This page compiles suggestions for as-yet untested variations in experiment designs for EmDrive testing. When possible, links to the original suggestion and a brief description of the justification for this test are provided.
Note: For purposes of this list, the baseline for experimentation is considered to be a copper fustrum with either a magnetron or coaxial RF feed operated at approximately 2.45Ghz, similar to Shawyer's Feasability Study
Contents
Design/Shape Modifications
- Imbed ferrite beads in the fustrum, either one large one on an endplate or a pattern of them on the sidewalls.[1]
- Separate resonance and attenuation chambers (proposed by WarpTech)
Fustrum Material Variations
- Build small end plate out of Metglas or a similar material with high magenetic permeability.[2]
- Fill a 24Ghz fustrum with ammonia gas[3]
Experimental Measurement Setups
