SCI NASA Veteran’s Propellantless Propulsion Drive That Physics Says Shouldn’t Work Just Produced Enough Thrust to Overcome Earth’s Gravity

Socks in the dryer come to mind.

This may be the REAL reason for all the unpaired socks?

Publish everything and let the world tear it apart.

Or.....prove it out.

That's how it's supposed to work.

This^^^

Note that the electrical charge means this is better thought of as a repulsion drive, not a propulsion drive. The "propellant" is the object it is repelling. If this is used to leave the earth, then the earth is the propellant, and it works only as long as the earth is close.

How much electricity is needed for 1 second of thrust?

It's really not useful, if it requires enough electricity to power NYC, just to get it off the ground for 10 seconds..

IMO, the existence of long-secret technologies is now slowly being hinted at and/or revealed.

So you wonder when the flying saucer tech will finally be revealed?
(Mark McCandlish, before he was murdered, had some pretty detailed explains of the tech, aka flux liner)

I also know of a few people that have seen a flying ship up close and personal, back in the 70's.

So there is no doubt in my mind that it's real. It's just a matter of how it works, and if we can apply it for good and not evil.

Not buying into it... Sure, it may be able to lift 30-40 grams of it's own mass, but that is not lifting the power supply that is producing that High Voltage EMF to get that lift. It is also demanding that there are some atoms in the mix that can be charged to create ions that will be ejected with force to create the resulting force (in this case, lift). The seemed perplexed that under certain conditions the system did not need additional input to keep the force going:

It's not violating the laws of physics, it is showing that the device is acting like a very high voltage capacitor with very low leakage (very few atoms being changed into ions for continued thrust. Think of it the same way as two magnets that have like poles facing each other will keep "hovering" for as long as the magnets keep their strength. It still requires the magnets (both of them) to be "there". If you get rid of the atoms completely in the equation, and/or get rid of the other surface that the charge is acting against, then the lift stops.

Again, not buying it. If they want to play around with this, let them waste someone else's money and time. There is a reason why all of the "ionic thrusters" that have been built need some type of "feedstock" to go into the HV "apparatus" to create decent "thrust". Without the feedstock (usually helium, argon, or some other gas), you are not going to get the thrust needed in space, much less enough to get TO space.

If they are basing this tech off of gravimetrics, then the propulsion has something to do with the field generated around the vehicle, changing the physical characteristics of it per say.

So basically, making the vehicle and it's occupants, lighter than air. (changing mass on the fly)

At least that's how I have seen it explained, roughly.
(I know it has to do with electromagnetic fields, but that's the best I can comprehend in how it works.)

And knowing that the universe is electric, gives more plausibility to that.

But as for this nasa tech they are talking about, idk if it's remotely the same.

Is this the beginning of impulse drive?

Could someone lend me some libian plutonium for my flux compensator?

Think you’re probably basically right.

Supposedly this principle is how some of the UAP stuff operates. Assuming this is not all bunk...

Does it work with scrith?

WHY IS “The most important message to convey to the public is that a major discovery occurred,”



MAYBE I COULD GET IN ON THE GROUND FLOOR,



MAYBE, ANOTHER APPLE.

I was under the impression that the Enterprise's impulse drive was ion thrusters. An ion thruster has already been used on an actual spacecraft mission.
