Here is a link to a telling a little bit more       > about it. Please excuse the title its about ufo's.              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.       --       Michael Smith       Network Applications       www.netapps.com.au | +61 (0) 416 062 898       Web Hosting | Internet Services              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
