|    Monopole Starship Drive: repost from sci    |

      From: eaglesondouglas@gmail.com              been along time posting. I was looking at the idea to use the magnetic field       of Sol's corona to do something cool. I truly pondered>              Basically the issue became a issue of a magnetic true power from the corona to       a body in the general sense.              I tried to figure out the meaning of the electric/magnetic right hand rule and       it appears the lowly electron is a true monopole.              To test this theory you simply need a simple six foot diameter spherical       aluminized Mylar air filled balloon. The trick is to place a five megavolt       battery powered DC power supply INSIDE the balloon. Any metal or thick       non-conductor will de-polarize the        assembled electrons magnetic monopole field on the balloons conductive surface.              And the meaning of achieving such an assembled monopole is that the balloon       placed near the corona will accelerate to 0.5c at the orbit of Jupiter.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
