The fact that it takes a few seconds for this to spin up is giving you a glimpse of aether behavior. Something that takes a while to spin up and down is exhibiting inertia, which makes me wonder whether pulses that are too narrow or spinning too fast might hurt the process. Not sure what it takes to impedance match or properly load your impeller, if that makes sense.
Yes, too fast will hurt the process; there is a frequency/diameter relationship to successful operation. I think that a pulse-wavefront must intersect the next 120-degree-off pulse-wavefront at a particular working-radius; too fast and the radius is too small, too slow and the radius is too large.
This is really at the heart of why I would personally like to start with simple experiments. By understanding how aether behaves first, it seems like it would be far easier to get this working. I guess I saw this design more as a means of understanding aether, with the expectation that other (simpler) designs might start to make sense.
Perhaps, by measuring how it reacts to various stimulation?
First define what "it" is, (not "is" is, that's silly.) Then define what stimulation is. (...not going there.)
Maybe "it" could be somewhere out in the deep vacuum of space; an unorganized 'white noise' of energy some say behaves as a fluid of extremely high density and extremely low viscosity. (Has anyone tried to measure the density and viscosity before? -Sorry if I missed it.)
Maybe the stimulation could be the existence of, oh say, one carbon atom.
How does the aether react to the existence of one carbon atom in deep space? Well, this can only ever be a pure thought experiment for obvious reasons; all of your in-proximity test equipment, with its many various atoms, might somehow interact and influence the one carbon atom and throw-off your test results.
'All your labs are belong to us.'
Think about all of the influences upon the aether near the Earth in comparison to the pure test conditions just described; the biggest thing is probably our local galaxy cluster, pick out our own Milky Way galaxy (wow, look at that giant vortex,) find Sol (with enough mass to reflect the aether pressure as light and heat,) and then park your saucer here on Earth (with it's iron core and electrostatic atmosphere.) How the hell are we supposed to get anything accomplished with all this activity going on in our aether lab?!
The original Michelson-Morley experiment only proved that the aether was not blowing that day, near the surface of the Earth. Does it ever?
Despite all that, I am sure that some of us here can think of a few meaningful aether experiments. We are not out to prove it exists, we are out to measure its properties in relation to our material manipulations.
We could start with a simple magnetic field's stimulation of our local aether. S describes it as an ordering of the aether; a stable aether pattern. What happens when we remove the current from a saturated air coil? The magnetic field collapses, of course, but why? Might it be the outside pressure of an un-patterned 'white noise' pushing in from all sides?
Sure it is. But at what rate does the 'outer most magnetic boundary' collapses towards the coil? Also important, at what rate does the ordered magnetic boundary expand from the coil? If we knew this rate, could we use this information to tune our various designs?
The big question that looms in virtually every credible device is: Where/how does the quantum energy enter the system? Once you wrap your head around that, the rest becomes implementation detail.
Perhaps the energy is always entering every 'system' all the time. This is the aether fluid pressure that maintains the standing waves of all matter. We are just trying to bleed-off a bit for our own use without starving our device of the aether pressure that each atom needs to remain in existence, if possible.
