Tests looking good

Tests of EMDrive V3 are looking good. Wrote a piece of code to analyse the data and make an automatic guess of the direction in which the cavity is pointing

(calculating means of the platform displacement angle during ON and OFF phases and comparing them)

Five of five datasets have been guessed correctly by the software.

I´ll continue running the tests.

It´s still to be checked for other side effects though - basic stuff like tests without power, tests with detuned frequency or with cavity pointing downwards - but first I want to collect more data of directional tests.

I can only make one test per night, during daytime the noise is too high.

5/5 ain't too shabby :)

Look forward to more updates.
