Hi Keith,

I'm glad to be here. Nick suggested I join some time ago, but I'm still at 
first year level with much this stuff- physics- antigrav-  my "hobby".  I 
rarely post to the forums.  I am not familiar for instance with the 
difference between group velocity and phase velocity. There are however some 
similarities in this case to a conjecture I had once about C of M/E of 
dopplered light. And, yes, thank you very much for finding the patent. I 
will get into reading that as soon as I post this. I see it. I assume that 
Arrow #6 is the net force vector?.

Preamble:
If a photon frequency drops-  the EM energy drops. Does conservation then 
come about from the photon's momentum increasing? And if the photon's 
frequency drops so low... if it dopplers down to a quasi-static wavelength, 
the penetration into matter would be deep.

If the momentum therefore increases, and we are in a "designed" universe,, 
to what end does the momentum increase? To expand space? To create a "push" 
gravity? Maybe expanding space is the "result" of "push" gravity? Or maybe 
infinite space is not expanding at all.(Arp, et al). I just don't know, but 
"push gravity", if there is such a thing, might have more than one 
mechanism...

The reason I bring this up at all is because it is possible that this 
emdrive unit's Momentum-energy ratio (is there a proper word for that?) must 
stay in balance whether the wave 'velocity' changes or whether the wave 
'length' changes. Each implies an EM energy imbalance, at least in the 
proposed superconducting version. Perhaps the momentum exchange is between 
one end of the unit and the edge of the sidereal universe-  and so the C of 
M/E will not be broken after all.

Anyway, if my wild idea has a grain of truth, it implies "action at a 
distance" on the momentum component.
Sorry about the speculation. The truth is- the thing is probably full of 
artefacts, but WOW... if it isn't :-))

Cheers :)
Colin
