I guess most people here don't read as much crank physics as I do.
The so-called BB Effect has been a staple of amateur experimentation for 
decades.
Also, last I heard was that a lifter *was* tested in vacuum and no lift 
detected.

I don't hold out much hope for this being any kind of 'breakthrough'.
