Well, no entirely, it uses electricity for what passes for fuel. it males the air positively charged, then draws it toward a negative electrode. This air flow is the forward thrust.
if you put another cell behind the first, you can speed it up more. A third cell would be faster still....
If you make the electricity with a hydrogen based fuel cell, the fuel becomes the hydrogen gas. The exhaust is water.

Okay, I guess we have learnt enough to build one our self, what do you think @smithlabs ? :P Lets do it now, and put our name to the record books :D
Jokes apart, you really have some solid information/knowledge about aviation
It would be fun for sure! I have so much I need to do first, it will have to wait. I have several pages of new stuff I need to build first.
I like aviation, My Son in Law is an A&P, so he can rebuild crashed airplanes.
I am working on a deep well oil recovery pump, that will lift oil from 5000 feet deep.
