good point. I have seen effects observed at small scale not translate to larger scales. An example is an effect measured in a tiny working model which was merely due to the heat generated by the device. This thermal gradient was dominant at small scales, but was swamped by other forces and factors as you scaled the device up. The device just didnt work when it was scaled up. The initial experimental results were "real" but misinterpreted.

Not saying this is the case with the NASA trials, but It would be good to see a model of the NASA device and the experimental parameters.
