Aircraft

[Deesse23]

Aloha AF:

I met a retired airman who was once stationed at Edwards AB. He said he saw a small aircraft, silent without an engine or a propeller, take off and fly like any other airplane.


My guess: they used static electricity in the form of charged plate capacitors with glass as the insulator/dielectric as a sort of engine and controlled it using electromagnetism as thrust.


What you say?

I say, i am an electronics engineer, Msc., since the mid 90s, and i havent laughed so hard for a long time (probably since the early 2000s) reading this tread. No offense intended.

Originally i had prepared a much longer, much more detailed evaluation of T.T. Brown and his "antigrav" research as well as the basics of capacitors and forces involved. But then i told myself: "Dont do that to yourself, please".

So, in the end what can i say? If you are interested in electricity, by all means keep studying, and you may overcome the "Mt. Stupid" of Dunning-Kruger and realize how naive you were.

As i said, no offense intended, but there is almost no polite way of telling someone how ignorant he is.
