Yep, send 'em over.

TBH I'd be prepared to believe it if they were using something like a balloon to generate the 1g lift required for 'hovering', then imparting a small additional thrust using this 'Biefeld-Brown effect'. But actually lifting non-buoyant solid bodies, I don't think so.

"Maplins " sell them :£32.95

 

Someone get the theory behind how it works and post it up. There is no point in debating if its real or not till someone at least gets some science for us to read

 

Saxo Boy - I've spent weeks (no..months!) trying to find the science behind it on the 'net and various books and have concluded that nobody knows at the present time.

Therefore, seeing a working model is the next best thing surely

Boeing are curently testing a small protoype craft on the these principles. Tests are not going well.

Cant tell you how I know cos the NSA would come and get me with there Ray-Bans and black suits on.

Besides if NASA was involved it would level a strip of Texas 3 miles wide and 125 mile long

 

yep, had an email conversation with a chap from BAE stating that they are also working on research along these lines.

 

Neil, YHM!

 

OK, after more digging around - latest update, this appears to be real indeed Interestingly enough BAE are working on a similar research under "Project Greenglow".

Now have an invitation from a chap in Essex to view a fully working model, so Carl - when you free?

Some debate over whether this is Ion Wind theory, as, at the present time nobody seems to know how this works
