Hello Dylan,
I do so hope you mean "wondered" and not "wounded".
I did as you asked, I read the abstract and I also scanned various sections as per topic. I noticed that they used air and glass as a dielectric. Also, the Faraday cage experiment was interesting and the results of which do not surprise me in the least.
I did notice that mathematical relationships were established, rudimentary to say the least. I further noticed that they were using DC and not AC. The reaction of a High Voltage capacitor in producing movement must account for ALL frequencies of which the absence of any frequency is 0 (zero) and must be accounted for and should be used as a base to establish base parameters. As to the math as said, the relationships are rudimentary but conclusive and when I had mentioned this to Trickfox that it is not as complicated as he was making he refused to accept it. Here is documented proof from 2004. I used to say to him that a base needed to be established with DC first to understand the effect itself. Utilizing AC as a power source would come after and then that would begin the complicated part. Nice to see some corroborating work to substantiate what I have said.
I also noticed that they established that the smaller the area of the plate, the smaller the force result and the higher the voltage required.
They could have gone much further.
I also noticed that they started with 12 volts and ramped up using a Cockcroft-Walton configuration to achieve higher voltages for the experiment. It should be noted that these types of multipliers are known for interjecting AC ripple in that they are primarily a half-wave device. This unto itself introduced an AC component which will alter the actual results from DC. The purer the DC they result will not be what they achieved.
I did find it curious that they are not sure exactly what the force is but their conclusions are in the right church.
Using several different configurations (single, parallel and grid with the exciter wire) is respected as well and the results of those experiments proved the differentiation between a Gravitor and a lifter.
I never saw this article before and thank you for the find, it has served to reinforce what I have been saying.
