I don't see how this is suppose to be a reactionless drive.
(If it generates and puts out microwaves isn't it a photon drive in the microwave freqency? I understood it was propellent-less using light momentum like solar sails do, after all the EM spectrum includes visibile light,microwave and RF) Given that it gives out 50 millinewtons or whatever compaerd to the 200 odd of a ion drive I guess it would have a diffrent regime than big thrust drives much like ion.
