The 'EM Drive' BUSTED! (Patreon)

This one had wall to wall hype in the media. Odd thing was you only had to take the briefest of looks at the numbers to realize that even IF this device worked as advertised, it was almost completely useless.

100 millionths of a Newton of force for 100 Watts of power. Humans typically run at 100 Watts, and just me blowing on a balance can produce about 100 times that force.

Basically even IF this device worked as advertised, and was hooked up to a nuclear reactor, the extra power density of the nuclear fuel would mostly be cancelled out by the inefficiency of the engine, and you would be back at about the thrust to weight ratio of conventional rocket fuels.

Honestly though, this is going to be a rerun of that 'particles traveling faster than the speed of light thing'. It was a very difficult measurement that showed a speed slightly faster than light. Everyone knew sooner or later they would find the mistake in their experiment.  Same here. The difference between no thrust and the thrust measured here is almost nothing. 

Then you factor in the guy who came up with this idea is a crank who thinks this will give us hovercars.... and you just gotta be honest..... you have one very difficult to measure anomalous measurement. Whats more likely, a slight error in their measurement based on the ideas of a crank.... or we need to rewrite physics.....?
