I recommend this as a good summary of the subject. http://www.jerrypournelle.com/chaosmanor/winding-up-the-impossible-experiment-reports/">http://www.jerrypournelle.com/chaosmanor/winding-up-the-impossible-experiment-reports/ Drives like this have been floating around the aerospace world for 50 years, and it is good to have some perspective.

Thanks for the link. It is interesting to read about. Thanks.
You are welcome. Like Pournelle, I would be delighted if one of these things worked out. I just want to be sure it actually works.
What about more common usage, as in automobiles to reduce carbon emissions...? Surely it wouldn't just be limited to space travel.
