Findings on "Levitation in Earth's E-field" Technology

"The bottom line is that a sufficient charge accumulation on a capacitor, or any object for that matter, of sufficiently small mass, would be accelerated more by the earth's electric field than by acceleration due to the earth's gravity field. It would fly." "Clearly the answer lies in finding a suitable dielectric material...Another interesting idea is that it may be possible to concentrate the e-field locally around the capacitor. This could be done if a material could be found that has a dielectric constant less than that of air (K of air is about 1). Cover the capacitor's outside with this material..."

Ethereal aerographite is lightest stuff ever made

“With a density of less than 0.2 mg/cm³, it is barely there at all…Its sparse nature means aerographite can be compressed by a factor of a thousand, only to spring back to its original size. The material can also support 35 times more weight than the same mass of aerogel. Aerographite’s ability to conduct electricity means it might also find a use as part of an ultra-lightweight battery.”
