Its a tad bit expensive but this maser works at room temperature and importantly, continuously.

Time to implement this in the EM Drive??

Interesting for frequency stability I imagine, but probably low energetic efficiency?

however maybe can it serve to lock a high efficiency MicoWaves generator, like travelingwave tube...
It seems Shawyer's recent patent introduce a phase condition... Not sure Maser is useful (condition as I understand is more having a VCO controlled by phase difference in the cavity).

Good news for clocks.

there was a reason why why i put this item in the general physics section.

Suggesting to implement a ssm in a Em drive was just a headquirk.

i KNOW that the EM needs alot more net force.
if there ever be a solid state version of a EM developed, it will be a totally different design i guess..
