Hi, Here's a variation on a theme. An atom may be seen as a small spherical resonant chamber, with infinite Q, with EM energy in it. In that respect it looks like one of these drive units, except that it wouldn't develop any force because it is symmetrical. If placed in a severely asymmetric

A stationary emdrive can still push a ship in a given direction. It becomes an inertial anchor. An inertial anchor resists being moved but does not move itself. You can push down or back on it and it wont move but pulling upon it and it moves freely. A craft with an inertial anchor on it can

No, Wesely is correct, it is an inertial anchor. (it could be used to push off or it could be used by moving it in the direction of travel and turning it on then bringing it to rest relative to the ship, or both)The reason acceleration is tricky is not because the energy is converted into motion
