Jim Kata said:Yes, I know it is not anti gravity, but what mechanism do you think causes it. Could someone theoretically show me how an asymmetric capacitor can overpower its mass even with something like 60 keV between the conductors. I just don't see how a capacitor lifts off the ground no matter what voltage I put between the plates. I don't think it is something exotic like a Casimir effect, but what is it, pure electrostatics?

A lifter is a device that is used to lift or move objects. It is often operated by a motor or other power source and can be designed for different types of lifting tasks.
There are several types of lifters, including hydraulic lifters, pneumatic lifters, electric lifters, and manual lifters. Each type has its own unique characteristics and is suited for different lifting tasks.
Lifters work by using a power source, such as a motor or air compressor, to generate force that is then used to lift or move objects. The specific mechanism and components may vary depending on the type of lifter.
When using lifters, it is important to follow all safety guidelines and instructions provided by the manufacturer. This may include proper training, wearing appropriate protective gear, and regular maintenance of the lifter.
Lifters are commonly used in various industries, such as manufacturing, construction, and transportation, for lifting and moving heavy objects. They can also be used for tasks such as loading and unloading trucks, assembling machinery, and positioning materials.
