When I bought my first home, the realtor said they wanted a $10K cash deposit. I took this literally and went to the bank and withdrew $10K cash, almost all my savings. When I opened my bag to give the realtor $10K cash they were aghast. They said to put it back in the bank please and get a check.
If you altered someones reservations how lucrative would it be? What are the chances of getting caught? Is it worth the possibility of a long jail term for wire fraud?
Thanks for figuring that out Mr Anon! I am impressed. You are smart and humble!
So let's see... if current speed of Voyager 1 is 17260m/s... carry the 2... then the EM drive would have added about (11.5 div 17260=6.6e-4) or 0.00066% velocity per year. Yuck. Better unpack your clothes for Alpha Centauri kids. (Weird the computer is underlining the word Centauri as though it is misspelled.)
I plan to print this out and let my 11 year old talk to her math/science teacher about it.
By the way, how will you power your space ship? I ask because unless you have an unlimited portable power source, you will run out of juice pretty quickly.
Exactly Alain. It's still too early to get overly excited. I just read the Wikipedia article on the subject.

One of the criticisms against earth based tests of the EM drive is various causes of noise. Your proposal is the only way to see if the thing really works or not.
This is such a great question Mr. Chauhan. I am sure it would be really easy to answer for anyone who has dabbled in those kinds of equations. Or here is another permutation of the same question: Imagine the two Voyager craft that were launched in the 70's. If they were equipped with EM drive with approximately 250 watts of continuous power how much further away would they be now and how much faster would they be travelling?

This gives me nostalgia for my VIC20 and C64. There were never any OS updates. Nice. If only Windows shipped on a ROM cartridge.
I agree totally. Sadly Google has such deep pockets that they are a good target for lawsuits. That's why we can't have nice things.
