I found results for the average poynting vector field that looks very interesting in a special situation. See pics
We show that the commonly accepted statement that sound waves do not transport mass is only true at linear order. Using effective field theory techniques, we confirm the result found in [Phys. Rev. B97, 134516 (2018), 1705.08914] for zero-temperature superfluids, and extend it to the case of solids and ordinary fluids. We show that, in fact, sound waves do carry mass---in particular, gravitational mass. This implies that a sound wave not only is affected by gravity but also generates a tiny gravitational field. Our findings are valid for non-relativistic media as well, and could have intriguing experimental implications.
But these symmetries are not compatible and cannot be mathematically described if time is linear because what is synchronous in linear time varies with the origin your perspective. These symmetries can only be resolved if time is a complex function.

I've drilled the holes in Oyzw's frustum so there's no turning back now. You can see in the 3D image how the tuning is supposed to work. Simply turn the knob to rotate and move the antennas in and out - almost exactly like before, except the tuners must be designed to fit the curve of the frustum. I was able to use two knobs from another cavity so I only need to print the two parts that fit against the frustum. Those are printing now.
What was very convincing about Tajmar's work was that he could turn on a choke which essentially cut off all power to the frustrum, while still delivering power to the board. Despite that he still saw almost exactly the same effects. Onset was very rapid, and so thermal effects were not really an issue. ...could you run me through the tests you plan to run and the logic you will use to assert a definitive positive or negative result?

In fact it is essentially a linear theory.Quote from: spupeng7 on 08/13/2018 05:54 amhttp://vixra.org/author/john_malcolm_newellHave you made any progress since we last had this conversation? It doesn't sound like you are saying anything new, and the linked articles aren't new enough to have resolved the impasse we ended at. I don't see any need to repeat the same conversation we have already had.
(...)Obviously the test needs to be repeated many times. Those tests will not be video recorded and narrated, so I will be able to get the test done long before the amplifier board heats up the phase change heat sink too much. That way if there is no thrust/movement at all, then we can comfortably call that a null result.

Power is still being delivered to the amplifier even without the PTT button pressed. In the graph below the PTT is yellow and the RF is red. Power to the amplifier was on from before the graph starts because I was busy talking. The green line, which is the amplifier board temperature, is constantly rising from the moment power was turned on. Then when the PTT is pressed and RF is present, the board goes from ~8A idle to ~12A. That's not exactly how Tajmar does it because he can keep the board at full power while diverting the RF, but it's a lot better than not having the ability at all. If there was fast response thrust, like that reported by NASA, then one would expect the LDS to begin moving almost immediately upon pressing the PTT and begin to return to zero when PTT is released. That did not happen. Instead we see movement a full ~13 seconds after the RF is present. That the maximum displacement coincides with amplifier board max temperature is very suspect for thermal effects. The big missing part of the test below is that I did not start the ADC soon enough to capture main power on. However, If you watch the video, you can see that there is no displacement from that event, just a steady rise in temperature beginning. Obviously the test needs to be repeated many times. Those tests will not be video recorded and narrated, so I will be able to get the test done long before the amplifier board heats up the phase change heat sink too much. That way if there is no thrust/movement at all, then we can comfortably call that a null result.
Does the rig have a control loop to lock in resonance? If not, people might argue that thermal effects could cause resonance drift, and indirectly cause the kind of delay in the LDS signal onset you saw.
progress! No, none of this constitutes progress yet but neither does engineering based on physics which is beyond question. Within that constraint the emdrive would never have been attempted at all.
What I am asking is that folk consider the possibility that the energy exchange fundamental to the structure and interaction of all matter may be understandable. There is no need to wrap it in the mystery and superstition of quantum paradox when there is a seamless explanation that even a dunce like me can come up with
Hello, my cavity, when do you start testing?
Quote from: oyzw on 08/15/2018 03:29 amHello, my cavity, when do you start testing?The cavity got a fresh coat of paint last night. This is so I can use an infrared camera to pick up resonant mode shape on exterior surface. I also used brasso to clean the interior surfaces. I have a few things left to do:1. Fabricate two antennas.2. Build the bracket for mounting the cavity to the torsional pendulum3. Tune the cavity4. Re-balance the pendulum for any difference between the mass of the 3D printed cavity and the solid copper. Then we should be ready to go! I'm shooting for the weekend.

There is no need to wrap it in the mystery and superstition of quantum paradox when there is a seamless explanation that even a dunce like me can come up with It is understandable, and doesn't need quantum for the explanation. Your statement about photons and zero travel time from their perspective is already in special relativity. Since distance also collapses to 0, you can't actually use that reference frame mathematically, just as a thought experiment. (Also quantum doesn't have actual paradoxes, just very, very unintuitive behavior)Also, to be blunt, you haven't come up with a "seamless" explanation of anything. I am not trying to discourage you from thinking about these things, but to point out when you are going in a roundabout direction to say something physics already says, or solve a problem or paradox that doesn't actually exist.
what was it Feynman who said, if you think you understand it then you don't, or something equally silly. The separate mathematical approaches of quantum mechanics and relativity are accepted as being incompatible by too many sources to list, let alone quote.
Yes, I agree that the solution is already present in special relativity but what I am proposing is a little different. I think we have misinterpreted separation in time as; distance between two points separate in space but synchronous in linear (scalar) time. That distance is not mathematically defined for more than one perspective, which is why I included the Tomonaga quote.
What is possible is that complex time, wherein separate but synchronous points are possible from all perspectives, allows not only mathematical resolution but also allows the translation of energy (momentum for example) without it having to exist in-between those points.
I have taken great care to spell out why this is possible in my vixra contributions
Please accept this as a compliment, as I accept your questions.
I certainly will attempt to "figure out a way to write down dynamics equations that don't break when you use complex time" as you suggest, my argument for gravity as an electrical effect relies on it.
Since distance, in my opinion, does collapse to 0 at the speed of light, then you can use that reference frame mathematically because math has been developed as a method of analysis of the real, as well as its complex conjugate

If not, people might argue that thermal effects could cause resonance drift, and indirectly cause the kind of delay in the LDS signal onset you saw.At this point, the control loop is me. It is not difficult to maintain maximum return loss by manually tuning the frequency. The resonance drift is not too fast that I can't keep up with it. This is not ideal, and I would like to eventually create a custom interface for the signal generator. Unfortunately that requires somewhat advanced knowledge of LabView. Right now, I am a novice at best, but I haven't put much effort into it.
