Thinking back after she told me this.I realized those one cup servings in a bag had appeared around that timeline.So protect your ideas.They were simple people not knowing anything.She did not realize how to protect her idea.Or how to fight in court.She was busy raising a whole bunch of kids most of her life.I am not worried about the idea I presented here.I hope its used some day.triffid

@triffid,
Good thinking.  You're probably right, from your family's experiences.  The car windshield wiper, as an invention,  was stolen from the rightful inventor and a movie was made about it.

But, I think(?) I said on another thread that President Eisenhower signed an executive order that allowed the CIA and other agencies to look at all patents and then classify those that had national security applications.

Homeland Security may take a dim view of Jerry's invention, since it, the spaceship, could certainly have the potential of being turned into a terrorist weapon.

I think using sunlight to power our near future flights in space(until someone comes up with something better) is the cheapest way to go for now.Solar sailing is not so bad(there is a propellar designed ship out there now(in the works)),when folded up it's the size of a large golf bag.I saw this design on a u-tube clip.
Remember too that sailing ships on the seas used nothing but wind and ocean currents for thousands of years.No shame in solar sailing until we come up with something better.Triffid

Let me help with the solution.

the aerogel lens facing is made with LASER optical elements that amplify the photo pressure just like the process of a ruby LASER, there is a Semi-mirrored coating over its surface to reflect photons back into Aerogel LASER optical face. so in a sense the photo pressure is doubled and the Photon Pressure is released coherently.

this is the setup without the LASER defense system installed which is in the center and uses the photon pressure from the photodischarge chambers to focus the LASER light at a distant location, it is only a defence weapon.
