This is in line with what I described earlier on the vortex. The major difference is that I give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that perhaps there is additional energy imparted upon the ions by LENR action. The axial magnetic field would tend to make the ions flow in a rotational mode which would induce the circular current within the conductive piston. If you do not have a current flowing in such a motion I think there would be inadequate force applied to push the piston. Note that the symmetry of the charge flows without the field would balance out piston current.
So the main question remains...does LENR activity add to the electrical energy from the capacitor bank to make the device real of is the entire thing a scam?

Hybrid cars are essentially electrically-boosted gasoline vehicles. I think of thermonukes as fission-triggered fusion weapons, at least in the Teller-Ulam design. Who knows what's really out there.
