A time-varying Electric Field around a Multipole might act as Tachyons if the "legs" are sequenced in the right manner.
The electrostatic induction effect from this might also allow lift from a
planet or moon,
as well as generation of a force field, "cloaking" and "Warp 10" FTL travel.
Try this three-point device next Sunday?

"Tachyons are a putative class of particles which able to travel faster than
the speed of light. Tachyons were first proposed by physicist Arnold
Sommerfeld, and named by Gerald Feinberg. The word tachyon derives from the
Greek (tachus), meaning "speedy." Tachyons have the strange properties that,
when they lose energy, they gain speed. Consequently, when tachyons gain
energy, they slow down. The slowest speed possible for tachyons is the speed of
light.
Tachyons appear to violate causality (the so-called causality problem), since
they could be sent to the past under the assumption that the principle of
special relativity is a true law of nature, thus generating a real unavoidable
time paradox (Maiorino and Rodrigues 1999). Therefore, it seems unavoidable
that if tachyons exist, the principle of special relativity must be false, and
there exists a unique time order for all observers in the universe independent
of their state of motion.
Tachyons can be assigned properties of normal matter such as spin, as well as
an antiparticle (the antitachyon). And amazingly, modern presentations of
tachyon theory actually allow tachyons to actually have real mass (Recami
1996).
It has been proposed that tachyons could be produced from high-energy particle
collisions, and tachyon searches have been undertaken in cosmic rays. Cosmic
rays hit the Earth's atmosphere with high energy (some of them with speed
almost 99.99% of the speed of light) making several collisions with the
molecules in the atmosphere. The particles made by this collision interact with
the air, creating even more particles in a phenomenon known as a cosmic ray
shower. In 1973, using a large collection of particle detectors, Philip Crough
and Roger Clay identified a putative superluminal particle in an air shower,
although this result has never been reproduced."
