You got all that from "looking" at it?
Why are you pretending as if all the stuff you are saying is a fact and that is all there is to it?

I would suspect anyone who tries to tell you they ARE real. Tell me, has LaViolette ever been able to produce any experimental, reproducible evidence of his 'antigravity' theories? No? Hmm...

Well, I got a real good look at it.
It is a fact. "All there is to it" encompasses a whole new field of aeronautics and EE, it's a bit like watching a Saturn V go up and say 'that's all there is to it - it's a big firework', or looking at the ocean and saying 'that's all there is to it - it's wet'edit on 26-3-2013 by Bedlam because: (no reason given)

And what if he said he had... and others said they had seen it.. would you believe it then? Would anyone? Of course not...
We have seen lifters and people still refuse to believe it.. things like this can't be proven unless you actually produce a full fledged flying craft and even then people would still refuse to believe it.
These groups are probably actively suppressing him from doing just that as well... he would probably be dead if he wasn't so high profile.

This is what we call 'anecdotal evidence'. All he's got to do is publish, and give the data needed to replicate the experiment.
This is what we call 'science'.
If I say 'oh, I had the magic one-off non-reproducible anti gravity device, but MIBs broke in and stole it just before the big demo', then we have a The Dog Ate My Homework event, TDAMH for short, which is the hallmark of free energy and antigravity scamsters the world over.
Ion wind is old stuff. And as I said, very inefficient, very poor, very low thrust, doesn't work in vacuum so not good for spacecraft as is. In space, you'd have to rig for particle acceleration and then you'd call it an ion engine. But the thrust is still very small. Why would you want one? You might as well whine about the suppression of rubber band technology.
Or he's a huckster.

It depends on which technology you're talking about. If you're on about electrogravitics, then yep, it's full poo poo all the way.
This thread, however, is about how plasma affects aircraft, and it's a great field, big thing in the future, wonderful tech, wish I could tell you all about it.

That all costs BIG BUCKS... and eve then the journals likely wouldn't accept it. Look at Randell Mills of Blacklight power. Look at what happened to cold fusion when it was discovered. A journalist at MIT said they deliberately suppressed experimental data showing there was something to it then the journalist from MIT was murdered when tryign to bring this info public.
This is what we call 'science'.
Actually it's called big business.
Have you ever considered things like cold fusion and electrogravitics have been kept secret so long specifically because they are so difficult to "prove"?
How can we know this when no one can get money to test it fully? Just because it can't be proven by guys tinkering in their garages doesn't mean it isn't possible. In fact from the info I have seen I am certain it is possible.
I know he's not.. and I suggest people here not listen to people like yourself on this and explore this information. The government has everything riding on keeping this secret.. if you don't think they could keep people from figuring it out you are terribly mistaken.

Really, if it could be made to work experimentally, LaViolette would be up for a Nobel. I'll wait and see if he's nominated.

People like yourself would have said plasma actuators were full of poo poo too until they were revealed publicly. By your logic the government can't keep technological secrets because they would all be published in journals...

It's been out for quite a while, just that it's sort of fringy and wasn't really addressed for aerodynamic modification until the late 90s. It had a lot of issues at first. The B-2 was the first functional retrofit in the US fleet.
Before THAT, it was used to augment stealth capabilities.

Your entire premise hinges on one person being able to - figure it all out.
John Lear's dad was hyping antigravity publicly in the 50s... why do you think John Lear might be so focused on talking about aliens now rather than what his dad or the government developed? What better way to discredit what his dad said back then than to having him talking constantly about aliens now..?

You just explained how it could be kept secret.....

Szilard didn't figure out the entire nuclear program, he just came up with a conjecture about chain reaction and some physics to show why it might work, and that set the whole thing off.
If LaViolette's physics looked plausible, I'm sure it would be the same. If it looked bogus, no one's going to bother.
No one's bothering.
Maybe John and his Dad have a lot in common. I actually like John, we used to have a lot of back and forth when he was here. I am still convinced he gave us a ride once when I was in the Army, he was in the right place doing the right thing, the time is off a year or two, but when I saw his photo back in those days it really looked like that guy. Who can say.
At any rate, maybe he doesn't talk about it because there wasn't anything to talk about.

If you can do it at high temperatures and pressures you might be able to increase engine RPM and thus power and maybe efficiency.
Nick Cook said in his book The Hunt For Zero Point that electrogravitics made aircraft slip through the air like a bar of soap slips through your hands when wet... Imagine that same principle used in an engine..
They probably have some way of avoiding this problem... maybe that's what HAARP is for.... shoot it at a certain geographic location and you can create noise to allow your stealth craft to go undetected. Something like that... It could have something to do with frequency as well.

I'm not convinced there is any actual thing called 'electrogravitics'. The plasma actuators are plasma physics, fluid mechanics and Maxwellian electrodynamics.
That doesn't seem to make alot of sense.
