(Sorry if this post is a little old, I just had my isp screw up for a while and haven't been able to post recently)
Anyways, you said that a rotary lifter will work on HVAC. What is a rotary lifter? Is it any different from the basic triangular lifters that everybody makes? Do you have any pictures? Thanks!

Dave,

Actually, a rotary lifter will produce thrust with either HVAC or pulsed
HVDC of either polarity. I demonstrated my rotary lifter powered by a 12 kv
60 ma NST at last years TCBOR Teslathon.
