It uses microwaves in a closed bell
A magnet does the same thing. An electromagnet is very similar.
What they are saying is this creates thrust with an electric field, without magnetism.
We know that can be done as well.
It does not violate conservation of energy any more than a magnet violates conservation of energy.
Let us see it use thrust to translate distance or to gain gravitational energy. It should require energy input to do that.
I can’t find a patent or application, but lots for elextrostatic devices. Here is an interview with Buhler.

“Sounds a bit quackery to me.”
As I am reading about this it looks more and more like an investment scam.
Hmmm..
That’s what she said just before the bed broke...

In addition, our attempts to reconcile the mathematics of relativity and cosmology with that of quantum mechanics have generated string theory. Yet experimental or observational proof of string theory is so far lacking in spite of physics professorships in the subject.
Now we have a credible and well-credentialed experimenter offering proof of a new force in the form of his "impossible" engine that generates motion without propellant. And there is an Italian physicist and inventor working in south Florida who claims to be nearing a practical commercial device that produces copious electric power through a form of cold fusion. Who knows but in a decade or two we may be flitting about like the Jetsons.
Absolutely true.
“The highest we have generated on a stacked system is about 10 mN,” Buhler told The Debrief. “The magnitude is not important, really, since anything above zero would work in space!” …Sure would like some independent verification. Wouldn’t you?
From The Road Not Taken, a short story by Harry Turtledove, about a technologically backwards conquering race discovering hyperdrive and anti-gravity drive.
‘defy the known laws of physics’ = the pre-emptive strike to call it a hoax eventually. Funny, I just watched a video of the US Patents office manipulation of whose patent is confiscated by the government for the purpose of national security (and economy) - Truman signed into law in 1951
My brother in law called Peter Pan Dick Skillet!
Here’s the patent title and summary with link. It looks like the force imbalance produces thrust without needed fuel in the form of mass that gets ejected. Energy still has to be inputted.

A system and method for generating a force from a voltage difference applied across at least one electrically conductive surface. The applied voltage difference creates an electric field resulting in an electrostatic pressure force acting on at least one surface of an object. Asymmetries in the resulting electrostatic pressure force vectors result in a net resulting electrostatic pressure force acting on the object. The magnitude of the net resulting electrostatic pressure force is a function of the geometry of the electrically conductive surfaces, the applied voltage, and the dielectric constant of any material present in the gap between electrodes. The invention may be produced on a nanoscale using nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes. The invention may be utilized to provide a motivating force to an object. A non-limiting use case example is the use of electrostatic pressure force apparatus as a thruster to propel a spacecraft through a vacuum.
a very interesting post
