[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] Bond quoted: [i]"Arcjets accomplish this by passing the propellant through an electric arc that heats it before it expands through a nozzle."[/i] You pose that the "electric arc" component might be what those ring-pads are? Interesting. One relevant observation is the attack on the Osiris, in [i]Animatrix[/i]; after the sentinels had cut off the main starboard hoverpad-array, the Osiris started spinning clockwise and crashed into the ground. So if the side-emitters work against some sort of "pushing"-action emmitted by the emitters on the opposite side, it must mean the whole levitation technique operates kind of like old chimney-sweep acrobatics. A sweep worked his way up a vertical tunnel by pushing his hands and feet outwards, pinning himself between the walls. [/QB][/QUOTE]
