Two things come to mind. The physical configuration of the Static Displacement Field Drive Propulsion System looks very different from the you tube examples of the Ion propulsion devices. At present it's difficult for me to see the similarities - not that there aren't! Perhaps it was the

Two different techs. The Biefeld-Brown Effect provides thrust by ionization of the atmosphere with an asymmetrical capacitor and does not work in a vacuum. The EMdrive actually derives thrust (albeit small) from microwave radiation and does work in a vacuum.

Ah! The Biefild-Brown Effect. Forgot what it was called. So, this is different. Thanks for the clarification, Terry. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson svjart.orionworks.com zazzle.com/orionworks
