does this mean frictionless ground transportation aka hoverboards are possible in the future??? that would completely take away America's "island edge". It cou

  He does not have a working prototype, or even a detailed schematic. For a low energy use, it's like a graviton thruster, that has the same theoretical efficiency than a photon thruster, but the conversion will make it much more inefficient. And a photon thruster is just like a lamp or laser at the bottom of the vehicle. If has a very small force, and is not enough for an hoverboard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_rocket https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_rocket For high energy use it is more interesting, because using General Relativity instead of Special Relativity makes the calculations more complicated. I'm not sure there is something interesting here, but in any case you need a device that produce as much energy as a star, a big star. The generator of a carrier is not big enough to get all the energy you need to consider if there may be something interesting.
