Scott,
On pg 2 of your paper you state "The cavity does not move
itself; rather, the Quantum-Vacuum can move the entire five-sided cavity as
long as the cavity still exists." - I
Agree you create what Puthoff would call a "pressure" differential but IMHO the
"directional" force you are seeking would be equally distributed because what
you refer to as the quantum vacuum is 90 degrees displaced from the spatial
axis. I think your model could still fly but you need a 3rd body to interact
with these different energy densities you are creating. The analogy you make to
magnets is correct but third bodies could allow you to create an symmetrical
interaction with these fields- either to collect heat like the BLP and
proposed single atom schemes like the Casimir Lamb pinch, or exploit the
linkage and drive these 3rd bodies along an axis to produce thrust. I think
your present device would modify the inertia of any ambient gases/3rd bodies
present in your cavities but you would need to move the entire device or drive
the atoms through a continuous Casimir geometry along a spatial axis in only
one direction to produce any thrust. There was a British engineer proposing to
use RF energy in a pyramid shaped closed cavity to produce thrust - and Yes I
think there is a strong relationship between RF waveguide suppression and the
suppression we see in Casimir geometry such that we can "power" a change in
energy density at the macro scale - the delay in half lives of radioactive gas
atoms placed inside of waveguides leads me to this conclusion.

David,
I think you might find my propulsion project interesting. Here is a paper I
presented at the National Space Society Conference in Chicago this last May and
to the Natural Philosophy Alliance Conference in June. Please let me know what
you think and if you would like to participate. In addition to this approach,
I have also filed a patent on optical approaches to reflecting more ZPE EM Flux
from one side of a Quantum Sail than from the other side, since the refected
light imparts twice as much momentum as the absorbed-light, thus producing a
direct physical force from the Quantum Vacuum.

Subject: [Vo]:High frequency UV radiation = VUV
The special thing about 159 nm is that it is almost entirely absorbed by air
and ionizing it. Ionized air can be affected by other radiation to be heated.
Heating localized air around a body makes a push on it. I want to elaborate
with propulsion of this kind.
UV with shorter wavelenght than 159 nm is called VUV, vacuum ultraviolet, since
it can only exist in vacuum. It is absorbed by air. Very funny would be to have
tunable UV on the border between UV and VUV. The absorption rate would then be
adjustable and the radiation could pass arbitrarily far away ffrom the
radiation source. I want to heat air around an object as described in my arXiv
article on preventing shock waves. I think that the same technique can be used
to achieve propulsion as well and it could be the way that flying saucers
operate. They fly with apparently no moving parts and UV/VUV in combination
with heating could have the same effect.
I see that many vacuum UV lights can be bought:
