Hello Richard,

If one believes in that the hydrogen is dumped
around the ship to form a bubble that somehow
is used to open jump space then the Annic Nova's
jump drives have a huge problem to overcome.

The concept that the L-Hyd is converted to energy
which is then directed through a grid forming a
bubble of energy around the hull which somehow
opens jump space the Anni Nova's jump drive
has a different set of huge problems.

I could be wrong but taking a minimum of one
week to a maximum of six weeks does not seem
to be efficient, but then I'm a person that still uses
various sizes of CD music player, a cell phone on the
2G network, and does not own a lap top or something
newer.

It strikes me that these 'collectors' must be incredible efficient!

Perhaps - rather than sunlight - the collectors on the Annic Nova are collecting and concentrating the ambient luminiferous aether, then using this in place of liquid hydrogen to form a jump bubble.
