plot diagram of 2006 woodward effect test results
as of 2015, eagleworks attempting gather performance data support development of q-thruster engineering prototype reaction-control-system applications in force range of 0.1–1 n corresponding input electrical power range of 0.3–3 kw. group plans begin testing refurbished test article improve historical performance of 2006 experiment attempted demonstrate woodward effect. photograph shows test article , plot diagram shows thrust trace 500g load cell in experiments performed in 2006.
the group hopes testing device on high-fidelity torsion pendulum (1–4 μn @ 10–40 w) unambiguously demonstrate feasibility of concept. team maintaining dialogue iss national labs office on-orbit detailed test objective (dto) test q-thruster s operation in vacuum , weightlessness of outer space.
