Well, I would like to see that too.. notice the scientist didn't answer some questions like about the mercury being in a plasma state that was below 0 degrees F and was this a type of cold plasma we were talking about.. I do not understand this at all.. and they could not shed light or at least didn't answer that point.
A circular, plasma filled accelerator ring called the Magnetic Field Disrupter, surrounds the rotatable crew compartment and is far ahead of any imaginable technology... The plasma, mercury based, is pressurized at 250,000 atmospheres at a temperature of 150 degrees Kelvin, and accelerated to 50,000 rpm to create a super-conductive plasma with the resulting gravity disruption.

Dereks, in the same vein, science is only a philosophy and one way of looking at a problem. It depends very much on which model you use and how you test and interpret your data. When ever new variables are introduced time and time again, current theories fail to explain certain outcomes. I have a great thread on this same subject here that basically says science is Not set in stone called String Theory - Science or Philosophy ? www.scienceforums.net...

All of this "science" has been debunked by real science. The paper above is a hoax. None of it is true.
The paper I posted above is also a Hoax
If this craft does exist, the above is NOT the science it is based on.
Here is the full thread: www.scienceforums.net... called, " TR-3B reduces mass ? "
As you can see I tried to do everything I could to get some validity out of this from the scientists.. Nada, nope, Zip.

Look for example at this phase diagram of a mixture of Cd (Cadmium)and Hg (mercury). The 100% mercury is at the left, where the melting point is 236K, and the 100% Cd is at the right where the melting point is higher. So just about anything compatible with mercury you mix with it like Cd takes you in the wrong direction as you would need to lower the melting point of Hg from 236K, not raise it.
Note that plasma and solids are at extreme opposites of this energy scale. Therefore the idea of a low temperature plasma is a contradiction.

Just a brief note.....

Are you saying there is no such thing as a low temperature plasma?

So you may ask, what about the pressure? Can that affect the state? Yes it can, but in this case, it's in the opposite direction of what this claim asserts.
Again there are exceptions, but generally speaking, higher pressure tends to force materials more toward the solid state, and lower pressures tend to force them more toward the gaseous or plasma state.
There are several types of lamps suitable for generating these wavelengths, the main ones being high-pressure mercury arc lamps, electrodeless lamps and medium pressure mercury arc lamps
The Maxablaster is a 38-million-candlepower flashlight that was made at home by (mad?) optics engineer Ralf Ottow. Replacing a commercial flashlight's bulb with a plasma-powered mercury arc bulb, the Maxablaster creates a highly focused beam of light with a high UV content not so different from a star.
So UV-filtering glass was added to block the potentially harmful rays—though evidently this thing is still plenty bright enough to burn skin, as it has Ottow's on at least one occasion.
Well this at least is different than the mercury plasma claim but it shares the same problem, and that is the claim that some type of electromagnetic effect cancels the force of gravity, when this hasn't been demonstrated in a peer-reviewed paper that I'm aware of.

The means of reducing the gravity is up for conjecture but I think its done by utilizing the "rareified air" property of High Voltage DC coils on the outer skin of the craft hence the bluish glow = corona ( not the beer ) at night.

"Researchers have developed a new hand-held device that can produce room-temperature plasmas for diverse applications, most important for biomedical applications......
.....A good low-temperature plasma source must be able to work at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.
At atmospheric pressure, most plasmas are so hot (thousands of degrees centigrade) that they would immediately kill any living cells they come into contact with.

It is elementary my dear readers, the mercury accelerator ring has specific goals and therefore we can work backwards from those goals to determine how the ring works.
It is my view that the TR-3B and the McCandlish ARV work off of the Alcubierre Warp Drive Effect on a macro level (creating a dent in spacetime at the front of the craft and a hill in spacetime at the back of the craft to move spacetime) and Extended Heim Theory on a micro level (generating gravitophoton pairs, gravitational force and expansion force, with the gravitational force photons being absorbed by the mercury accelerator ring).

The TR-3B is not "Star Trek" technology - no warp nacelles.
The Alcubierre drive principal may be ruled out due to required energy consumption, and an internal warp envelope temperature hotter than a star. But I believe the Burkhard Heim anti-gravity principle could still apply. And it may also use these reactionless engines for lateral propulsion:
"The EmDrive"
emdrive.com...
And it might be supplemented with some kind of Tesla field, to provide that 'disappearing while in sky' function. Seems akin to the "Philadelphia Experiment".
The TR-3B is "Forbidden Planet" and "Lost In Space" flying saucer technology - albeit triangular rather than circular , in my opinion.
Note however, because the EmDrive obeys the law of conservation of energy, this thrust/power ratio rapidly decreases if the EmDrive is used to accelerate the vehicle along the thrust vector. (See Equation 16 of the theory paper). Whilst the EmDrive can provide lift to counter gravity, (and is therefore not losing kinetic energy), auxiliary propulsion is required to provide the kinetic energy to accelerate the vehicle.
