Using microwaves to provide thrust...and to warm your coffee at the same
time.


Calculate the specific impulse of that drive system. Now realize why
something anyone who has taken a course in E&M has thought of at least once
is not being built.


Its specific impulse is zero. Shawyer is either an idiot or a fraud.

A less than zero Delta-V is exactly what antigravity is all about.

Our Selene/moon L1 is offering just such a location, with a combined
Newtonian force of 2e20N/sec (-1e20 N pulling in each tidal force
direction).
