EmDrive, Q-Drive, Cannae-Drive, and other reactionless microwave thruster

Discussion anout creating an X-Prize to prove EmDrive are considered by this article.
Let us hope it will foster research, to open or close that door !
We have our G-day to prove LENR, let us hope there is an EM-day for EmDrive (or an Em-night if it is an artifact)

Shawyer recently warned potential replicators :
(comment on Iulian Bercan site):
“… I feel I must emphasise the Health and Safety aspects of experimenting with EmDrive cavities. Exposure to a microwave power of 1ooW can lead to long term eye damage. A magnetron can cause blindness and sterilisation, whilst thehigh voltages involved can kill.The stored energy levels in a high 0, high power cavity can equate to a few grams of high explosive. In early experiments I burnt out five magnetrons and blew a small hole in a thin walled copper cavity following an internal discharge. High power EmDrive thrusters are dangerous and should only be operated with extreme care.I believe NASA has a duty to publicise the health and safety aspects of EmDrive experimentation before they get sued by some unfortunate experimenter.”It resonate with the warnings posted on LENR experiments.
Science is dangerous. Be careful . -
Basically everything is dangerous if you are using it not properly.
We are using daily many things, altough they can kill you very easily in some circumstances.Important is that you know what you are doing.
For example we are using electricity all the time, but it is very dangerous if you are experimenting with it and don't know consequences.
We are using knifes that can cause blindness, death, etc.Fire can be very usefull but very harmfull at the same time, yet we use it from the beginning.

A few guys are now experimenting with 3d printed "mini emdrives":
-
Many things happened:
there is a forum on EmDrive http://emdrive.io/community/Shawyer have his IAC14 reviewed and published
http://www.emdrive.com/IAC14publishedpaper.pdfShawyer publish a video (I cannot watch it here, your opinion is welcome)
Quote
A 5 minute audioslide presentation of the IAC14 paper, updated to include the latest test data from the University of Dresden Germany, is given here: IAC14 Audioslide (.avi 11MB)note that the tajmar paper is there
http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~akempf/text.pdfIt allow to understand how dishonest are some critical article (using one page of the paper where there is artifact, but forgetting the next page where the artifact is removed).
Anyway, it is still very uncertain, but both position are risky. We need experiments.
