keep up the good work buddy !, question - is there a formula to determine the shape/dimensions of the cavity based on the frequency of the microwaves ?

Look on emdrive.wiki, there is all information you will need. You will find a spreadsheet made by TheTraveller which checks for various resonant modes.

That is actually smaller than I though. Imagine if you scale it to the size of the 

Rocketdyne F-1.

The inventor claims that a superconductive cavity could hold a car against its gravitational force with only 3kW of power. The cavity does not need to be big. The size depends on the frequency. I don´t know which frequency band works optimal. Most builds use 2.4 GHz as it´s easily available with high power in the form of a microwave oven magnetron.
