Is it that the EM drive works because the top disc is smaller than the bottom disc?
I have a question about the EM drive. Do you think it works because the top disc is smaller than the bottom disc?
According to current scientific understanding, the EM drive is considered to violate the laws of physics. Its supposed propulsion relies on the idea that microwaves bouncing back and forth inside a cone-shaped cavity can generate thrust without propellant. The asymmetry in shape between the two ends of the cone could play a role in this, but the exact working mechanism is still unknown.
