   I have an electro-magnetic propulsion device in my back pack. It is   
   a maglite torch with two 1200 mAh NiCD batteries inside. For extra   
   delta vee I have a couple of spare battery sets stored with it. But if   
   I ever need a rocket engine a quick blast from a nitrogen bottle would   
   be a better way of rocketing around the sky.   
      
   This device, like any other length of wire with an AC current in it is a   
   radio transmitter. It will emit EM radiation and if it emits more in   
   one direction it will tend to accelerate _slowly_ in the other   
   direction. There is no way it could support itself against gravity. Even   
   on a small asteroid.
