Great thing if EM Drive can be done.
Reminds me of collapsing magnetic fields of wire windings or "coils" used for
engine spark plug firings.
Wonder how natural magnetic fields (Earth, Sun, etc.) would affect it when
moving at high speeds?
Almost 40 years ago I wrote a science fiction short story, only submitted to
OMNI magazine and never published. Interstellar space ship used a similar thing,
but gathered the diffuse particles and photons of deep space at fractional light
speed to power it.
Acted as both barrier field and propulsion. :)
