Two things come to mind.
The physical configuration of the Static Displacement Field Drive Propulsion System looks very different from the you tube examples of the Ion propulsion devices. At present it's difficult for me to see the similarities - not that there aren't! Perhaps it was the visual crudeness of the devices produced including flat sheets of tinfoil, a wire, and an external high voltage device. What it's got going for it is that it's easy to build and demonstrate! BTW, The latter examples have been discussed quite a bit on Vortex in the past. Very interesting stuff that produced quite a bit of debate. I seem to recall that the final conclusion was that the propulsion will only work within an atmospheric environment because the device needs an atmosphere in which to collect random atoms to supply the necessary propulsion force. I may be wrong on this, but I seem to recall a test was finally conducted on one of these ion propulsion devices within a vacuum chamber and the propulsion effect disappeared. IOW, such a propulsion mechanism will not work out in the vacuum of space. Thus, it's not a space propulsion device. Does anybody remember the conclusions of that analysis? And are we absolutely sure the same physics is involved here? Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson svjart.orionworks.com zazzle.com/orionworks
