Default hyperdrive?


Here's the New Scientist article with more details:
http://www.newscientist.com/channel/...25331.200.html
Say, if this thing is to use a toroidal coil and a spinning metal disc,
wouldn't it be circular in shape?
And wouldn't its powerful electric and magnetic fields screw up anything
electrical it got near?
And since it was working in a detached area of hyperspace that it can
enter and leave by modifying its field strength...couldn't it sort of
blink in and out of existence in our dimensional matrix, and use the
shifted laws of velocity and momentum in its hyperspace field to
accelerate and decelerate almost instantly?
Hmmmm...are we completely sure no one has built one of these before? =-O


Is it just me or do the calculations suggest that a current of 2400A per
square millimeter is needed. I don't think there is anyknown super conductor
that gets anywhere near this.
