Nothing is truly new. The idea of inertial drives has been around since
at least the early 1700s and was written up in many sci-fi and fantasy
stories in the 1800's as documented in Theo Paijmans recently published
Keely Book....
In fact, billionaire John Jacob Astor, who died on the Titanic, wrote a
book (Journey to Other Worlds) that talks about an apsidal motion to
produce thrust. There were many others long before Keely, Tesla and
especially those in our day.
Modern experimenters (primarily Cook and Thornsen though preceded by
Dean, Laithwaite, Kidd, Japolsky, etc. using gyrscopic precession
effects) realize a 'cycloid' motion that can be used to produce the
inertial effect.
Dan Davidson and I wrote an article a few years ago for the Tesla
Journal explaining how this effect could be engendered in mass as a Bose
Einstein Condensate, though without requiring cryogenics, to produce a
'mass aggregate acceleration' when all the atoms and molecules are
harmonically directed to one vector. We found it amazing that within
about a week of publication, there was a national press release from
Boulder that a Bose Einstein Condensate had actually been achieved using
cryogenics, theoretical up to that point...how timely, but they are only
scratching the surface of what WILL BE before we are through.
The trick is who actually put it to PRACTICAL USE....an idea can float
around for centuries and not be used...wonder why that is? Lack of
investors? Lack of confidence on the part of the poeple stating the
ideas to build and test it?
It's almost like that hundredth monkey business, only when an idea has
reached critical mass, where a lot of people are thinking about it and
directing energy into it, does someone get inspired enough to build the
model and test it...at first, its an anomaly, then a practical device,
then it becomes ubiquitous as part of our lives, having 'always been
there'.....just so.
