“The aim is to approach and exceed unity,” he explained, “which means the article would generate enough thrust to lift itself in Earth’s gravity, and that’s defined as 1 gravity of thrust.”

Buhler says they commonly measured the forces in milliNewtons, but they prefer to describe the thrust in terms of gravity since that is the ultimate goal of propulsion physics.

The nice thing about overcoming gravity is that the force can be very small and achieve that. If you have to state in absolute force, then you can compare it to other tech. and see that it's garbage (or not).

Regardless, if they can do thrust that runs entirely on solar panels, it seems very useful in space for minor course corrections without using up limited fuel.

TLDR:

All that to say the EM drive has achieved greater than weight propulsion output.

But he doesnt even mention the source tech that is over a decade old now, until the last paragraph. http://www.emdrive.com/

They point out to 2005, with other sources referencing 2001.
