it's really good that indiegogo titles every project description "story" because there are an awful lot of tall tales on that site

The engine is based on the idea that gravitation and electricity are closely related which gives us the ability to generate gravitational-waves by using properly constructed electrical devices.

so its a quadrotor with a giant shell :v:

No it's just a really fancy ion lifter, which you can build with dowels and aluminum foil.

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

ion lifter

there's a video
think about the ionic breeze things
they make air ow by making ions move along blades to a wire
now imagine a very light assembly, same thing aimed downward
it's so light the faint breeze generated is enough to lift it up

I don't know how this compares to ion engines for space tho but probably kinda similar

it also has a motion sensor to wake it when you sit down

yeah it looks more like a piece of insulation than a heatsink, like the inside would catch fire before the outside edge gets warm

The only thing white people deserve is a bullet to their empty skull
besides airflow issues, r proportional to l/a should tell you p. much all you need to know about how good a heatsink made from long skinny copper shavings is gonna be

(the equation works for heat flow not just electrons)
