Way back when multiple people apparently replicated the capwarp successfully, reporting their results in Vort.
I recall one guy even made a capacitor using the pages of a book as the dielectric and claimed results. http://amasci.com/caps/capwarp.html Well now there is a fascinating claim that a segmented circular capacitor is at the heart of "alien reproduction vehicle" demoed at an exclusive airshow in the 80's made by the US military contractors, much inline with what Ben Rich, second director of Skunkworks has said, that we have built the craft to go to the stars already. And General Wesley Clark, the kind of brass who might have attended an air show like the one in the following video has said when he was running for president that his only faith based initiative is that FTL travel is possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM8YsBiOw1c This second video has more of McCandlish , and the second link points to a part where an HV cap loses all weight, tried by a college student. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUVoWlSHkg4 especially from https://youtu.be/SUVoWlSHkg4?t=2709 In an old Rex Research infolio I bought in the 90;'s, there was an account of a science fare project by a Doyle (or Boyle?) who made an HV cap with polystyrene insulation, and it lost weight, but unlike Brown's research, it lost weight no mater which pole was up. I also read about some of Brown's work where he distinguished between some portion that was directional thrust, and another portion that was a straight weight loss. I can expand these correlations further but this is enough to show that there is likely something to this. While he magnitude of the effect seems to be dependent on the material used as dielectric (ironically heavier is better) and the capacitor being circular and perhaps segmented. John
