Developing a small fuelless microwave thruster

Here is the link to the test data of the EMDrive V4.
Looks still a bit noisy - many peaks occur irregularly, so many of them can´t come from thrust.
There are some repetitive patterns though.
I included a viewer so you can browse in the graph.
Raw ASCII data is also available.

The data is colon separated, the format description is included in the repository.
Have fun and please let me know if you spot some thrust.
I will make the new tests longer in hope that the noise can be filtered out better.

There is a trackbar with a CALC button beside: You can select the width of the moving average for the graph there.
The radio buttons let you see an overlay of the frequency, power, temperature, phase and PA current over the angle graph.
The red line is a trandline. If you find it useful, the "corr. trendline" checkbox will straigten the trendline on the display.

Found some interesting reading stuff:

As i can see they now have a superconducting version of the unit. This leaves me with the quistion: What is the Meissner-Ochsenfeld effect doing with the RF waves?? push the waves towards the endplate?

I was thinking about the noise levels. The same noise is also noticable in a common microwave oven. Thats why thay have a metal grid around it. Maybe its good to think about a noise collector close to the frustrum, ( like a small mesh around it )  similar to a old radio tube..
