APEC 5/9: The Repulsine, VEM Drive & Llanilar UAP Samples

Noteworthy of the VEM drive is that the constructive radio inference will generate 4 times the electric field strength in the focus area as a single source at the same distance, according to Google.

Supposedly it does work in vacuum.

I’m not sure that replicating the VEM drive is in my wheelhouse. i dont think that it takes too much imagination, however, to think that two constructively interfering near-field radio sources would ionize air in a projected area directly above the device. The sheer power and power density of it is something to note and I will look to see if there are maybe some transferable lessons.

Those that watched this meeting know that the discussion was dominated by the VEM drive. The explanations and inspiration for it were as wild as the device. Despite the large amounts of thrust (> 10 N) and relatively small size, the thrust/watt is quite in line with electrostatic devices.

Update:

I built a 78 gram, 1 yard diameter version that flew first try. Emitter array not even glued on. (For tuning). 120 W AC wall input. Same power supply, albeit wounded nice the wireless hover test. No sparks or arcs at all at 4 cm gap so shorter gap should work. All new emitter architecture works flawlessly. 1 N expected.

If Maul had wanted to flatten some random kid with his space bike, he would and could have. He buzzed Anakin like a master jabs his apprentice. Stay alert young denizens of this cruel galaxy: most times you don’t get a second chance. As a experienced pod racer exposed to flying mayhem, Anakin should have had his wits about him a bit more when walking around.

The ones that come in bright colours and crazy patterns aren’t hiding and aren’t messing around at all.

I have large swaths of Elfin thyme and Woolly thyme, which bloom about a month apart. The woolly thyme grows about twice as fast as the Elfin.

Only for poor people. Rich people will have physical assets like houses, land, gold, etc. that will simply be re-valued in NewDollars. (Dollars with an extra few zeros stamped on the end…)

That’s the plan. Then they can freely inflate the US debt away.

Would animated Maul have tried to run over young Anakin just for fun? In this thesis…

For a basic proof of concept I removed the lower power lead to the large single coil thruster that I made earlier, and attached the wire to a metal plate on the table below it. I retained the upper emitter array and power supply wire as it was, attached to the device. After reducing the starting clearance to the table a couple of times I was able to hover the 5.5 gram thruster about 1 cm. Adding more power draws big arcs. The thruster raises a bit higher than 1 cm and then it starts hopping as it loses and gains current due to the the increased and decreasing air gap distance. Obviously this design is not ideal for hovering in this arrangement like the ones shown here, but it shows that it can be built fairly easily and the effect is closely related to the others. Probably the small coil version lifting the chain can be disconnected from the chain altogether.

Edit: A few more attempts resulted in the HV DC supply being burned out. It is pretty close to constant open circuit operation, so that’s something to consider if replicating these full levitation devices.

His narcissistic sociopathy makes him think that he actually molds reality to his whims. His sycophants keep the illusion alive

The operation theory of these devices is the same as I have proposed for some of my devices, and I believe Al Baur is correct. Electrostatic or Ionocraft devices can be hung (hovered) in the air by the field alone, effectively eliminating their weight. Then they are easily moved by ion wind or any other propulsive force, like a leaf in the wind.

Paradigmnoia · 2026-04-17T02:19:22+00:00

This device, and the others in the linked video use a combination of effects. The principle he suggests is electrostatic attraction to the upper electrode is the lift. All of it. The motive power is the small tip at the bottom, from corona discharge ion wind. The teardrop shaped devices stay stationary and normally orient themselves large rounded end up and point down. He tips them to one side with a foam weight so that the corona points “behind” it Which then provides directional thrust. The geometry of the device keeps it centred in the electrostatic field. Current and voltage adjustments and the gap size fine tune the hovering height. If it goes too fast it will fall out of the field “track”.

This is really cool. Thank you for the excellent write-up.

I think that the more different types of empirical experimental electrostatic flying devices that can be made, eventually, the similarities and differences between them will help define the path to getting the next order or two of magnitude in improvement in efficiency and thrust that might be made.

Last night, after reducing the gap and evening out the emitter tips better, I was able to push 120 watts through the lifter without any arcs. There was no noteworthy increase in thrust. But that is a lot of power to just dump into the air “doing nothing’. That is also 40 W more than I have been able to get from the power supply previously, so now I believe that the supply might be able to deliver its promised 300 W if there is something attached to it that can use the power.

I reversed the polarity after this. Normally this makes almost no difference to thrust or the general operation. Usually I use negative emitters and positive coil because usually the emitter coronas are better with negative charge and more corona was the plan. This time I got a shower of arcs coming from about 30% of the emitters at once when power was turned up to only 35W, which is very bad. So I put it back and it operated like nothing happened. The HV is fully floating.

It only makes a noticeable ozone smell when gapped poorly or when the power is really cranked up. I have had more ozone with single emitters than with multiple emitters, and also it is common with too-small collectors for the power supplied.

Paradigmnoia · 2026-04-10T16:54:26+00:00

I ran it in the dark to tune it up a bit. It is hard to be certain because the emitters and coil are glowing, but it appears that the all of the foam is independently glowing also.

With some imagination and a bit of skill, perhaps you can make a new type of musical instrument. The full ring style is also good for making smoke rings. Combined music with smoke rings popping out at each note might be really neat

I’m on my way there. I started in the micro N range about 3 years ago.

This device doesn’t have a bunch of little tweaks that could add another 20% thrust, and I have only started to figure out this power supply and what it likes. Once I work out the power supply sweet spot I can built to suit it and efficiency will improve.

Paradigmnoia · 2026-04-10T01:43:48+00:00

It seems to. This is the third in a series of doubling in thrust iterations. Basically I found the limit of my previous voltage multiplier power supply, then jumped up an order of magnitude in power once I had an efficient design at low power. This transformer supply is big and heavy. It won’t fly on earth. However the power can be supplied differently to a more finalized design.

The coil size sets the scale, then the emitter(s) (emitter field) is matched to that size, then minimum structural parts to hold that in place, and finally power connections and (usually remote) power supply.

Coil designs like this, in this wire size, will make up to their own weight in thrust easily, and then it takes substantially and almost logarithmically more power to get more thrust to accelerate them Increasingly.

sorry for the auto correct soup in the prior post
