It doesn't sound like it's outside the engineering capabilities of a modest college physics lab, assuming there's no "secret sauce" in your designs that you're keeping to yourself for commercial reasons.
BTW, would you agree with the statement that a hypothetical M-E flywheel generator is 2L compliant because it increases the entropy of the causally connected universe by lowering its temp? I've been trying to explain it that way to people; hopefully I didn't misunderstand anything too badly there.
So, can anyone get on this mailing list, or only PhDs? Alas, I only have a Master's.
TallDave:
Anyone interested in the M-E can be on Woodward's e-mail list by just asking Woodward to be put on it. And your masters may beat my BSEE with minors in math and physics dependent on what subject matter covered for your degree, but I've spent the last 13 years hammering this topic to the point I could probably get a masters and a PhD out of the deal if I were so inclined, which I'm not at the moment. I simply want to build starships, and this is where it’s at, so here I am.

It's a plausible way to describe the outcome of using an M-E generator, but it's not necessarily the correct explanation, for we have yet to deal with this 4D spacetime time “momenergy” transfers in a way that is understandable to all.

The fabrication of M-E experiments and the execution of M-E tests could be done by proficient college juniors, seniors and graduate students under direction of a Professor like Jim Woodward, as Tom Mahood will attest to. The tricky part is to have at least one proficient SRT/GRT/experimentalist on hand to keep the less experienced folks going down the myriad number of blind alleys to nowhere that we have already traversed over the last 13 years for me and 25+ years for Woodward. So yes it’s possible, but be prepared to back up and punt on a number of occasions as you learn the M-E ropes. Hopefully this situation will improve as we get more resources to apply to this M-E onion, but we are still early in this process.
Best,
