The wing charging system on a B52 is not anti-gravitics. It's something else entirely.

Also please give me an explanation as to why the B-52's cost so much when using regular (currently accepted) tech?
At any rate, the explanation is fairly straightforward, although the physics is not. It affects detectability and flight characteristics through straightforward physics that we stole from the Russians in the 60's. I'm not about to post it in the open due to having got in trouble about that in 2004. I'd consider pm'ing it to you if I knew you better, I have done that for a few other posters in the last B2 thread.
If you were astute, you could probably look at the setup and guess for yourself - what DOES a very very highly charged wire in front of the wing do? Ignoring the "lifter" dreck, that is. What is the nature of a highly charged wire? What does that cause?

Physics is physics stolen or not once proved it would become fact. How in the world could you have gotten into trouble for explaining it to someone?

It was TS. In 2004 no-one had heard of it, and I'm read on to the project. It's downclassed, but I haven't been released from the NDA, although I have seen parts of the system described in Janes and a couple of websites. So it's one of those things that's out NOW, but at the time it was not at all. We had a...sort of private military/contractor forum running in the dead threads of another web site at the time where we were trading ideas about each other's projects, it got caught, heads rolled, this was one of the topics. If you didn't know what we talking about it would have been nearly impossible to follow but still, we shouldn't have done it.
If it was just this one project, wouldn't be an issue (much) but there are a number of derivatives. The B-2 wing system was sort of a third stab at this. The first two were radioactive coatings.
10. A method for decreasing the electromagnetic and longitudinal wave transmission properties of a gaseous medium adjacent a surface comprising providing a body having a surface capable of generating or reflecting electromagnetic and longitudinal wave energy and coating onto said surface a radioisotope material for producing an ionized plasma adjacent said coating for decreasing the amount of radiated energy passing through said plasma.
11. A method for decreasing the wave transmission properties of a gaseous medium adjacent a surface as set forth in claim 10 wherein said coating is selected from the group consisting of Polonium 210, Promethium 147, Curium 242, or Thorium 204.
Another principal object of the present invention resides in the provision of means for injecting momentum energy into a fluid boundary layer medium (gaseous or liquid) surrounding a moving vehicle to cause local alteration of the boundary layer with a consequent reduction in the local and mean skin friction coefficients, thereby increasing the maximum velocity and/or maximum altitude attainable by the vehicle. By the so-called concept of "blowing boundary layer control" it has been demonstrated that the thickness of the natural boundary layer may be increased, with a resulting decrease in the skin friction coefficient, by means of injecting a foreign gas at a relatively low velocity through a porous surface into the natural boundary layer, thereby causing its thickness to grow by the mixing process which results between the local stream fluid of the natural boundary layer and the injected gas. By the present invention, the same result is achieved by means of the injection of high energy particles or energy quanta, i.e., small particles of mass at high velocities, into the natural boundary layer.
...
In accordance with these objects, the present invention envisions the injection of energy quanta, e.g., alpha, beta or gamma particles by the application of a thin paint-like coating of a radioactive energy emitting substance, such as a radioisotope material, to a surface of a body to generate an ionized plasma adjacent such surface for the absorption, refraction and diffraction of electromagnetic and longitudinal waves propagating through the plasma, as well as for the energization of the boundary layer adjacent such surface with a consequent reduction in skin friction when the surface has relative motion with respect to a surrounding fluid medium.

His may be detailed, but it's all fiction. If detail was reality, then we'd live in the world of Robert Jordan.
