I suspect the Navy actually does have room temperature superconductors[1] ... which could make this a practical technology.

Google scholar shows that that patent 'author' has three patents 1. Piezoelectricity-induced High Temperature Superconductor 2. Craft using an inertial mass reduction device 3. High frequency gravitational wave generator

And I think with those three "inventions" one could construct a space-ship that could travel to Alpha Centauri at a meaningful fraction of 'c'.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Whatever is going on here, it's hard to take this document as evidence for a working room temperature superconductor...


>Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence

The granting of a United States patent should be sufficient evidence to at least consider it possible that such things have been achieved.
