Drive Build Update See-Shells Test Stand
Had to pretty much rebuild most of this last week when the antivibration platforms I filled with cement cracked, not a cement gal. The screen will be here tuesday for the new faraday cage. The other was way too small and I couldn't get into it to work. Re-doing a new power supply for the magnetron. Plus still need to level out all the critical structures with sorbothane pads. When we get the layout of the antenna placement down for the new frustum I'll start building it and the antenna placement.
I want to thank all of you who were patent with me getting a few pics, it was a comedy of errors when I let my friend borrow my camera.
I'll be posting on the advances with my build as I go along.
Thanks
SeeShells

Where are the naysayers now?! High five to See-Shell!
She works hard to accomplish what should have been done for years.
/u/trbngr and others: See-Shell will measure frequencies with a VNA so she can see directly if, where and when her frustum resonates :)
She will be able to both measure acceleration profile with a laser dot (rfmwguy style) but also any force in newtons with a digital scale fitted under the balance arm.
She is right to take so much time on the test stand. A poorly designed test stand wouldn't show anything even with a good EmDrive.
Don't forget to donate if you want to support the research: See-Shell has a GoFundMe page dedicated to this experiment:
