Thanks for tracking down a Wikipedia article that has citations. It didn’t originate with me and I didn’t intend to give that impression!

I’m quite disappointed with that article though. It has the heading of “discredited theories” and then lots a bunch of articles proposing the idea and demonstrating that it could in principle work, even in crude setups. Then at the very end cites a Mythbusters episode for debunking it.

My, Wikipedia has fallen.
