well so far ive designed and completed preliminary testing on the em field i plan to "restrain" the electrons in a sphere as a box would be impossable once i finish my calculations i should be able to use the electrons to power the field as well as provide almost unlimited power to the consumer. on market by 12/21/12

Even lithium baterry would not give a long autonomy to the plane.

Be interesting to see how that pack and motor perform when hot I have seen a many dc motor controllers burn out the control circuit that must be a big silicon rectifier !

But that's not how electricity works electrons aren't expended they just lose energy.
