Well we're off on the right track... I wanted to let you all know what I believe are two fundamental technologies which we need to get our minds wrapped around if we wish to succeed in building a viable craft.
The first is the concept of Radiant Energy...of which Tesla spoke, and Edwin Gray termed "Cold Electricity"....
I am in the process of building a collector system for radiant energy, but if anyone has any insights...please post them. From what I understand, the free electrons produced when a high voltage arc jumps from one electrode to the other are collected and supply much higher energies than "normal" electricity.

slow motion lightning video if you don't understand what I'm talking about.
The second technology that we need to understand is magnetic rotation sustaining...I'm not sure how better to say that.
I've succeeded in making a fairly self sustaining system, but when you try to extract work from it, it will slow down, which has been the problem historically with machines of this type....in any case we need to understand and visualize the spins of the magnetic vortexes if we are to succeed in this endeavor.
I think Howard Johnson is the closest so far....

So expound shall we?
