==Abstract==

The lifter phenomenon is explained entirely I terms of known forces. Lifters are essentially asymmetrical capacitors. Charges leak off the wires of these devices more rapidly than they leave the strips, creating an asymmetrical space charge. A quantitative analysis should therefore show that lift is attributable to unbalanced electrostatic pressures.[[Category:Scientific Paper]]
