Thanks DJW001!
Saved me a bunch of time. Good explanation.
I was going to eat dinner and didn't want to spoil my appetite by going into great detail.
There is one other thing that wasn't mentioned was the power source for all of these massive vacuum pumps and fans for propulsion.
It would be better to research into Bob Lazar, he worked at Area-51!!!
He used mag lev and some other "secret" ALIEN (wooowooo) stuff.
Thanks again and 73's,
Tom

Symbiot,
Please, also, read the edit on my last post.
Sorry, I know Bob and he is a great guy. Even had dinner at my house once. He signed one of his posters for my son.
Sorry to trouble you, but all you have is "seeeecret" stuff. No sources or evidence.
At least Bob had a poster that had fancy physics equations and pictures and really NEEET things on it.
Tom

Yeah one more thing not that I actually read your last post...
"Bob Lazar is a disinfo agent. The whole alien thing was cooked up as cover for this technology, and guess what... It worked." sources?
"The technology is incredibly simple and yet no one was able to figure it out because everyone figured it was incredibly complicated." If it is so simple that you could figure it out why can't those PhD's and other high $$
scientists figure it out? Because they are paid not to, they are threatened not to. So why is it that Bob Lazar can figure this stuff out, but non of the other PhD's can? Guess he's the smartest man on Earth huh?
"Moreover vacuum pumps do not have any need to be huge, heavy, or complicated." again, what volume and capacity would be needed? Sources? I'll look it up and get back to you, but in the mean time if you really want to know you can do your own research on Blimps and hot air balloons.
"Ever used an air mattress?" Yes
Those pumps are not very heavy are they? No, Point? The volume and speed required for your UFO would probably be quite a bit more than an air mattress, don't ya,think? There is a point, yes the pumps would be larger and more sophisticated, but the point is that the technology is not complicated and incredibly cheap.
"DJW's explanation was not good, he gave examples of plastic and aluminum containers, thinly lined and weak structures." No he gave a very simple explanation of what would be needed in regards to air pressure and volume of vacuum required. Really, I didn't see that... All I saw were references to coke cans and plastic bottles not being able to withstand a vacuum.
See now I have to go tell my wife I'll eat later, I lost my appetite, thanks.
I am outta here... You lost your appetite? I mean I come here to post information, then YOU attack me and then say you lost your appetite.
But, 73's to ya Symbiot, (you can google 73's)
Tom
PS, Bob and his wife own a science store up north somewhere...google that too while your at it.

I like the idea since, if it worked, it would be a really cool to see. I just don't see how it's practical. It still uses a combustion engine for thrust and really you're only replacing the wings with air chambers. How does this solve any problems?
Boeing is one company already at work on hybrid planes that reduce their carbon footprint by using less fuel and relying more on electricity (like a Prius). How would this UFO be any more efficient or faster than a hybrid plane?
Also, when I think of a UFO, I think that the real mystery in that is the ability to easily travel the universe using mind control avionics, advanced propulsion systems, and worm hole generators. This "Hindenburg UFO" doesn't address any of the sexiness that you would expect with a UFO.

As far as light and strong material I don't believe they had titanium or carbon nano tubes in 1670, but they do now

If this vehicle is only supposed to test the boundaries of technology by just going up and down, than what is the point? The point seems just to be that a vacuum lifts light metals. Kind of seems boring. This world is filled with endless possibilities, hence us not knowing the ends of space, if there is an end. And if you do know, contact the news. The only thing we can come up with is hey look, a balloon going up and down, but wait there is more, there’s a vacuum in it; cough, sneeze, NASA chamber anyone in balloon form. Wow guys test the limits, what are you trying to do, suppress this "technology".
