I have an idea of a vehicle which will fly in a magnetic field (such
as the the magnetic field of the Earth). If somebody doubts that it
can work please explain why. If anyone knows a similar construction,
please let me know.

Can it actually fly?

Perhaps but it just needs a lot of power.

Bang enough current through a wire and it will twitch as it interacts
with the earths magnetic field to form a motor.

Can we calculate how much this "lot" is? I'm not an electric engineer
and so don't know the limits of the modern electric technology. So it
would be pointless if I tried to calculate it myself.

I am more interested about the integrated circuit without mechanically
moving details. It looks like for me that this can actually fly (if
not now then in some future).

I think this is an interested topic to calculate for people knowing
electric engineering better than I do.

You obviously don't know much about anything.

The place to start would be basic physics to calculate what sort of
magnetic field would be required to lift something of a given weight.

The next step would be to determine what it would take to generate that
sort of field.

At that point you would likely discover that the weight of the generation
equipment required to "fly" the given weight exceeds the given weight
by orders of magnitue.

What "integrated circuit"?

If you start with the steps above, you will likely find that the currents
involved will far exceed the current ability of any "integrated circuit"
technology unless what you intend to fly is in the milligram range.

Firstly UFO's don't fly anywhere except in US Air Space.

If they flew anywhere else, they just would not be UFO's.

If you can see UFO's then you will never become an electric engineer.
They come in the night, kidnap you if you live in America only,
and nix your brain so that you can't understand basic physics.

Its down to us who can't see UFO's to do the basic engineering
like reading it up in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field
and come to the conclusion the wires would burn up long before
you got enough strength to fly.

If room temperature super conductors become available it might be worth
doing the sums but for now it's just a waste of time.
