I read an article about this yesterday. It doesn't sound very promising from how it was described. The NASA report said they were able to get 30 - 50 micro-newtons of force......lol. That's almost nothing at all. Might as well not have even worked.

I have no idea how sensitive the equipment would be that you would use to even detect that kind of force, but I'd imagine there's some easy error introduced. The theoretical concept sounds pretty neat, but I wouldn't hold my breathe on this being very useful.
