Reviews of some field propulsion methods from the general relativistic standpoint
Abstract
We survey the ideas (experiments and/or theories) proposed by three ``Japanese'' researchers: Hayasaka, H., Minami, Y., and Musha, T.. Then we review and check the physical validities of their ideas from the general relativistic standpoint. Finally, we evaluate the performances of the field propulsion methods constructed from their ideas. In conclusion, we find that the Musha's method may be promising under the conditions that (1) the reappearance of his experimental results is strictly confirmed and (2) general relativity is replaced by another gravitational field theory in the micro level.
