Okay, if you don't see how that paragraph makes your definition false, then you REALLY don't understand anything you are talking about. It's just so... obvious. 

Do not stomp on the dreams of maniacs.  If he doesn't kill himself first, he may very well be a fine addition to Mad Science.  He has the drive, just no useful experience.

I suppose, you're right, Roger.Still makes me giggle.

Yeah, well...Yeah.   

In any case, there's 3-4 good reasons his idea won't work.  But at least he isn't a perpetual motion tard.  Try talking to one of THEM, some time.  Or some jackass that thinks the light speed barrier can be overcome by a bigger motive force, etc.

A solenoid[nb 1] is a coil wound into a tightly packed helix. In physics, the term solenoid refers to a long, thin loop of wire, often wrapped around a metallic core, which produces a magnetic field when an electric current is passed through it. Solenoids are important because they can create controlled magnetic fields and can be used as electromagnets. The term solenoid refers specifically to a magnet designed to produce a uniform magnetic field in a volume of space (where some experiment might be carried out).

In engineering, the term solenoid may also refer to a variety of transducer devices that convert energy into linear motion. The term is also often used to refer to a solenoid valve, which is an integrated device containing an electromechanical solenoid which actuates either a pneumatic or hydraulic valve, or a solenoid switch, which is a specific type of relay that internally uses an electromechanical solenoid to operate an electrical switch; for example, an automobile starter solenoid, or a linear solenoid, which is an electromechanical solenoid.

I referred to the first use, you referred to the second.

Positively ionized air is repelled by positive charge magnetic field, negatively ionized air is repelled by negative magnetic field. I trust the physics professor more than random internet thoughts, unless you have a degree of some sort to argue otherwise.

The first goal isnt to lift anything except the craft, just a proof of concept at this point.

There are several reasons for you being unable to use this for strong propulsion:

• while ionised air will react to a solenoids magnetic field it will not be coherent because of the random convection of air, you will not get a coherent energy build up.
• even ionised air doesn't react as well to the magnetic field as a ferromagnetic material would, the amount of energy needed would defeat the purpose of the device
• The coils ability would also depend on its size, are you a warehouse? if not do not consider these a viable accessory.
• Coils heat up, the more windings the more heat generated, if you cant use copper and you don't have some magical superconductor expect it to melt as soon as its turned on

I agree its more scientology then sciencetastic right now.

I come back from meeting with lawyers hoping for LULZ and this is the best you can provide?

holy shit - we got a motorcycle emote now. About fucking time!

We've had it for a year or so.

You were too busy fucking off doing whatever it is you Scots do when nobody's looking.

There's a reason nobody looks and it's not because we hide whilst doing it

Drinking?

I assume that they do it when we are and are not looking.

Scots, the exception to Schroedinger's cat.

Drinking is merely the catalyst. It's what we get up to when drunk that leaves our tourists in therapy

And your sheep in trauma.

Or is that the Welsh?  I can't tell you guys apart.
