I think I can reconcile these for the readers as follows. Since the beam spreads out by only 1 degree (after you improved the drive to allow higher flight), the new beam was now too narrow for a firm foundation at low altitudes. Thus, you ALSO needed to send a portion of the beam out angled to the sides, front and back to provide stability. Readers can think of them like outriggers. When you provided these extra beams at low altitude, pointing out at an angle, they also provided push as you would expect. However, these extra beams used up energy. At higher altitudes, with the main beam spreading out more, you did not need these “outrigger beams” and so the drive is more efficient.
Now that I have the secret, if only I had some of that wonderful alloy -- Jetsons here I come!
Most thankfully,
Mr. Bob Lee
