Several QVF based prototypes are currently under construction or being tested at the moment in my dinning room. In my opinion Woodward's and White's approaches to propellantless propulsion are just flip sides of the same GRT/QM reality.

Can you share details about the desired characteristics of each layer as well as the desired thickness of each layer?

The M-E delta-m optimized layer needs to be a high-k dielectric like the Y5U barium titanate material Woodward is using and the other layer needs to be a low-k material designed to maximize the Lorentz vxB force needed to bulk accelerate the M-E optimized layer. The thickness of each layer is driven by the acountical wavelenght of the drive frequency in the mateirals in question and the desire to minimize destructive pressure wave interference between them.

Interesting read from New Scientist, on what gravity actually is. (Einstein and Newton only describe it, of course). The researcher invokes a "holographic" paradigm."Like the fluidity of water, gravity is not ingrained in matter itself. It is an extra physical effect"http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20527443.800-the-entropy-force-a-new-direction-for-gravity.html

Flux capacitor. Sounds cool, makes no sense.

Sounds cool, makes no sense. However, given the fact that it messes with time, I could see how it does "flux" and "capacitor" simultaneously.Humor aside, the phrase "Flux Capacitor" makes very good sense when taken in its proper context. A Mach-Effect (M-E), Mach-Lorentz Thruster (MLT) "Flux Capacitor" is an energy storing and processing capacitor structure that has a B-field flux vector running through it at right angles to the capacitor's internal E-field vector. These time varying and crossed E- and B-fields in the capacitor dielectric create a longitudinal, (parallel to the thrust axis), Lorentz vxB force used to create the dE^2/dt^2 power flux in the capacitor and bulk accelerations of the capacitor needed to create the M-E inertial mass fluctuations, and also to force rectify these M-E derived inertial mass fluctuations into a unidirectional force. Just as a reminder, these transient inertial mass fluctuations used in M-E devices are based on the Mach's Principle assumption that inertial mass is due to the gravitational interactions of all the mass/energy in the causally connected universe with a locally accelerated and energy verying dielectric mass. The act of accelerating the local mass transiently shields the local mass from its cosmologically derived and gravitationally coupled mass/energy source, which is measured as a mass magnitude transient in the local accelerated mass that is simultaneously undergoing a power flux. Yes I know that description is rather long winded, but the M-E straddles Newtonian Physics, SRT, GRT, Mechanical, Material and Electrical engineering disciplines, so it takes a bit of descriptive effort to encapsulate what we think is going on. And yes, Woodward contiues to obtain supporting data for his M-E conjecture in his latest Shuttler test series. Data that he will be reporting on next month at the Space, Propulsion & Energy Sciences International Forum - 2010, to be held at the John Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory.http://ias-spes.org/SPESIF.html
Is the inertial shielding of the mass due to the acceleration of the mass, or the "time rate of change of acceleration" of the mass?The energy change of the capacitor over time (E= (1/2)C*V**2, where V= voltage on cap) appears to be unrelated to the mass shielding effect?

So to create a transient inertial mass fluctuation you have to concurrently produce both a dP/dt and acceleration signature in the local mass simultaneously. The third order derivative of acceleration called jerk is not required, but if present would amplify the basic mass fluctuation effect.

My energy flux is solely due to the acceleration, as my energy at any instant is E=(1/2)m*v**2 in the presence of a velocity that is changing at each instant.
Paul,Do you think there is any chance of getting any serious official support now from the new 'game-changing seeking' NASA ? Seems to me you are being hindered by lack of materials science support, wouldn't it be nice and much quicker for your research if you just gave out a dielectric spec for a hybrid part and someone just went ahead and made it for you free of charge !
