The concept is pretty basic.. Water and objects containing water are diamagnetic - which means in the presence of an intense magnetic field, water will also create its own magnetic field. The water will always repel away from the source of the stronger field.

Diamagnetism isnt a "power source".
Its more like an effect than a cause.

And therein lies the crux of the issue.
You have to apply external power in order to see the effect.
One might as well say SPRINGS can magically lift objects, if only we could find some way of compressing them with some other power source we will avoid talking about.
Or that quickly rotating helicopter blades can magically lift a helicopter, in the presence of some other power source we dont speak of just now.

I've had similar thoughts to this also. Specifically towards the steering mechanism you mention. I definitely think your onto something!
Mind you something similar to this is probably what the black ops crafts use.... Damn I hate living in a technologically suppressed prison. :/
Subrata Roy, an aerospace engineer from the University of Florida, recently submitted a patent application for an aircraft that just happens to come in the shape of a flying saucer. Dubbed a “winged electromagnetic air vehicle,” or WEAV, the battery-powered prototype is designed at less than 6 in. across. Even so, Roy insists that the mini sci-fi mobile could be built full-scale for missions like atmospheric surveillance—and that’s got NASA and the Air Force interested.
My point is that diamagnetic propulsion technology is a feasible concept given you have the technology to overcome these engineering challenges - primarily, miniaturizing the power source to fit inside a craft of some sort and being able to create a strong enough field for the craft to operate within the threshold of the design loads and parameters.

It also has water related. amasci.com... but this would be only part of the propellant. NO magnets involved, but still manages to defy gravity. Interesting. Plastics at 10 mph with such a force. indeed, so very lightwieght and so very much so cost effective.
