   Magnetic fields are quite well understood, (that's the likely cause of   
   the tiny amount of thrust seen in this test).  The simple fact that _it   
   keeps working even when intentionally broken_ should be a clue that there   
   is an unaccounted for effect at play, (just like the earlier claim of the   
   EM Drive working actually being a thermal effect).   
      
      
   Also, the article you quote makes the usual error of confusing "a tiny   
   lab at NASA that spends spare time looking into things that almost   
   certainly don't work," for NASA as a whol;e.
