electromagnetism - Has NASA confirmed that Roger Shawyer's EmDrive thruster works?



This article states:




But somehow, despite all of the reasons it shouldn’t work, it does.


Scientists at NASA just confirmed it.



Now in this question - it is strongly suggested that this doesn't work.



So at best, Shawyer has invented a very inefficient and expensive fan.



Even further - this answer states:




Shawyer's "analysis" is a mess, incoherent and deeply confused about fundamental aspects of relativity.



My question is: Has NASA confirmed that Roger Shawyer's EmDrive thruster works?


Edit:


There may be an answer here. I just don't know what it means.


Edit #2


I don't believe this is a duplicate of the other question - as it is not clear how much to trust NASA's engineers - or what their comment actually means.



Answer



No, NASA has not confirmed that. What NASA has confirmed, again, is that it has some rather nutty folks working for it.
