Dig in, and tell the USAF it is wrong.
>From the introduction:
"Conventional physics rules out any departure from the conservation of
momentum. Recently, however, physics has seen a multitude ofnew
theories that try to unify all of physics. One specific set of
multidimensional theories has approached the unification problem by
inductivly coupling the electromagnetic forces with gravitational
forces. Inductive coupling means that a conversion between
gravitational and electrical forces is possible. Inductively linked
theories indicate that the interactions between the two forces may open
methods for the interconversion of electric and gravitational events,
just as magnetic and electric events are now interconverted. This means
that inductively coupled theories may offer waysto convert charges into
masses. This is similar to the way the fourth diension has supplied a
method of converting mass into energy.

The  motivation for such a study is the most recent advances in unified
field theories. Even thought here has been no singly accepted theory,
several things are now clear. If the unification of fields is possible
then interconversion is likely. It is only a matter of determineing the
size of the coupling constant. Should such conversion be possible, the
power density made available would be ten orders of magnitude beyond
nuclear events. This conversion and inductive linkage of both charge
and mass by the new theories may open whole new avenuse to propulsion."
