I am not sure a virtual current needs to be invoked until a real
one, which would point to a mundane ion wind effect, has been ruled
out. Can you measure the current delivered by your flyback GOB?
Note that when the ping pong balls are added, suppressing external
ion breeze, the direction of rotation changes from that when an ion
breeze is made.
A real current, consisting of only electrons, can not produce a net
thrust in a vacuum. It is only the effect of a gradient on the
virtual current that can produce true net thrust. BTW, I don't think
that is a Biefeld Brown effect is it? Isn't his effect based on DC
capacitors? I'm not up on his stuff.
Some data from the web site regarding current follows.

Thruster on the next two videos are measured out. Measured data:
U=25kV DC, I=0.04mA, P=1W, F=3.77mN, electrodes are 13cm from
centerline (arm=0.13m):
full15.wmv (2.1 MB)
full16.wmv (2.2 MB)
full17.wmv (5.4 MB)
full18.wmv (4.1 MB)
halfclosed1.wmv (2,6 MB)
The next thruster (presented in video `halfclosed1.wmv`) is put into
a grounded Faraday cage, and still works! It works in Faraday cage as
well as in insulated cage. This is the prove than it is no an
electromagnetic effect:
faraday1.wmv (1.8 MB)
Data of this thruster: U=25kV, I=0.08mA, P=2W. Whitout hermeticall
box, with ion-wind, it makes 55 rotations in 1 minute.
