To: Tell It Right

“By drawing in a small amount of air from the intake, pressurizing it using an impeller, and squirting it through the outlet, this generates a pressure imbalance and a considerable amount of thrust, which extends the full length of the cylinders.

I’m having a problem seeing how that doesn’t consume as much or more power than it “saves”. You know, that whole law of conservation of energy thing.”

Exactly! Sounds like a turbine. No where does it say how much energy it takes to blow this air out and how much trust it produces.

Another application of unicorn farts.

“Another application of unicorn farts.”

Because the tech is above your paygrade you feel you must boost your ego with stupid comments.

Think of it like an amplifier where the difference in air pressure is a self-feedback loop, continually adding energy. Doesn’t mean it’s practical.
