and dad is like , aww aren ' t you having fun . Who is winning . And suddenly a wild mother appears and all hell is loose . <| sep |> I would suggest doing a bit more research on the EmDrive in regards to Question 1 . NASA ' s test version was not built for efficiency , and produced very little thrusts compared to several other tests drives built by scientists and of course the EmDrive guys themselves . Also both the Cannae drive and EmDrive are said to be coming out with significantly more efficient versions in the VERY near future . Example r o g e r s h a w y e r p a t e n t i n g n e w d e s i g n n e x t g ensuperconductingthruster 1585982 According to SPR ' s FAQ page , the newest design produces approximately 30 kNkW . The second generation engines will be capable of producing a specific thrust of 30 kNkW . Thus for 1 kilowatt typical of the power in a microwave oven a static thrust of 3 tonnes can be obtained , which is enough to support a large car . This is clearly adequate for terrestrial transport applications . Therefore a few solar panels , and a thruster weighing only a few hundred pounds , given enough time , could create mind boggling speeds and of course kinetic energy destruction .
