That is what has the NASA / genius's so confused. There should not be the reaction that is happening. But it is and has been measured by several different labs around the world.
In the article I read the other day they even have two different working designs, though one is measurably more powerful than the other.
My thought however, is that the reaction may be something between the drive and the Earth itself. Either by the magnetic or gravity or some such, the reaction would be at least easier to fit into our known model of the universe.
But the idea of a fuel-less constant boost drive is amazing. The solar system (if not the stars) would be in our hands...

Larry Niven postulated a "Reactionless Drive" in his Known Space books that expels Neutrinos.
It sounds like a Gyro, The Microwaves imparting momentum to the front of the drive while somehow not doing so to the back of the drive most likely accomplished with different deflection materials at the front and back.

3 pages? It's only 2 for me... what am I missing?
