Interesting posting, however, the S4 disk does not use any form of MHD
propulsion if in fact that is what you are implying. You're quite correct,
there are several major problems to overcome before this can ever be
utilized in an actual craft. The least of which is the huge power
requirement.
I would imagine even with another 50 years of development, you will never
see an MHD drive that rivals the thrust of a modern jet engine. Sure you
may see some low thrust (in comparison to chemical propulsion) units that
show proff of concept but that's about it. Now please don't bother
screaming and yelling I don't know what I'm
talking about, because I do.
If you were implying the actual S4 disk uses some form of MHD propulsion,
you're dead wrong. As far as the disk goes, the dark areas that surround
the top are
assumed to be part of the navigational system that allows for star
fixation.
An MHD system would have been recognized by janitor (well, an educated
janitor) much less a team of physicists including myself. "Thrust" (and I
use the term loosely) on the S4 disk is provided by gravity manipulation
and not an action / reaction force system.
I do not normally subscribe to UFO type newsgroups as (believe it or not),
the topic does not interest me in the least. Most of the postings others
have shown me lead me to believe this is the CB of the 90's, full of
childish arguments.
Your article was quite informative, why not post it on the science
newsgroups?

This is probably a big mistake posting my email address on a UFO newgroup.
To others reading this, please don't email me UFO questions, or ask me to
aid you in verifying the existence of S4,UFO's,my background or the like.
