Resonant-Gradient Antigravity System: Reactionless Drive Based on Controlled Standing Wave
This work presents a technical specification for the development of an active thrust generator that creates vertical reactive force without expelling propellant (gas, plasma, or liquid). The operating principle relies on the formation of a local asymmetry in the electromagnetic field density around the vehicle’s hull using a controlled standing wave. Unlike conventional reaction engines, the system utilises the gradient of electromagnetic energy density, analogous to vacuum polarisation in a weak form (similar to the Casimir effect, but with active control). The mathematical model describes thrust through the gradient of the squared electric field strength, amplified by the resonance quality factor QQ, tuned to the frequency f0=400/7≈57.142857f0=400/7≈57.142857 Hz. Key engineering blocks include a pulsed high‑voltage modulator (300–500 kV), active radiating panels made of composite ceramics based on synthesised atacamite (AlOOH) with quartz additive, and a phase‑synchronisation unit that generates a travelling gradient wave. Calculations for a 1‑tonne vehicle show that at 300 kV, Q≈104Q≈104, and a total radiating area of 3 m², a thrust of up to 12,000 N is achieved, exceeding the required 9,800 N. Expected specifications: maximum thrust up to 1.2 tonne‑force, hover power consumption 1.5–2 kW, silent operation, no moving parts, and no fuel consumption. The active mass (16 panels with control unit) is 40–50 kg. A roadmap for engineering assembly and testing is proposed: laboratory bench, stabiliser prototype, and field trials. The project is ready for the R&D phase.
