    Yes, methods:

    1) Lower the impedance of the dipole

    2) Increase the current

    And are those things difficult to accomplish?

    Firstly, you have to match the impedance of your "dipole" load to the RF
    source and to the transmission line.

    There are ways to lower the impedance of the radiating element, such as increasing the diameter (which lowers the Q as well). Copper tubing is
    great. For impedance matching, a transformer will work. You also need a
    balun, as explained before, and there are simple, slick ways to realize
    a balun and impedance-matching transformer all in one, using
    transmission line or antenna stubs.

    However. Simply more current isn't going to solve your problem. The
    velocity of charge carriers is just as important. You can have high
    current drifting lazily along the element, and it won't give you vXB
    force. You need to know the bulk drift rate of the electrons. You also
    need to know the current distribution along the dipole.

    Silver wire isn't an answer. Element RF impedance is determined by the
    geometry of the element. Metal conductivity has less to do with it.
    Plus, "wire" (presumably thin) is going to give you high impedance and
    high Q. Also, google "skin effect".

    What you are building is basically an antenna. Antennas are not known
    for producing force, if you hadn't noticed.

    Then there's the unbalanced coax feed blooper, which you don't seem to
    realize.

    Any vXB force is applied between the dipole and the magnets, not
    externally, and that's your foremost miscalculation.

    Your RF half-cycles are still canceling out all your alleged force.

    I can't see why you are even using RF. Can you explain that? A DC loop
    in 'n out the B field would work just as well, being infinitely simpler.

    A TV picture tube has an electron beam, guided by vXB force using the
    magnets in the yoke. Shouldn't that produce thrust? Perhaps you could
    just use a TV picture tube for your space propulsion system? As a side
    benefit, it would entertain the astronauts all the way to Mars.

    I realize you can't answer any of these points, but your retorts are
    endearing.


    And you're saying those cost too much to try to use?

    You have to read the entire www.asps.it site and you will find
    explanations of why what you say is only partly true.

    Yes the dipole impedance must match the impedance of the circuit, but
    then also the circuit must support high currents at high frequency
    (432MHz) for our V-shaped dipole, and electronic components that
    support 432MHz with high currents siimply *do not exist*.

    The components we use just *melt* after one hour of functioning at 250
    Watts, so it is not possible for now to feed the circuit with higher
    currents.

    If you find another way to increase currents I will be happy to pay
    you for the explanation.

    No, I'm sorry, I don't have to read the entire site. I looked through
    the neolegesmotus site and pointed out a few flaws in your plans, any
    one of which is fatal. You and Laurenti are unwilling or unable to
    discuss the technical aspects, so it's justifiable to dismiss the whole
    charade as either a troll or a scam.


    Yes the dipole impedance must match the impedance of the circuit, but

    What components? You've been asked that before and you only evade.

    There are lots of 250+ W transmitters and antennas, from HF to
    microwave, that work just fine for years without downtime. Cell sites, radio/TV, radar, so forth. That's a crappy excuse. You are after a
    Nobel, yet you can't even operate an RF signal source?

    If you find another way to increase currents I will be happy to pay
    you for the explanation.

    Forget irrelevancies like increasing current. Your quest is doomed to
    failure already. You can't build a simple experimental setup, let alone
    falsify newtonian mechanics. Extraordinary claims, etc.

    Here's my technical advice:
    Get an honest job.
    That will be 5o. Thank you, come again.

    high Q. Also, google "skin effect".

    Any vXB force is applied between the dipole and the magnets, not

    Your RF half-cycles are still canceling out all your alleged force.

    I can't see why you are even using RF. Can you explain that? A DC loop
    in 'n out the B field would work just as well, being infinitely simpler.

    A TV picture tube has an electron beam, guided by vXB force using the
    magnets in the yoke. Shouldn't that produce thrust? Perhaps you could

    Yes the dipole impedance must match the impedance of the circuit, but
    then also the circuit must support high currents at high frequency
    (432MHz) for our V-shaped dipole, and electronic components that
    support 432MHz with high currents siimply *do not exist*.

    The components we use just *melt* after one hour of functioning at 250
    Watts, so it is not possible for now to feed the circuit with higher
    currents.

    What components? You've been asked that before and you only evade.

    There are lots of 250+ W transmitters and antennas, from HF to
    microwave, that work just fine for years without downtime. Cell sites, >radio/TV, radar, so forth. That's a crappy excuse. You are after a
    Nobel, yet you can't even operate an RF signal source?

    If you find another way to increase currents I will be happy to pay
    you for the explanation.

    Forget irrelevancies like increasing current. Your quest is doomed to
    failure already. You can't build a simple experimental setup, let alone >falsify newtonian mechanics. Extraordinary claims, etc.

    Get an honest job.

    Yes, methods:

    1) Lower the impedance of the dipole

    2) Increase the current

    And are those things difficult to accomplish?

    To lower the impedance of a dipole fed at high frequency is not so
    simple, one would have to at least use silver wires, at least.

    Firstly, you have to match the impedance of your "dipole" load to the RF
    source and to the transmission line.

    There are ways to lower the impedance of the radiating element, such as
    increasing the diameter (which lowers the Q as well). Copper tubing is
    great. For impedance matching, a transformer will work. You also need a
    balun, as explained before, and there are simple, slick ways to realize
    a balun and impedance-matching transformer all in one, using
    transmission line or antenna stubs.

    However. Simply more current isn't going to solve your problem. The
    velocity of charge carriers is just as important. You can have high
    current drifting lazily along the element, and it won't give you vXB
    force. You need to know the bulk drift rate of the electrons. You also
    need to know the current distribution along the dipole.

    there is no way to convince with words those who do not see the pnn tests
