American Alchemy / Jesse Michels ↗YouTube-hosted preview and player; not relicensedBuhler led electrostatics work at Kennedy Space Center and in 2023 announced a 'new force' from electrostatic pressure producing thrust without propellant. No peer-reviewed confirmation has been published. The corpus interviews him about the claim.

Claims made
Charles Buhler's Exodus team claims ~1 mN thrust in air at ~480 V and ~2.5 mN in vacuum from an 'electrostatic pressure force' across thousands of test articles, with patents filed and APEC talks — and as of mid-2026 no mainstream peer-reviewed paper and no independent replication, while NASA's own earlier vacuum test of Biefeld-Brown geometry found no force.

see about 0.1 g, that corresponds to about 1 mN of thrust. Only this time with modern instruments, more rigorous controls, and decades

Buhler reports the thrust persists after power is switched off while fields remain, and concludes the effect 'has to be a quantum mechanical effect' because it does not conserve energy classically.
