Pretty cool. Reminded me of what this guy is doing, he calls it "orthosonic lift": https://youtu.be/kG6vXGidQbo https://youtu.be/kG6vXGidQbo Some more info: ht

I believe he has a couple of patents on the technology, but not sure he'll ever get around to making something practical with it.

The patent won’t hold. We have prior art from alien spacecraft for decades now. Most of our current propulsion and lift mechanisms are based on momentum transfer, which has many problems in air. His work makes me think there are a lot more efficient mechanisms to be discovered.

  okay; sorry. I was trying to compliment him on something I found interesting by alluding to it being alien technology. I took aeronautical engineering a long time ago, and I've never seen anything like this, so maybe it's just a foolish amazement.

This has many of the red flags for "technological" development that won't withstand scientific scrutiny.

  What flags, specifically?

  Have to agree, he sounds a lot like those "infinite energy" guys that were around a few years ago.

    Pretty much anyone over 40 doing a home video in their garage is going to come across like that. It's really unfortunate, but appearances do matter, a lot. In this case, besides the appearances, what the guy is demonstrating in the videos seems legit. Here's an earlier video where he explains what he believes is the effect at work, with a simple demonstration: https://youtu.be/I3g0CcLzC6I https://youtu.be/I3g0CcLzC6I It would be awesome if a youtuber like Steve Mould or Dustin from SmarterEveryDay did a video on this.

Just wanted to throw my opinion into the mix. I watched multiple of the videos he has listed and from what I can tell the phenomenon he is demonstrating is real and reproducible. Whether or not he's crazy, who's to say?
