I'd like to see how they attach 20kV++ to an
aluminium foil antennae and get no ionised air...

The so called "holy grail" of inertial engine tests,
if you hang the engine by a string pendulum, and
it does indeed produce linear force, the engine
swings to the side (+up) and stays there, hence
proving it produces force when powered up.

The standard tests with load cells and strain gauges
are easier to fool considering these engines usually
have a number of reciprocating or vibrating components,
the pendulum test is considered a simple and
relatively foolproof test. :o)
