The standing waves inside the EM Drive (responsible for the high Q resonance) are comprised of travelling waves propagating in opposite directions. (How the evanescent waves travelling toward the small end may benefit from the stored energy density from the standing waves remains to be analyzed.) &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=37642.msg1382031#msg1382031 Forum post by Rodal]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
