The VEM Drive (Variable-Electro-Magnetic Drive) is an invention by Space Warp Dynamics LLC that claims to distort space-time and thus creating an attractive force upon a target using frequencies in the VHF band. The experimental setup was replicated and tested at the Institute of Aerospacee Engineering at TU Dresden. We conclude that no anomalous force was present within our tested power levels and balance resolution some 6 orders of magnitude below the reported claim. The interaction of the high frequency with the power supply that was controlling a voice-coil actuator for teh balance was found to be responsible for a faciity side-effect that can mimic such an effect. This is important to consider foro future measurements.
