Make the architecture inspectable

The exploded study separates a copper coil, insulating collar, annular plate stack and flanged casing along one assembly axis. It makes component relationships easier to discuss before detailed geometry is developed.

The render and line-art sheet are AI-assisted concept illustrations. They are not a released mechanical design, an electromagnetic simulation or a record of constructed hardware.

Separate research paths

The resonant cavity concept and electroaerodynamic research are separate questions. Electroaerodynamics concerns momentum transfer from charged particles to surrounding air; a cavity drawing does not establish that mechanism or demonstrate net thrust.

The public propulsion explorer uses a simplified illustrative model. Its outputs cannot establish the performance of the depicted cavity.

Define the next evidence gate

A useful bench campaign would define the hypothesis, calibration method, electrical and thermal measurements, background forces and measurement uncertainty before a test begins.

Raw records, negative results and independent review would determine the maturity of any later claim. This brief makes no assertion of achieved thrust, efficiency, acoustic output or aircraft range.
