Super awesome! I know the title is just catcy, but I would like to emphasize, nothing defies the laws of physics, only our current understanding until we do understand it

Hey I liked your presentation. I should admit to being neither a trained Mechanical Engineer nor a Physicist. But if the end objective is to get the benefits of F = ma, where 'F' is the summed vectors of 'a' acting on the mass, 'm,' there could be a cheaper easier way to do all of that without a fire. There are other equations around that have the vector 'F' in them, one such is F = ((m*v^2)/r) [or something like that?], ---- let's call this last vector f ---- for Huygens' description of centrifugal force. This equation involves spinning a mass at a uniform velocity in a circle and has several vectors associated with it; which can be summarized with the 'Right-Hand Rule for Cross Product of Vectors.' All of this last part has many industrial applications, some are prosaic and well-known. Cream separators that are used on a container of raw cow's milk as an example. One can imagine a (flexible tube taped to a cardboard wedge, say) circular tube or pipe that has water being pumped through it, then one might also imagine this circular pipe that could be folded along a rough diameter to about 20 degrees or so. So now the vector(s) f might be labeled as '2*f' as there are two independent vectors because of that 'fold.' Because of vector algebra, the '2*f'' part might now be labeled as f'' which written more fully becomes: f'' =2*(cos(10 degrees))*((M[the mass of water, [say, in each limb or approximate 1/2 circle of the tube that has water pumped through it]*v(the velocity of the water being pumped)^2)/(r-which is likely a bit shorter than the mathematical 'r' because we are dealing with physical objects here)). The pumping device could be a centrifugal pump, like is used in commercial or NASA type of rocket engines. Not new information by any means, as there are books written about this method of 'traveling through space without rockets,' maybe there is even a 'shorter version' of this book, so to speak. If you take this suite of ideas to one of its logical conclusions. Not as long-winded nor as expensive as the NASA versions (even if only used as an interplanetary method), but there you go.

We've been building these at home for years. It's just that we finally have a team of researchers with the proper equipment able to do the proper experiments now. A lot of us that have built these are limited in the amount of voltage and amperage we're willing to work with. I myself don't go above 30,000 volts. That's just because that's the biggest transformer I have. I made that from an old neon sign transformer that I modified and boosted. We've been able to build these for almost a decade and a half now the problem is that the power supply is not small enough to fit in the craft. You can't say it's a propellant list system because it's using the air around it as repellent and it's using the electricity as the oxidizer. This means that you still have to generate power and you have to have that power flow like fuel, energy flows like water, so that your system will be able to support itself off the ground. That's the problem right now. We've been able to fly these for almost 15 years on cables but we could never get it to fly without being tethered.

It's an in depth discussion with the engineer who is working with the lead researcher on the project. Their primary goal is to create something to keep satellites correctly oriented and positioned.

I built a lifter with my daughter for her school science project and one thing not mentioned here is the corona effect that accompanies the lifting effect as well as the fact that the force was higher at different distances between the plates which was not always closer to the
@Steven-p4j
I am endlessly fascinated in breakthrough research, however, when we come to the known variables to which we are limited, I would always seek evidence. Are NASA going to trial this in orbit or further? My considerable respect for the good professor suggests we need to rattle the cage of science now.
@tubularguynine
The Black Projects need to just come clean about the anti-gravity drives they've been sitting on for 70 or 80 years.
@relativityboy
Worried? Be excited instead. New physics is freakin' awesome!
@bombheadgames9565
An alternative to vacuum chambers would be to alter the air composition, if the thrust alters significantly its ion wind effects.. If not it might be something new worth further research.
@planetsec9
IVO's quantum drive test failed because the cubesat it was attached to failed according to them so they will try again next year I think, and Exodus have their own in-space testing planned iirc
@starfieldalpha
our understanding will grow and change with the new truths we uncover in time as we move ever closer to "TYPE-1",, there is life out there we have not even started learning from "YET"...:face-blue-smiling::face-blue-smiling::trophy-yellow-smiling::eyes-pink-heart-shape::eyes-pink-heart-shape::eyes-pink-heart-shape::planet-orange-purple-ring::planet-orange-purple-ring::planet-orange-purple-ring::planet-orange-purple-ring::planet-orange-purple-ring::planet-orange-purple-ring::planet-orange-purple-ring::planet-orange-purple-ring::planet-orange-purple-ring::planet-orange-purple-ring:
@PBandJTime
This is amazing. I really hope that this can be eventually developed into a usable propulsion system. In the mean time, I've been scouring the web, searching for a real theoretical propulsion system to put in the spaceship for my early 22nd century sci-fi novel, & I think that I just found it. This, coupled with a nuclear reactor as a power source. It's perfect!
@laserlight568
Nice assessment. It will be interesting to see further developments or proof of the concept. As an aside, the vacuum of space has energetic components, ala virtual particles that manifest and disappear, so that might need consideration as an enabler of the effect. Also, there is the solar magnetic field energy in the heliosphere that might contribute to making this affect viable. So, there are at least several potential energetic "catalysts" to explore using this phenomenon. This could be a ground breaking discovery.
@Orozco_PNW
Even if it is fruitless, I am glad research like this is conducted to just to make sure we don't overlook possibilities. A lot of discoveries were 'accidents', so I don't know why scientists try so hard to predict the unpredictable when it comes to possible new technologies and electromechanics?
@mb_ytc1
Charles admits himself that he’s not 100% sure what physical phenomena are at work here. One possibility could be virtual particles with mass. See dynamical Casimir effect, works of Hal Puthoff for example. Based on those, I’ve started with a thought experiment of building a propeller that would work in space. Because of lack of certain measurements (e.g. density of virtual particles, their mass, etc.) I’ve decided to test my idea, still not 100% convinced, but very encouraging. The link to the paper and a short presentation is on my channel. My testing continues...

Also if you want to get super technical about it we're already using this technology because it's the same damn technology as an ionic thruster. If you took his design and you cleared out a little bit of the styrofoam and past Krypton or argon through that channel you would have an ion thruster. . . There's a better way to make a pellet list drive. The reason I haven't built it yet even though I've had the plans for for over 20 years from the guy that designed it is that we haven't reached a material strength that's readily available for me yet so that the thing won't grenade. It actually uses a counteracting force in an egg shape to overbalance one side of The Craft. You're not actually beating gravity, you're throwing weights in a certain direction and frequency so that it counteracts the force of gravity below you. This is the only propellant list drive that I know works and was this paper was also one of the reasons why we have reaction wheels from nasa. It was written by a family member back during the Cold war when he was living on a military base, he was too young back then to have a job but growing up with everybody in physics in our family and having early chemistry sets he's a bit of a genius. Very eccentric but a genius. His design works the same way as his reaction will did better to higher volume and continuous frequency.. I've managed to render it on fusion and now I'm learning to change them together before I actually build my first one. Again it's stupidly simple, just like most of our advanced technology. The problem is it's also super dangerous and if one of these breaks loose it's like a bullet.
@RojieleHepburn
The key to understanding how to get from one planet to the next is based on the understanding of how electrons become free of an atom and has the energy to move to another atom! And from my research it seems you would need a source of power that feeds into a onboard electromagnetic motor: which then creates the electrostatic charge that is carried throughout the outer part of the aircraft body!
