Resume: The inertial thruster paper made me consider a few things that I'll just throw out there for consideration and comment.
1. Energy extraction seems much easier than a thruster in that there is no need to organize the orientation, I was confused by the papers on rigid cavities in a weak gravity field that claim the acceleration is always opposite to the gravitational field but I suspect that without gas atoms oscillating between molecular and monatomic states the cavity simply represents a protected harbor that is unable to contribute to the external field always subtracting from the net field without any orientation. 2. This made me reconsider my suggestion of bulk materials for the thruster in that all plates must be somehow aligned to contribute in the same direction which would be difficult in bulk (maybe an electrical or magnetic field while in suspension) and if achieved would need to be baked in order to maintain the orientation against any inertial thrust extracted. 3. this brought me back to considering the non quantum field that plates are amplifying into an organized quantum effect. The basic force that every element exhibits which according to the Puthoff model keeps the electron from falling into the nucleus. This would mean that without vacuum flux all matter would condense into a solid and that we should consider all mater as a "membrane" being "inflated" into an equilibrium point between electrical attraction and this vacuum force inflation provided by flux permeating through the membrane. I will go out on a limb and say the flux is pushing through the membrane of the "present" trying to get from the future to the past. snip I have been continuing to read papers by Puthoff, and others relating to ZPE, and some others relating rigid cavities to gravity and have some questions about what is the common ground. I take it that my relativistic theory is not common but how about the source of the plasma - Does the mainstream agree this is from gas atoms falling to lower energy states as molecules or compounds regardless of where we believe the disassociating energy is coming from? Am I correct in assuming that all those theories focused on an intermediate energy source between fusion and chemistry still see the plasma as an oscillation between associated and disassociated gas atoms? I know we all have our pet theories on how we think that vacuum flux can be the source of disassociating energy but for now just trying to establish what they have in common. I make these assumptions easily despite the spectrum shift away from hydrogen because Doppler shifting is not hard to imagine with a relativistic theory.
