Possible Means of Electrostatic Propulsion According to the Mbelek–Lachièze-Rey Scalar-Tensor Theory of Gravitation

As was shown recently, the scalar-tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Mbelek and Lachièze-Rey allows for a possible explanation of the forces reported in asymmetric microwave cavities. We show here that the theory in its revised version predicts a much simpler way of producing thrust by electro...
