Abr�g�

The electrostatic forces are "generated" by the interaction of polarised atoms (q) on an electric vector field (E), i.e. F=q.E, positive or negative according to the sign of (q). By suitable geometry of the polarised armatures, and/or by the use of electric charges induced by induction effect, and/or by the use of suitably arranged dielectrics, it becomes possible to break the symmetry of the expansion forces on one of the axes of the three-axis reference system and thus to obtain a non-zero resultant force (Fn). The isolated system is then propelled, and it draws the charges (q) and (E) along with it, thus F=q.E remains constant. This force can be used as a means of propulsion for any vehicle or even as motive force for producing energy.
