V2, negative inertial resistance - Pseudo negative mass. Take a pencil, and wind 2 coils around it a few mm apart, pass a DC current such that the coils attract each other.
Next increase the size of the pencil until the distance between the 2 coils is about a light second apart that is one big pencil. Then let's see what happens as the pencil accelerates from a stand still, the rear coil sees it is now closer to the front coil as it sees the previous location of the front coil, hence it is more attracted to the front of the pencil. The front coil as it begins moving initially sees the old position for the rear coil it sees that it is further away from the field, this reduces it's attraction to the rear of the pencil. Hence there is now an imbalance and the coils have a net force in the direction of acceleration. This will offset some of the inertial mass of the pencil/coil setup. A simpler version could be 2 permanent magnets in attraction being accelerated together along the axis of the force between them. This could make for an extraordinary space drive. It could by considered a variation of a photon propulsion scheme since accelerating magnets would likely radiate just an accelerating electron would. As such it would not violate Newtons laws or the conservation of energy. And the energy would seemingly be tapped on an atomic level from the permanent magnet. This could be a superb space drive! If the mass is low enough and the field intensities great enough, the inertial mass would seem to turn negative, it would not resist acceleration.
