It is basically the equivalent of being on a sailboat with a fan blowing into the sail and having it actually work.
It bounces microwaves around in a closed chamber and produces propulsion.

A group at NASA’s Johnson Space Center has successfully tested an electromagnetic (EM) propulsion drive in a vacuum – a major breakthrough for a multi-year international effort comprising several competing research teams. Thrust measurements of the EM Drive defy classical physics’ expectations that such a closed (microwave) cavity should be unusable for space propulsion because of the law of conservation of momentum.
