Apparently they observed a much smaller amount of thrust than previous experiments—about 20 micronewtons—but they also note that the most recent experiments are much more sensitive and involved a higher degree of dampening. They even detected thrust when they weren't expecting to, during a test with the engine inverted meant as a control experiment. 20 mN in space is quite a big deal to be honest, no wonder the Chinese are extremely interested.
I guess the tests are still based on the 1G version of the EM Drive, but i cant wait to see results based on version 2G and even better G3!
