"So, Mars in three hours? As NS puts it: 'Dröscher is hazy about the
details', but 'suggests that a spacecraft fitted with a coil and ring
could be propelled into a multidimensional hyperspace' where 'the
constants of nature could be different, and even the speed of light
could be several times faster than we experience'."

Now, does this sound like something you should strap a test pilot into?
No, this is time to get the monkeys out.
Calling all monkeys! Here is another chance for space glory! ALL GLORY
TO THE HYPERMONKEYS!

....Yeah, this ranks right up there with some of John Keely's whacko
pseudophysics. Next thing you know, someone'll start claiming they can
use the "Big Bang" background radiation as an unlimitless power
source.

Well, a AAA alkaline is an "unlimitless" power source, so....

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

I mean if you're going to pull the Freedom-of-speech card, don't be a hack, come up with something interesting. Fashion Old Glory into a wisecracking puppet and blister the system with a scathing ventriloquism act, or better yet, drape the flag over your head and desecrate it with a large caliber bullet hole."

Nah, we all know that the only thing they had was that goofy Sack AS-6
thing: http://www.luft46.com/misc/sackas6.html and possibly the BMW
Flugelrad autogyro widget, though I think that was pretty doubtful:
http://tanks45.tripod.com/Jets45/His...Fv1/BMW-V1.htm
....but have a model of anyway, as it looks neat.
I sorta doubt they had access to superconductors either.
Still, the description of this new gizmo sounds like a flying saucer in
basic concept and looks.
