Just a curiosity:The Q of a perfect superconducting cylindrical cavity of lambda vertical dimension at the earths surfaceQ = c^2/ ( g * lambda )I think.So maybe Shawyer is on to something w/ his deceleration curve ??
Dr. Rodal. I know your expertise on experimental setups.Please could you cast your searching eyes over this please?http://www.sifferkoll.se/sifferkoll/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/LuganoReportSubmit.pdf... and comment in the thread here:http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=35805.0Much obliged and thanks.

I thank you for the gracious invitation Thank you. However the topic has been nuked (maybe on my advice.) I am currently trying to understand Hubble and Unrhu horizons as I intuit that is the theoretical key to the anomalous thrust.

I thank you for the gracious invitation Thank you. However the topic has been nuked (maybe on my advice.) I am currently trying to understand Hubble and Unrhu horizons as I intuit that is the theoretical key to the anomalous thrust.Take another look at http://physicsfromtheedge.blogspot.it/2014/10/mihsc-vs-emdrive-data-1.html, Prof. McCulloch has now incorporated the Chinese data, and all the data [Shawyer, China and NASA] is pretty well calculated by McCulloch's formula except for one experiment (out of 3 in the list) by Brady et.al. that I had pointed out is extremely anomalous (they raised the Q by a factor of 2.5 and the force came down to 1/2). The Unruth/McCulloch formula does a great job [compared to everything else that has been offered, and look at this thread we have considered all kinds of stuff]. What is most interesting again is that McCulloch does not use fudge factors or an excessive number of parameters. Actually McCulloch's formula is bare bones: PowerInput, Q, frequency and the geometry: that's all folks.
