Default Advanced propulsion technology? Or BS?

According to:

"the Chief Technical Officer (CTO) of the Naval Aviation Enterprise personally
wrote a letter addressed to the examiner claiming that the U.S. needs the patent
as the Chinese are already “investing significantly” in these aerospace
technologies that sound eerily similar to the UFOs reported by Navy pilots in now
well-known encounters. This raises the question, are the Chinese developing or
even already flying craft leveraging similar advanced technology and is the Navy
now scrambling to catch up?"


"the unorthodox circumstances surrounding the approval of this patent have us
wondering why the Chief Technology Officer of the U.S. Naval Aviation Enterprise,
Dr. James Sheehy, personally vouched for the legitimacy of this beyond-
revolutionary aerospace technology in the Navy’s appeal to the USPTO. Sheehy
assured the patent examiner in charge of this application that the aircraft
propulsion method described in the patent is indeed possible or will be soon based
on experiments and tests NAWCAD has already conducted."


Are we on the verge of a revolutionary advance in propulsion technology? Or is
this some sort of military disinformation campaign?

If the latter, what would be the purpose of such a campaign?


I posted on this in sci.physics, copied below.

It's very technical. The PTO did actually do its best to reject the
patent, pointing out that the energies and magnetic fields required are
orders of magnitudes higher than currently achievable, and that the the
magnetic field requirement is multiples of that produced by a neutron star.

The Navy concedes that it cannot be currently be built, but appear to be
concerned about work the Chinese are doing in this area (I kid you not).

Ultimately, it seems to have been granted on the basis that the patent
office cannot prove that it won't work, in the face of theoretical work
that suggests that it can, but which clearly has not actually been
tested because of the energies and magnetic fields involved. There is an
appeal to quantum mechanics, but no mention of the fact that the lack of
reconciliation of quantum mechanics with gravity means we know that that
something has to break at some point.

Go to the Image File Wrapper tab. Be prepared to waste a lot of time.

In the mean time, I have a free-energy device that I'd like the Navy to
fund.
