Fun to think about though.Mike McCullochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00985573443686082382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637778157419388168.post-21198548193307079882015-08-22T00:12:05.724-07:002015-08-22T00:12:05.724-07:00Just a thought.

This would make MiHsC's predictions of Shawyer's two experimental results worse, but, depending on the drop in Q, it might make the predictions of the four NASA results better since I tended to overestimate them (see the table in my paper).Mike McCullochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00985573443686082382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637778157419388168.post-58795017033597871942015-07-12T13:14:25.322-07:002015-07-12T13:14:25.322-07:00Kelly: I'm pretty naive when it comes to marke...Kelly: I'm pretty naive when it comes to markets. If MiHsC is 100% correct (I have evidence, but it's not unambiguous yet) then the applications would be big: new sources of energy from the zpf, new ways to move/launch objects, a loophole to FTL?Mike McCullochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00985573443686082382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637778157419388168.post-90234057417863719612015-07-12T12:00:54.210-07:002015-07-12T12:00:54.210-07:00Mike- Serious questions about the differing method...Mike- Serious questions about the differing methods used to calculate Q for EM Drive research are being raised at NSF. Starting to look like the true Q values for many tests are going to be far lower than currently listed (almost never above 10,000). Not sure what the implications of that are for your theory.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06388738042629653874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637778157419388168.post-81027825573757239692015-07-10T12:28:17.547-07:002015-07-10T12:28:17.547-07:00Nicely crafted!

Just wondering, is there any way to utilize these theories to bring an actual product to market (ala the EmDrive - at least potentially)?Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00555115752031528988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637778157419388168.post-44831766367364565672015-07-08T15:39:57.321-07:002015-07-08T15:39:57.321-07:00Bravo!
