These claims seem unrealistic, but I admit I have not done the maths. How do you get from the Earth to the moon in 3.5 hours at only 1 G? Even if that is true, how much energy (in the form of light) will need to be expelled to drive a spaceship, say 1,000 kilograms, at 1 G? Won't that have an effect similar to setting off a nuclear bomb (in terms of the light output)?
Note: I believe that the photon drive is already being developed, to take unmanned probes to the outer reaches of the solar system (and beyond) using the energy from the sun to provide the propulsion. But the accelleration is extremely slow and the time taken is in decades.
I find the following comments condescending:
I thionk you also need to reconsider the following:
You might benefit from reconsidering the reasons why you have been banned so many times. Saying: "They cannot think on their own" and "Most groups that I have dealt with do not want to hear any new ideas. So they throw me out. I undestand that" just reveals how little you understand. I find that groups like this are interested in new ideas. Indeed that is a major reason why the groups exist. But there are rules. You get thrown out for repeatedly breaking the rules, not for expressing revolutionary ideas.
Lastly:
This is simply messianic. It shows you in a very poor light. You need to consider not how closed minded people are, but how open minded they are to even listen to your ideas when they are interspersed with such egotistical nonsense.

COLOR="Blue"][/COLOR] No. All my work is theoretical. I have no ability to do such things. If I had the money I could start the project but it would requre about 10 billion dollars and a team of about 100 engineers, physicists, and workers. All I can do is propose the machine. I guess I could draw up a design patent for it but that too involves money.
I just calculated these things in my Doppler Space Time book in 2000. Using S=0.5at^2 and V=at, and ignoring that we have to take off from the Earth at 2g initially until we clear the atmosophere, the trip to the moon will reach a maximum velocity of 137,400 miles per hour at the halfway point. The trip to Mars or Venus will reach a speed of 2.08 million miles per hour. ( I have not rechecked the numbers since the printing of the book).
I have not calculated the amount of energy required but the process for the production of the photonic field is quite nuclear. Certainly it is a kind of nuclear bomb but a very slow discharging one. Of course unless the design is right, it is possible to produce a proton bomb by mistake.
Some people worried about that at CERN. The linear acceleration of the proton should destroy it but if they built a spherical type device at CERN, then they could destroy quite a lot.
Thanks for your comments. Whether good or bad I am happy for some feedback.
