This is the problem. People try to use force to propel things away from gravitational pull, when in fact what they should be looking for is ways of negating it, so that craft weigh nothing in relation to its pull, meaning only minimum propulsion is needed to direct craft in the desired direction as with dirigibles and indeed rockets in space. Macho mechanics have to defy gravity, not understand and work with knowledge of it, hence they expand more energy than would be necessary if they took the alternative course. I believe Schauberger and others may have stumbled upon this in the past but can it be proved now? Not by us, certainly but that doesn't mean it isn't true, just unprovable within a forum like this.
