This will be the next step.
That said, this is apparently at least the third time a propellant-less thruster has been successfully tested.
It is by far the most notable this time because it is NASA.
It sounds like they don't really understand the phenomenon but it works.
I agree that they should build one of these things and attach it to a small satellite and see if it works in practice.
