Measurement of Impulsive Thrust from a Closed Radio-Frequency Cavity in Vacuum
http://arc.aiaa.org/doi/10.2514/1.B36120
“A vacuum test campaign evaluating the impulsive thrust performance of a tapered radio-frequency test article excited in the transverse magnitude 212 mode at 1937 MHz has been completed. The test campaign consisted of a forward thrust phase and reverse thrust phase at less than 8×10?6torr8×10?6??torr vacuum with power scans at 40, 60, and 80 W.”

NASA’s Physics-Defying EM Drive Passes Peer Review

“The reactionless thruster known as the EM Drive has stirred heated debate over the past few years. If successful it could provide a new and powerful method to take our spacecraft to the stars, but it has faced harsh criticism because the drive seems to violate the most fundamental laws of physics.”

NASA’s Peer-Reviewed Paper on the EmDrive Is Now Online
http://motherboard.vice.com/read/nasas-peer-reviewed-paper-on-the-emdrive-is-now-online
“Earlier this week we wrote about a leaked paper that apparently confirmed that NASA had built a working electromagnetic drive (or EmDrive), a theoretical (and “impossible”) rocket propulsion system that seemingly violates Newton’s Third Law of Motion. It’s such a controversial subject that the the moderators of the /r/Physics subreddit deleted their thread with our post out of a conviction that the EmDrive is unscientific.”
