It is funny you ask others while excusing Mr Lazar.
So anybody can make tall claims. Taller the claim, more believable it is.

I have a feeling that this is the case. Why would element 115 behave differently from all the other heavy elements?
It was detected by photons given off from its immediate decay. Doesn't sound stable to me.
You're right it's not stable but bob lazar said that there is stable form of it but it's not found on earth.What's so different about element 115 according to Lazar is that because it's heavy in a stable form it's strong nuclear force that hold's it together expand's outside the nucleus of the atom so we can tap into it and amplify it to cause gravity distortion.If true it would apply to any element bigger that 115 if it were stable.The only thing is...heavy element's are not stable for long periods of time....milliseconds at most.

Perhaps it is only stable in large concentrations - kilograms rather than milligrams. You could say the same about weapons grade Uranium. Why should 10 kg or more of Uranium behave any differently than a few milligrams? The difference is that the surface area to volume ratio changes. Assume the material is kept as a perfect sphere:
Surface area of a sphere = 4.pi.r^2
Volume of a sphere = 4/3 pi . r^3
Then the ratio between surface area and volume becomes 3:r
So as the sphere becomes smaller, the surface area dominates the volume, meaning that a greater exchange (of heat or photons) between the outside world than than with the contents inside. This applies to heat being lost from water in a cup vs. being in a hot-water cistern or keeping children warm.
As the sphere becomes larger, the volume dominates the surface area, and so there is more internal exchange than with the outside, so whatever particles there are (photons, or strong force exchange particles) are kept inside. That becomes important when atomic particles are being exchanged from fission (neutrons) or the strong nuclear force in this case. Perhaps the inter-exchange of such particles between nucleii would help keep them stable.
Radioactive decay has nothing to do with surface area.

There were designs for nuclear reactors that used Mercury as a coolant rather than water. However, plans to build such reactors were blocked on safety grounds for obvious reasons.
www.osti.gov...
Of course, there were those Indian Vimanas which were supposed to used Mercury as some means of power. Best bet was that it was to flow through pipes and resonate in sound chambers (thermo-acoustics).
I maintain that the science of today has started hitting its limits.

IIRC he said it was stable, in a form not found on Earth...

Well, it sounds kinda right, not being found on earth... nasa has been looking at asteroid mining programmes recently.
Oh, and on another note, I am sure I heard through the grapevine that lazar was working with the government again...
And as for mercury engines, the way I understand it is the mercury is pumped through a vortex (just like medical proffesionals emblem or the two snakes curling round each other and rising up to meet head on) and its surrounding electro magnets to get some kind of gravity distortion effect, its all very technical, with air inlets and outlets around the craft, buts that's about the limit of my knowledge with the fantasised mercury powered ships, I couldn't even begin to tell you. The technical spechs for it.....PEACE!!!

You still need power for the electro-magnets and to heat the mercury.
Your design does have some good elements though.
I call it electrostatic propulsion rather than gravity distortion.
There are two elements in a ship - (1) Production of electrical power (2) Device to convert electric power into propulsive power
