1. This is not anything like a force field
2. Force fields are Star Trek, not Star Wars
3. This obviously won't work anyway

First Lockheed pretends they can do fusion "any day now"; now Boeing thinks they can magically block explosions.

While I do remain skeptical, I don't see why this "obviously won't work". I'd like to see proof of it working, or a more in depth discussion of the physics and engineering involved. It kind of sounds like it would need a lot of electrical energy, which may render it unfeasible in the field.
