    A couple further observations, if I may. From the above, it would appear that directional thrust and vector change might be achieved from a series of thrust chambers positioned around a central vehicle. By varying the output of the chambers, controlled lift as well as vector change ought to result.

    Alternatively, by placing counter-rotating gyroscopes on each of the main axis of a vehicle, altering the speed of rotation of one gyro relative to the other along that axis ought to imput motion into the vehicle as well. As in the example above, manipulating the precessional forces of the various gyros relative to each other ought to impute acceleration and vector change into the vehicle.

    Either of these example's suggest that a self-contained unit and power supply ought not necessarily require any more traditional form of fuel or thrust mechanism, assuming that the necessary refinement of control can be achieved.

    Is it possible to put a special lens in the cavity that can either magnify the reflection of the proton more at one end or and them both. This just come to mind after read the article, would it make any significant difference.

    It also came to mind that though it might be costly to fool around with many different ideas to try and improve this fascinating new technology I still would like to put another.

    Would it make sense to only cool one side of the resonant cavity instead of them both in an effort trying to keep the trust mid high while causing the cavity not to lose more energy than it can replace in the at a time during acceleration of a potential hover vehicle. Or possibly a combination of both my Ideas. Some one answer please, is it practical?
