Here's the original article:

NASA tests ‘impossible’ no-fuel quantum space engine – and it actually
works | ExtremeTech
http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/1...actually-works

Apparently the idea behind it is that the short-lived virtual particles
that are created spontaneously by the Quantum Vacuum Energy can be used
as thrust particles! Quantum Vacuum Energy is the going to be big in the
upcoming decades, my prediction!

It is easy to get convection if a fixed tank of air, say circulating airflow
because of generated heat that then would look like propulsion.
Virtual particles that pop in and out of existence is an old song by now.
There is also interaction with the earth magnetic field of the whole electrical setup.
Even the electron beam in y'r old teevee is deflected by that,
Coils carrying current are used to position satellites.

No data is given, no picture of the experiment, no drawings.
NASA needs media attention, that is why they give themselves awards every few days.
In reality no man has gone nowhere where no man did go before since Armstrong & co
Not a surprise if you read that 'paper' or 'announcement', or blurb.
Same for their recent jive about warp drive.
It ain't flying.
Just like the F35.
NASA scrapped their Apollos, and destroyed the drawings and technical info.
How stupid can you get.
China has already surpassed them, faster cheaper better, controlled moon landing.
Next will be a Chinese manned mission, mars.

Well, it's NASA, presumably they've taken all of that into account,
that's why this test is such a big deal, since they were the ones that
confirmed it, they weren't the ones that invented it.
