I used to think radiometers were a good idea but I realized they wouldn't be good for generating lots of energy.

I don't understand how dismissive the mainstream is of this experiment, which deserves at least some earnest debate without being shouted down by naysayers. Photon energy is known to have some momentum effects in some situations, and devices like the photometer show this undeniably.

How is it any different from a radiometer? One side gets heated up, hot air expands pushing the device forward a tiny bit. Radiometer uses ambient light an Meme drive uses microwaves but they both produce the same effect.
