Basically you have two plates that are separated from each other by a dielectric. You charge both plates with a timed pulse such that one is positive and the other is negative and that will cause the whole assembly to surge in one direction. Do it with the correct frequency and you can achieve lift theoretically. Also, if you shift where you are stimulating the plates you can bias the lateral direction and achieve lift and thrust at the same time.T. T. Brown, who patented the "Flying Saucer" in 1926 said that you control the flight when you control the +. I can only think of electromagnetism.
I've seen some stuff about viktor grebennikov that is in line with electro-magnetism and beetle wing shapes that can create EM anomalies that allow for flight. Weird stuff! but the T. T. Brown is more along the lines of what I've heard about dielectric stress and it uses the idea of pulsed, compression of a dielectric with the end result being lift. I think it is really just inefficient way to fly but would be useful in no-atmosphere situations. The thrust accomplished wouldn't drop off with speed, nor would a reduction of propulsion medium reduce efficiency. I meant to try to replicate the results but true to my ADHD I just never focused resources on building a model. I wanted to just create a real hover board.
