Again I state that big ships are necessary for morale, not to mention all the extra capability that they can afford. Mission flexibility would be greatly enhanced by a 'solar system exploration ship' that can go anywhere in the solar system. Without getting into the fuel debate, Podkletnoff's disks if stacked with some distance between them and multiple stacks show potential for inertial damping. Since according to Dr Ning Li we are talking about 'electrogravity', a kind of right hand rule/left hand rule intersection of electrical and magnetic forces to obtain a gravitational force at sufficient energies amongst themselves, then living between the stacks will afford the ability to damp the acceleration of propulsion drives capable of multiple 'g' forces. Think about how a motor works with reverse and forward EMF. ElectGrav flow, or EG flow should be no different. And whilst we think about that one lets chew on a new 'standard model' not based on 9 or 16 fundamentals, but realize the possibility of other fundamentals present in a now unknown new standard model 'cube' or hypecube instead of a square.....27 instead of 9 and 256 instead of 16. Think about it! Advanced societies that have observed us derive their abilities from ....somewhere! Back to inertial damping. This would free us from being shackled to limited 'g' force tolerance in manned craft if the above were feasable now or in the future. Dr Li, I understand, may have returned to China. If she has, it won't be the first lost opportunity because of short sightedness. The ghost of Dr Hsein stalks the forwardlooking scientific establishment of that land, and while some of their technology may have been 'borrowed' from the west, I feel that much of it will prove to be their very own. Dr Li sought to use superconducting rotations at the quantum level in her implementation of Dr Podkletnoff's device. If this is so, the increase in effectiveness may be related to the relation of particle size to intensity and speed of ordinary chemical reactions. Makes sense if one views the universe in all its levels as a kind of giant fractal. Standing Bear copyright 2005
