Default Emdrive might change the law of inertia (for the Earth too!)

It conveniently assumes that it's possible to change the charges on such
a time-scale without the resulting magnetic fields totally negating the
effect.

A full analysis will show either that there's no net force, or that the
change in momentum is matched by the momentum carried off as a result of
a net radiation of electromagnetic waves in the opposite direction.

Oh, and the fact that this thing will inevitably radiate electromagnetic
waves means that it requires a constant input of power.
