Yep! Thats the one!
Except that no one has found any errors in his calculations except to say "Doesn't work! IMPOSSIBLE!!!" (bit like the 100 octane threads really
)
Interesting to see that an independant body (College of Astronautics,Northwestern Polytechnical University,Xi′an, China) has claimed to reproduced the test results and validate that it adheres to quantum theory.
I'll try to find the page I read by one of the Nasa experts a few years ago which was something like "Interesting, It goes against everything we've held to be true but we'll wait to see if anything comes from it, Not going to expend any resources on it" (My wording not his)
One of the detractors main points is that effect couldn't be reproduced.
Would be cool if it turns out to work!

Marc Millis, the engineer behind NASA's programme to assess revolutionary propulsion technology accepts that the net forces inside the cavity will be unequal, but as for the thrust it generates, he wants to see the hard evidence before making a judgement.

Thought I read a direct quote from the guy a while back but do not have the time nor inclination to look futher
More important things to do!!!!
