SPR's EMDrive :
<http://www.emdrive.com/>
Antigravity... or very close to it.
BBGB (Blow by Grinding Blow) or,, as close to enough information was herein
supplied from picture and description for some of us to attempt a
replication. There is also a patent, but I do not yet have that number. I
thought I should just pass this along, all that I have..
The short description is : an unbalanced 2 gm force- derived from : a 2.45
GHz microwave- bouncing back and forth within a resonant chamber- that is
wider on one it's ends..
The developer is a UK company SPR, director is Roger Shawyer.

Nasa is sceptical but there are reports of seven (7) independent reviews by
: BAE Systems, EADS Astrium, Siemens, and the IEE.
And... DTI ( a UK government agency?) has awarded the company 125,00 pounds
for the prototype, part of a three year 250,000 pounds Program. For Space
Propulsion (said to reduce the Mars mission from 9 to 3 months, etc.)

Note that they intend to increase the Q factor by orders of magnitude in the
future.
