Reactionless Force

[dmonarch]

I was wondering if anyone has tired charking an asymetric capacitor with goal of producing a reactionless force.
Apparently the effect occurs at the fringes between two different dialetrics. I Wonder if it would possible to have a capacitor with three metal plates. One on either side and one in the middle. Use two different dialetrics one on each side. Charge the capacitor and reactionless force would appear at the center plate. Is the force a result of the energy not being able to go anywhere and if so by having the metal plate in the middle you should be able to collect it using the center plate.
I will be giving this ago after christmas. It seems a valid area of investigation

Direct dialetric contact

It would appear direct dialetric contact is required after doing a little test which is a bugger. I dont know how you would use it then

In a different forum someone was discussing a certain book that got published in September and contains what you're talking about. It might be the source to your information but regardless here it is...

I personally haven't read it so I don't know the details of dielectric behavior.

Thanks for the link

Thanks for the book link. It looks promising

This sounds like the Biefeld-Brown effect from the 1920's. Discovered by Professor Biefeld, TT Brown did most of the research, and filed the patents. The effect is accentuated when a tapered dielectric is used, including a particulate gradient.

Here's my favorite example:

Some people say that there is a reaction against the environment. However, since the thrust array, in this case, is stacked, it would seem to rule out external forces.

Brown also had a patent in England, in which he states that the force produced can be as high as a million times the input power:

Brown had quite a few interesting patents:

Here's NASA's recent patent. This lends credence to the concept:

For this type of reactionless thrust to be most effective, I think the pulses should be longitudinal, rather than normal rf.
