Abstract
While casually investigating lifter materials outside of a formal experimental environment, some interesting observations were made regarding possible erosive flows of high-speed heavy ions. If one posited explanation for base ?skirt? material erosion is correct, the source of lift might be attributable to high-speed jet flow of heavy metal ions (throwaway mass) liberated by high field emissions from the top wire of the classic lifter.
