    Hi Jack, I see the potential in your experiment and am encouraged by your ambition. I, and I suspect a number of other potential backers, would appreciate perhaps a very brief explanation of how the propulsion pilot system you seek to develop would operate and how you might go about constructing it. If people know more about your project, they are more likely to back it. Good luck!

    I will definitely add more detail to my fundraising page soon. The device and thrust apparatus will be fairly similar to the ones tested by NASA; I'll be able to go into more detail once I've finished compiling my computational and simulation work for the project to present at my regional science fair. If I'm able to get funded, I will be able to further substantiate my experimental claims as well as focus on the development of the device for presentation in the state science fair and potentially even the international ISEF competition.
