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

New NASA Emdrive paper shows force of 1.2 millinewtons per kilowatt in a
Vacuum and a low thrust pendulum and tests were at 40, 60 and 80 watts:

"The newest NASA emdrive paper concludes a force generation of 1.2mn/kw after errors
measurement is accounted for.

A low thrust pendulum at the NASA Johnson space center was used."

Null magnetic field present? Behavior characterized within a magnetic
field? Force direction affected by presence and orientation of magnetic
field?

The cited article, about this paper, says nothing [about that] - phrase
optional.
