		The first is the saucer shaped one and the second is one involving a small dome shape.
		The main difference between the two is that the saucer device always moves in the direction of the wire that is in front of the saucer whereas the dome device always moves in the direction of the positive thereby making it a strong candidate for the Biefeld-Brown effect.
		I tested by placing the saucer device in a clear plastic tube whose ends I could cover as needed (my first tests were to actually place the device in two cake containers but the fit was two tight).

	Flying Saucers
		Larger fanblade saucer designs, created to maintain the illusion of the saucer shape, are involved and expensive to build because of the complexity of the turbine and required strength of the turbine for landings.
		With the heavier saucer spinning while landing (despite the combined drag of the saucer and the chute), the motor ends are somewhat more likely to damage the mount.
		These saucers tend launch vertically and descend downwind (and somewhat to the left or right based on direction of spin) unless a chute is deployed.

		If the saucer domes are kept small in size, such as 1 or 2 acres in size, then the domes are presently practical to build.
		The saucer domes use hydroponics, and enclosed, energized, and pressurized environments to accelerate food growth and increase size by using different florescent and pressure energy fields to activate plant genes to grow larger, and accelerate the speed of time to cause the plants to grow larger and faster.
