If I recall, isn’t this just another rehash of the “EmDrive” thing? The EmDrive was already proven to not work, at all. And now this “Quantum Drive” that supposedly works on the same principle.

No. The EmDrive and QI have literally nothing in common. QI or some form of it is supposedly how this drive works. Being a pure electric drive to me sounds like they are using electrons to do something. EmDrive used microwaves. So far as I can tell, the people who compare this to the EmDrive don't seem to understand how the EmDrive works (or doesn't work for that matter). If they start mentioning microwaves and a chamber, I will immediately retract this statement, but pure electric and QI have nothing in common with the EmDrive.
