CRAFT USING AN INERTIAL MASS REDUCTION DEVICE

This document is a United States Patent Application Publication (US 2017/0313446 A1) filed by Salvatore Pais and assigned to the United States Navy. The patent details a craft equipped with an inertial mass reduction device. The core technology involves an inner resonant cavity wall, an outer resonant cavity wall, and microwave emitters. These components are designed to create high-frequency electromagnetic waves throughout the resonant cavity, which in turn causes the outer resonant cavity wall to vibrate in an accelerated mode. This process is intended to create a local polarized vacuum outside the craft, effectively reducing its inertial and gravitational mass. The document posits that by manipulating quantum field fluctuations in the local vacuum energy state, the craft can achieve extreme speeds. The patent discusses the theoretical basis for this, referencing concepts such as the Casimir Effect, the Lamb Shift, and the work of physicists like Julian Schwinger and Ilya Prigogine. The craft is described as potentially having a cone or lenticular triangle/delta wing configuration and could function as a hybrid aerospace/undersea craft. The document also notes that the invention may be used for governmental purposes by the United States without royalty payments. The patent application faced initial rejection but was subsequently approved following an appeal by the Naval Aviation Enterprise CTO, James Sheehy, who emphasized the strategic importance of the technology.
