I could dig up similar quotes about PC's, the airplane, electricity, the car; pretty much any tech that doesn't conform to the current version of "normal".
Ok, but if such an amplification cavity exists and is in use, then why cant we use it? At least for proof of concept. Set it up, turn it on. If it shoots out the ceiling, yay. If not, oh well. While cars may be a pipe-dream for now, other things aren't.
At a calculated 3+ tonnes a KW, that's a lot of lift. A large platform with several of these strapped to it would be able to float something into space or in to high atmospheric orbit.
Launching a LEO rocket from the equator at 100,000 feet up takes a lot less propellant than launching it from sea level.
Alternatively, floating cities. Or weapons platforms. Or power generation.
In a more far fetched idea, how about a "staircase" of such platforms leading into space, each at a slightly higher altitude. With a cable tethered to each one, we could have a kind of space elevator or teleferic.
This isn't like fusion, where its always "20 years away". We literally have sci-fi future tech at our disposal right now. And we aren't doing anything with it...
For non-science majors, this can be compared to repulsorlifts in Star Wars. So while they cant really move anything, they can make stuff float. So a vehicle with one of these pointing downwards would float off the ground. Then a small jet or prop would propel it at speed.
I really wish something like this finally got off the ground: http://emdrive.com/ Microwaves in one end, thrust out the other.
.
Q. How can the EmDrive produce enough thrust for terrestrial applications?
A. The second generation engines will be capable of producing a specific thrust of 30kN/kW. Thus for 1 kilowatt (typical of the power in a microwave oven) a static thrust of 3 tonnes can be obtained, which is enough to support a large car. This is clearly adequate for terrestrial transport applications.
It's possible to create heat pumps without electricity, but that technology is not commonly used. I'm not sure why, but there's probably a good reason. I suspect complexity and/or reliability.
Because its the electrical companies that put in all the R&D money....
You say that yet provide no quote or link!
There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.
Cant they make some sort of picocell (sp?) for these people? Leave it outside or in a window with view of the sky, and then use encrypted walkie-talkie tech to link the base station with the handset.
Not cell phone, Satellite phone. For quite a while they were tapped into BinLadens phone. Then some dumbass senator wanted to show off, so he told everyone about it.
Its a bit odd, but it too can be construed as a message of peace.

Since everyone else is taking credit, I might as well...

The same way we keep them from getting an arsenal of handguns. We let anyone who wants one have one, then it doesn't matter.

For those that want to make chainmail, (the metal stuff knights wore) I make and sell a very cool tool for that:

You don't need to be made out of metal to want to terminate humanity.....
Is there a gif of that somewhere? I think I get how it works, but its a tad puzzling from just that pic.
Farther proof that Google and tehir world tubes is help making us all geniusii!

RTFA, looks like a giant penis...
They want to steal it and copy it, not evaluate it.
Heh, maybe right now in 2010 they arent. But go back 150 years and that is EXACTLY what we we doing.
Yeah, but they did it with software. He's saying once that can no longer be done, the hardware route is the way to go.
Thats because the internet is something that I can control. Broadcast TV is simply not for me.

Didn't Amazon say that they would no longer remove books remotely?
Thats the whole brilliant point. Everyone spends all their time blasting him and forgets about wikileaks. Its security by misdirection.
Quickly now, shut up before they hear you...
How about we just stop letting Uwe Boll direct videogame inspired movies.
