Fascinating. They make it clear that the device is still a prototype. Hope they 
can pull it off. Thrust being 100-500 mN, I'm guessing that's the approximate 
weight (thrust) of a piece of paper as measured at the surface of Earth. Sounds 
similar to NASA's ion thrusters already in use on a couple of satellites. Very 
efficient.

 

Why is it that Americans always round down the prices of their products with 
"9" nines, as if they think the dollar amount will look cheaper to the 
prospective buyer than if they used a bunch of zeros. I've heard many parts of 
Europe don't practice such silly accounting tricks.

 

I'm curious. Does this technology violate Newton's Third Law?
