If anything you have said here is true, why is it not critical for you to go back, get the designs and recommence your experiments..?? On the one hand you have an idea that could change the world, but evidently it's not important enough for you to cut short a 2yr job abroad..?! What is it you actually do..? What is your current occupation exactly..?? And why is it so difficult to replicate something you have been passionate about since the age of six, without the original designs (that you yourself developed)..?? Sorry if nothing you said adds up...

Is the warp drive opening up a portal (as tiny it may be) to the spiritual realm? Or the evil spirits simply don't want me messing with that stuff?

I'm fairly certain that what you have managed to build is a simple magnetic field that acts upon the entrapped electrons in the plastic bag. Like others have said, it's no more complex than a grade school science project.
I would not recommend that ANYONE create this circuit with a flyback transformer, or any other HV power source. The OP's stated fire risk comes from the fact that there is not enough resistance in the circuit to keep from smoking the whole thing.
To the OP- since you have a great deal of curiosity in the field, I suggest that you do some research into lifter experiments. You might find that a more rewarding pursuit.

Have you tried working in a field related to your passion (E&M)? Don't underestimate the value of your practical experience derived from experimenting with magnets and building high voltage sources. This could land you a well paying job. You would be free to continue your research while also gaining additional valuable experience at work.
It may be difficult to get the online community excited about your experiments because you are competing against a sea of noise. My advice is to let go of the fear, pursue your passion, and enjoy life. Temper your ambition with a sense of joy found from doing what you are passionate about. 100% or 0.1% realization of your ambitions are both better than doing nothing due to fear or ridicule. If you are able to contribute something, such as this thread, then you have a right to feel good. You are staying true to your purpose.

I sincerely hope you continue in whatever field you feel you're going to get the most reward from. If you believe the torment to be something you can't endure anymore, then find something else you are equally interested in; however if you have the mental fortitude to carry on through the inexplicable, then push on with all of your being. Sometimes the greatest achievements are those that come with the greatest sacrifice... Don't be afraid to push your limits. Certainly don't listen to the baseless negative remarks of the simpletons.

I'd suggest you do as much as you possibly can with regard to your research, and then try to source investors/sponsors to further develop your ideas.. Make sure you're able to communicate in laymans terms how your ideas relate to real world problems and maybe you'll find some supporters.. Where there's a will ~ there's a way, good luck to you..!

I tried but none materialized. It was wishful thinking but truth is that I am simply unqualified for the industry. What I know is extremely specialized - just enough what is needed for the warp drive but it is not even remotely enough to land a job in such fields.
I don't mind doing unrelated jobs just as long as the job will get me settled down. I have yet to find such opportunity. I may get settled down in my current job but it will take years, realistically speaking.

Thanks for the encouragement! I used to feel that way. I don't mind doing it myself with my own money. I never really spent any big bucks for it. It wasn't necessary. I've always found a way to do things cheaply. I don't mean to boast but I'm incredibly talented at improvising. It's just one of my very few talents, but not really useful until you come into tight spot
But this time, I have reached my limits. How could I perform my experiments in a small room (13 sq ft) I share with three other people? I couldn't even get a proper sleep will all the noise one of my roomates make. I already suffering from sleep deprivation. I couldn't just move out of the company-provided accommodation with free food and accomodation. I will not be able to afford the expenses.

OP I have to apologize I didn't see the info you posted on page 2 when I asked for documentation. I've been a bit under the weather with a fever so things are not in real time. lol
The info you posted is very limited for the purpose of someone trying to conducted anything worthwhile on their own.
Can you give more finite details and a step-by-step build guide?
The reason I say this is that your model appears to be in reach of plenty of people here on ATS, that most likely will attempt a build.
Thanks,
RT

13 square foot room? That'd be a square less than 4 feet on a side. With three roommates?
