]]> <![CDATA[Plasma-Powered Hovercraft Patent]]> This reminds me of those electro-gravitic propulsionary devices, or asymmetrical capacitor 'lifters' as they're called. This looks like it may be using the same form of technology, only using water to pass the current through maybe?

They have been researching this for over 50 years now, and actually employ the technology on the B-2 stealth bomber, to allow it to all but shut off its engines and coast silently using this as its only means of propulsion.

The main problem with creating a standalone unit such as these has been with the weight of the PSU being too much. Mounting it on board the craft cancels out the lift it creates, so all designs I have seen have been rather small and tethered to a separate PSU attached with leads.

I think that guy sleeps in one of these.

Got quiet in here all of a sudden. I must be the only one left at work.
