This is a good project if you have time...

Isn't that what inspired Gene Roddenberry? Flux capacitors were used in Back to the Future , and I suspect Star Fleet still uses them.

It's the same old story. No idea about how much voltage on the plates, no construction details, no measurements of operating conditions, but "thrust" measured to several decimal places.

Funny how these things are mostly magical in operation. Too dangerous to properly measure, so we just have to take someone's word for it.

I have built anti-gravity capacitor plates myself... and they worked. I sold them to NASA for a bundle.

They're using them on the space station right now and NASA reports that they work perfectly. Good, reliable, constant, zero gravity everywhere on the station. They are very pleased. :)

Of course you could save yourself a lot of work and use one of these.
Much more compact, lower leakage and guaranteed to have exactly the same thrust as the home made device.
