Thanks for posting this,
Why do you think they don't mention the Vendor that is Building the Coil? [unless I missed that ??]
Thanks

Possibly for the same reason they chose the flexible funding option.

The construction of the main magnets has been entrusted to four companies: the French consortium Alstom MSA-Jeumontfor 1/3 of the dipoles, the Italian Ansaldo Superconduttori, 1/3of the dipoles, the German Babcock Noell Nuclear for the remaining 1/3 of the dipoles and the German Accel for the whole of the main quadrupoles. It is worth remarking that all these companies are involved in other important LHC projects and in particular Alstom produce more than 40% of the supercon-ducting cable, Ansaldo two types of corrector magnets, Accel the big wide aperture quadrupoles for insertions [6] and BNN isinvolved in cryogenics and logistics contracts.
So it seems like it could be any one of several companies.
Although additional issues are raised with regard to cryogen boil-off, it seems odd to me that "Thruster V1" was not tested more rigorously at facilities capable of testing similar to the EM Drive tests (NASA, etc). If that little V1 thruster worked as claimed, it in itself would be an astounding, game changing discovery. Less money could be better spent testing and confirming the operation of V1.
It seems odd that all the videos showing V1 being tested appear to be in anything but magnetically sterile, draft free environments.
As well, some of what was stated in the promo (and the way it was stated) thru up a few flags for me ...

Almost the same set up from 2012!

I don't understand how it is using the Lorentz force for continuous propulsion when the Lorentz force only applies to a dynamic or changing magnetic field.
There could be many other factors causing the effect they assume is from propulsion due to the Lorentz force that have not been fully eliminated.
