Forces, Power, Frequency and Dimensions
The current best estimates for the parameters of various test articles run by public and private research labs (NASA Eagleworks, SPR Ltd., and NWPU) is here, along with the reported forces. Note that complete dimensions are not known in most cases, and some had to be determined via indirect methods (e.g., estimation from photographs). See Building for details on drives built by do-it-yourselfers.
Credit to Dr. Rodal and others for the great effort in compiling these. Please note some caveats for this data, at that link.
