Hi, Here's a variation on a theme. An atom may be seen as a small spherical resonant chamber, with infinite Q, with EM energy in it. In that respect it looks like one of these drive units, except that it wouldn't develop any force because it is symmetrical. If placed in a severely asymmetric intense electric field, the atom may however deform, becoming somewhat oval. Now we have one end bigger than the other, and a force develops in each atom within the field. All pointing in the same direction. Because the Q is effectively infinite (or unmeasurably large), the force would be considerable, even for a small deformation.
Lo and behold, we have a thruster as described by T.T. Brown. :) Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://users.bigpond.net.au/rvanspaa/ Competition provides the motivation, Cooperation provides the means.
