...e to convince the brass of the outfit to invest further into the project.

Enterprise (the model) was carefully deposited in the chamber, tied to a fishing line. The AA cell battery charger operated by a vidscreen remote would initiate the rotation of the drive. Yes, in order to fully extrapolate more speed, the drive would also be rotary, not like the early years of Mazda, with a spinning piston of sorts, but the actual chamber would spin. The objective of the battery charge was to begin the rotation with a belt driven motor similar to of all things, a vacuum cleaner. Once the test chamber was sufficiently transformed into a near vacuum by using one to remove most of the air contents, the test could begin. The theory was that once in motion, any matter no matter how infinitessimal would be sent through the venturi and continue its propulsion enough to disengage the battery drive, and quite effectively become a zero emmisions spacecraft.

Now we wait to see if it works.
