http://www.gravitycontrol.org/pdf/jbisZPE.pdf and think there is a
loophole regarding propellantless propulsion where his statement
that the center of mass must remain constant can be broken by use
of a secondary mass contained inside the primary mass but with a
different temporal co-ordinate – inertial frame. That is to say
that you can move your spaceship with vacuum engineering of gas m
olecules along an axial coil made of changing Casimir geometry.
For whatever reason molecular gas opposes changes in energy density
brought about by changes in nano geometry while atomic gas does
not. This property allows us to use the gas molecules like
“etheric” oars in one direction while repositioning the oars for
another pull by either removing the suppression or disassociating
the molecule to unbalance the inertial reaction. I am not creating
something that “thrusts” against space time but rather am varying
the inertia of the gas in alternate directions. This creates a
needed displacement where the nano geometry center of mass resides
at X,Y,Z,T while the gas center of mass resides at X,Y,Z,t’ . The
gas molecules oppose change in energy density and must be forced
through the changing geometry while being kept cryogenically
cooled to prevent disassociation – essentially the tail is wagging
the dog instead of employing the chaotic nature o f flux on gas in
suppression to produce energy we want to use energy to drive the
suppressed molecular gas to interact more strongly with the flux/
temporarily changing the inertial properties of the gas in one
direction.
IMHO the Rossi, Mills, Arrata energy anomalies are all INITIALLY
based on ashless chemistry where changes in this nano geometry are
enough to disassociate heated gas that is kept near the threshold
point by extracting thermal energy in a carefully balanced
reaction. The initial heating doesn’t effect the balance because
the oscillation between h1<>h2 is endless and only limited by the
migration speed of the gas relative to changes in geometry inside
the cavity. Propulsion however requires keeping h2 from
disassociating whil e driving the gas through suppressed geometry
in one direction while returning it in the opposite direction
without suppression. Two axial supression coils on the length of
the outer hull of your spaceship with a common return in the center
would negate any rotational forces.
