Thanks Tyson.  I am actually letting the physics professor of a major university here in the U.S. advise me.  Evidently we hit the ball a little further out of the park than I had comprehended.  After some CYA stuff I will post back to the forum.

Magumbo,  Thanks for updating here.  Hopefully this is not a case similar to a movie I once saw with Meryl Streep in it - I think it was called Dark Matter.  If I recall the student or colleague was more brilliant than the professor and the professor either wanted the credit for what the student/colleague had discovered or was wanting to suppress it so he wouldn't have to deal with the embarrassment of having a student come up with something better than he could. 

   Just remember to cover yourself as well as any ties you have with others.  Hopefully the outcome allows you to post the info here as I'll bet there would be people here willing to try building such a fascinating device.  .  I've always wanted an anti-gravity platform

Hi Jerry,
With respect to the drawing in Reply #25:

Wouldn't the electrons impacting the rear part of the thruster cause a thrust-cancelling kinetic energy effect on the whole thing?

If the rear impact part was electrically conductive, would the inevitable electrical resistance cause inefficiencies?  Unless the thing was superconductive?
