  This paper analyzes the suitability of a beamed propulsion concept having
properties consistent with the impulse gravity generator described by
Podkletnov et al. [physics/0108005]. The use of this propulsion concept for
orbital maneuver, Earth-to-orbit, interplanetary, and interstellar applications
based on presently available experimental results and theory is considered, and
areas for future research needed to better characterize this phenomenon are
discussed. A beam of radiation or particles with the properties described for
the impulse gravity generator would appear to be an excellent candidate for use
in beamed spacecraft propulsion. Besides the usual benefits of beamed
propulsion, it would not need sails or other special spacecraft components to
function, could safely provide high accelerations to delicate components, and
might operate at higher efficiencies than other beamed propulsion concepts.
