Originally the build was to replicate the Flight Thruster. Big problem was the cost and range of 3.85GHz Rf amps.
Build is now focused on a 2.45GHz design that can be powered by a range of low cost WiFi Rf amps. The use of the EMDrive Calculator and feedback from Roger Shawyer has enabled me to better understand the relationships between the 3 frustum dimensions, Df, power and generated thrust.
My test rig will be suspending the EMDrive from a spring then directly on a digital 1kg scale that can measure in 0.001g increments as Roger Shawyer did when measuring the thrust from his Flight Thruster.
I believe this is the simplest method to accurately measure EMDrive thrust, when the EMDrive weighs more than the scale can handle.
