Background:
in the late 1880's michael faraday was researching electromagnetics. during a demonstration a piece of metal was thrown across the room when he turned on his device. not knowing what to make of this the term 'electric wind' was attached to the action.
in the same time frame nikola tesla was also working with electromagnetics, and built his famous coil, and gave us the induction motor. he also had something he called free energy.
in the mid 1950 thomas townsend brown was researching gravity and magnetic pole reversal. he built several small discs that he could make hover through the use of some type of electromagnetics. i have seen a video of these discs and it may still be available for viewing on the web. brown also built a larger disc to demonstrate to an english/french consortium as a possible use of a flying machine.
the problem brown had was a power source capable of generating enough energy and yet small enough to fit inside a disc. fission reactors were in use but were very large. fusion was unheard of at the time.
the same reaction from an atom bomb takes place but at a slower rate in a reactor.
fusion reaction has been unable to be maintained...however there is a possibility of direct conversion antimatter reactor, thus providing enough energy.
Speculation:
my general thought is that given the above information could there be some relation between all the various items i have mentioned to produce a very large directed emission of electromagnetic force sufficient to lift an object? there may be available a specially doped metal that a device could be constructed from which would allow this charge to be rapidly deployed and used to power a lifting body.
i do not know enough math to be able to figure out if this could be done.
