Hi Jerry,
Another problem in this "experiment" is that when an object gets charged up
to any high potential it leaks off into the local space and there is never
enough charge concentration to lift anything that has much weight. De
Seversky had this problem so he made a large open space structure that he
charged up so the ion wind would act as a repulsion mechanism much like a
rocket ejecting mass instead of trying to use a concentration of charge to
act as a lifter.

Tell the guy to prove it! Sounds like he's never done the proof of
principle to me.
