I wonder if anyone actually understands how gravity works yet. Just knowing that would be huge. My guess is the patent is invalid because nobody actually understands it and there is no detail of an implementation as such. The patent attorney has enough language skills to baffle the patent clerk, however.
There were rumblings of an actual device a while ago - I don't remember what came of it.
The theory does seem plausible, changing energy into a massless thrust, but the reality of it is only good for long range space craft, as the acceleration - while positive - was very tiny.
Thinking that this is some sort of anti-gravity device is horseshit. Nothing electromagnetic can produce enough thrust - even directed - to compensate for even a tiny mass under gravity.
In space, when sending a craft to Pluto and beyond for two years, a 0.1mm/sec2 acceleration eventually adds up to a big number.
I do think by the time us deplorables hear about an interesting technology, it has already been developed or thrown away.
Most correct.
Like when NASA was given the two spy satellites from the 1990s, with the condition that they could never be pointed at the earth. (in case NASA wanted to see what 20year old technology could really do LOL)
By the time things become public, the current technology is miles ahead.
