    "concept_summary": "The SARG effect is claimed to arise from a gravito-inertial phenomenon predicted by the Basic Structures of Matter - Supergravitation Unified Theory (BSM-SG). A heterodyne-type activation of a neutral plasma creates a modulation of the physical vacuum (Cosmic Lattice) that unidirectionally changes the gravito-inertial mass of the device and nearby gas, producing a net force field. The method does not rely on ion wind or combustion and is presented as a propellant-free propulsion technique.",

        "The propulsion is caused by a unique gravito-inertial effect, which permits obtaining a force field as a result of unidirectional change of the gravitational (and inertial) mass of the object and the gas molecules in the activated zone of surrounding space.",
        "The experiment was reported and demonstrated on the 26 Annual Meeting of the Society of Scientific Exploration, May 30 June 2, 2007 East Lansing, MI, USA.",
        "I got two such rods a year ago by one friend and have wound one by hand and obtain inductance of 6.5 mH. During the experiment ... I applied a High voltage (about 30 kV, but low current) ... the rod got curved.",
        "A small scale SARG effect is verified by laboratory experiments. The result is a unique force field distinguished from the reactive jet propulsion by lack of throwing mass."
