No need for all that high tech stuff, Jones.
The capacitance equivalent of 1.0e-11 coulombs/kg to set up an electric
dipole field oscillating at around 22.5 KHz demands a capacitor designed
for 1.0e-8 coulombs/tonne at 10,000 joules (0.5 CV^2 minimum energy).
Borrowing from Terry's experience with MUFON on the CompuServe
"Encounters" Forum, a can-within-a-can craft with a vacuum dielectric
(easy to get good vacuum once you get into space) operating at a 1/2 megavolt potential
(more or less) is snap to design.
Q = CV = 1.0e-8 coulombs With required E = 10,000 joule = 0..5 CV^2
Setting V^2= (500,000)^2 volts (at 0.2 meter spacing for 2.5 million volts/meter E-field)
C = Q/V = 1.0e-8/5.0e5 = 2.0e-14 farad.
Trial: E= 0.5 * 2.0e-14* 2.5e11= 2.5e-3 joule. Way too low, need to increase
capacitance by 4 million times to 8.0e-8 farad.
C = 8.0e-8 = 8.854e-12 x Area/0.2
Can-in-a-shell Area = 8.0e-8 x 0.2/8.854e-12 = 1810 square meters of super-light can-in-a-shell
material for the craft.
Volume?
With CAD you can home in on it. :-)
