   Disclaimer: I don't think this device works at all but if it did. I am   
   sufficiently confident in the conservation laws that my first question   
   on seeing it work (after checking for invisible fishing line or cgi)   
   would be to wonder from what source the motive energy is being drawn.   
      
   (It's never tachyons. It would be cool if it was tachyons, except   
   for the whole "universes with tachyons may not be stable" deal)
