Could this be used as an engine of some kind? The spinny thing giving off EM waves and those waves are caught by something like a solar sail?

No idea, but "amplification", "electromagnetic fields", "rotating bodies", and "published in Nature" are the keywords that get all the UAP podcasters drooling.

Get ready for an onslaught of "Physics behind flying saucers LEAKED" clickbait coming to a feed near you. Whether any of it is actually applicable doesn't matter, the clicks must flow.

I'm picking up a lot of projection in this reply;

• To know what keywords get UAP podcasters drooling, you must have watched your fair share of UAP podcasts.

• Your comment is the only one so far to make the association between the article's keywords & UAP, implying that you are yourself making the same association that someone interested in watching UAP podcasts would be making, in which case..:

• ...what is the difference between you and the would-be viewer of the next UAP podcast you are warning away?

They’ve been coming up on the front page of Reddit several times this year. I’m in agreement with the OP and I’ve only casually observed those threads

Another confirmation. I see it in my /r/all list fairly frequently. I am neither subscribed, a reader of said posts, or a believer in any of that (or at least, i avoid belief until it feels there is reasonable supporting evidence).

Though i don't recognize all of the terminology of OP, so perhaps that disqualifies my observation.

Besides reddit front page, this stuff also appears in enough other pop culture podcasts and the occasional NYT expose that it's out there in the popular zeitgeist. Unfortunately, here it's just my science immune system flaring up on a random internet board.

Also, between the "could this be used for vehicles" parent comment and that downvoted interdimensional energy transfer comment below, it doesn't take a Aliens-Did-the-Pyramids Guy to see what dots were starting to be connected... I might as well be the one to flag it explicitly and earn some imaginary internet points.

But who knows, maybe I'm actually the goberment disinformation agent trying to keep all this under wraps...
