I’ve heard of this years ago, and I teach basic electrical theory. I’m not an expert in electrical static discharge, and I can’t validate his work, but I can give my “dummy english” explanation of what I think he’s doing.
I’m hoping everyone here has rubbed a balloon and felt their hair stand up. Static charge can build up on an object, positive or negative, and they will repel like charges, which you’ve also probably done with a balloon. My understanding is they build massive repelling charges on the same fixed object, and off-balance them so electrostatically, compared to the local frame of reference, the object is impelled in one direction. Electrostatics at small scale can obviously defy gravity (ever pick a charged piece of styrofoam off your shirt?), but scaling and exceeding the frame of reference have always been the failing points. You can build huge potential to move with charge, but you need something to move against, in general. The charged styrofoam needs you to move your shirt to move in the previous example.
Did nobody else see this was written by a FUCKING SCIENCE FICTION AUTHOR?
The flags are there, and they are red.
I gave the article to gpt 4 and it said nothing and simply generated this image…
I asked if it was bullshit too and it said. 'Given the current understanding of physics, it’s highly unlikely. Extraordinary claims like this require extraordinary evidence, and until such evidence is thoroughly vetted and confirmed by the wider scientific community, skepticism remains warranted.
this patent site has descriptive diagrams & results :

Strangely I did not see the diagrams’ descriptions.
Well, kind of yes (or yeah…).
But everything about this is now an oversimplification since science can’t describe it properly now.
This image is a simplified schematic describing one of their devices made with the intent of creating an asymmetric electric field which according to the inventors would be somehow related to the trust which they claim they have measured.
There are maybe around 20 of these images included in the patent for which I gave the link and I decided to put one of those images in my comment so users could have an intuitive idea of what their devices could look like … which is completely different from the bogus image in the post article.
Daily reminder that the troll face used “ra-e rodent” as a reference and is a symbol used by pedophile rings to identify each other.
I’d be willing to bet that the blinding majority does not use it as described, nullifying the premise of your theory. In any case, the more we use it, the less useful it’d be in your alleged use case.
OK you know and are doing it on purpose. Gross.
EDIT: Yep and here comes the pedo brigade, right on time.
