pointing out that EM is basicly massless so a lot of energy is used for a given thrust when compaired to a normal reaction drive. That is one of the reasons why I felt it would be impracticle as an engine. Nor do I believe that the conversation momentum is being circumvented by a loophole of wave theory, such loopholes do not exist that I am aware of. Rather I am trying to find out how the thrust is achived without voilating conversation of momentum. This device was created by respectable scientists, so I doubt that the recordings of observed thrust are in error, or that the concept is compleatly crackpot. So the question remains, How this this effect occur?

One of the things I would like to check is to see if the is any red shifting of the EM radiation from this process to account for the lost energy of momentum. Without access to their research notes and a working model to use in testing, all I can do is conjecture as to its cause. I have a couple of ideas, some of them the math will drive me crazy trying to solve, others I can not test without experimentation.

So back to what I said in my first post. I think this might make a good research tool, or a device for grad students to test classroom theory on, but as an engine for space travel, not, it is too inefficent and impracticle.
