The patent won’t hold. We have prior art from alien spacecraft for decades now.

Most of our current propulsion and lift mechanisms are based on momentum transfer, which has many problems in air. His work makes me think there are a lot more efficient mechanisms to be discovered.

okay; sorry. I was trying to compliment him on something I found interesting by alluding to it being alien technology. I took aeronautical engineering a long time ago, and I've never seen anything like this, so maybe it's just a foolish amazement.
