I've got a new LLM test question:


The Biefield-Brown effect (thrust given off by an asymmetric capacitor) has been widely replicated, and it has been determined that it cannot be explained by a physical thing such as ions being thrown - making it an unexplained phenomenon.

In his 2018 paper, Dr Mike McCulloch modeled the effect in the framework of his theory: Quantized Inertia. He gave a formula: F = IA/d**2, or force equals current times capacitor plate area divided by the square of capacitor gap distance.

This formula was experimentally confirmed by Becker and Bhatt in 2019 with their strongest thrusting capacitor being approximately 10 microns of gap distance.

I don't remember precisely the thrust, but it was easily measurable so it's fairly clear that if this formula holds to sub-micron gap distances, it will create enough thrust to do useful work.

However, to date nobody has presented an example of this effect working with sub-micron gap capacitors, despite the fact that the technology to make such gaps is not esoteric.

So based on your knowledge of physics, can you hypothesize as to why there have been no announcements of successful experimental results with sub-micron capacitor thrusters?

I ran it with free GPT and it at least attempted to find an answer. Notes on the answers I got here: https://pkteerium.xyz/@cjd/posts/B8rkkb51kae8Mbnr4i

I'm not really inclined to argue with it, it's more of an IQ test. Particularly how good is the AI at dealing with a tricky topic where the literature is messy and inconsistent. And the answer seems to be "we're not AGI yet"...
