Right. BTW Kyle I only just understood what you meant by "no thrust when enclosed", you were talking about the whole system, not about the lifter per se as I initially thought! Same as Stephen's hens in the truck, the hens do fly but the truck doesn't get lighter (unless you drill holes in the truck's ceiling and floor of course :-) > This is really getting ridiculous.

Indeed. It would be like insisting that a helicopter doesn't work by pushing itself against the air, it just doesn't make sense scientifically. But I guess it does make sense economically for the people who make a living on promoting the more mysterious hypotheses :) Michel P.S. If it can convince anyone that lifters are interesting but well understood technical objects rather than mystery stuff, I enclose a lifter engineering guide (27 kB pdf, it might just about make it to the list (40kB max total)), share and enjoy. P.P.S. It hasn't gone through after an hour (in spite of OE telling me the whole message was only 39kB) so I am reposting this with a link instead (would have given it earlier but Blazelabs site was temporarily down), if anything was unclear do ask: http://blazelabs.com/Multiwire-plane.pdf
