Well, being in Aerospace yourself I gotta ask? What's your "take" on the status of OUR Anti-grav tech? Been interested in all forms of flight since childhood, and I'm of the opinion we've already got such tech.
No chance. I've been privy to study papers going back to the 1970s, but nothing material has resulted. Some concepts would seem to be technically infeasible from the outgo (massive rotors at high rotation rates).
NASA worked for some time on an "EmDrive" (a supposed reactionless electromagnetic drive) but couldn't produce more than millinewtons of force, which was later determined to be smaller than environmental noise. Meanwhile, the Russians have released information on a similar gadget that produced 100 newtons/kilowatt, so they are in the lead. You still have to factor in the specific power (kW/kg) of the power source.
I actually understand what you’re stating and am familiar with the EmDrive experiments. I live near Oak Ridge TN and believe they gotta be working on that power source; whether it’s E-115 or cold fusion. There are stories about spinning mercury and energizing it to create a space bubble etc…then you gotta control it. I dunno…it fascinates me is all. -Tx
