Scientific paper
An assortment of papers have been published over the years setting forth theory suggesting inertia stems from the gravitational effects of the totality of matter in the universe (Mach's Principle). This has been supported by positive results of experimental attempts by Woodward to transiently modify the inertia of test masses. By rapidly oscillating the energy density of the test masses (i.e., charging and discharging high-energy capacitors), apparent transient mass shifts of up to +/-10% of the active dielectric material were consistently obtained. It became apparent that such an effect, when coupled with precisely timed external impulsive forces, could result in a net force, that is, propulsion without the expulsion of a reactive propellant, utilizing only electricity as ``fuel.'' Several generations of devices have been constructed and tested supporting this concept of propulsion.
