Still very interested in your original idea Allen. Here's some links. You probably are already aware of this stuff but am posting it as info for all.

US20100102174A1 - Wingless Hovering Of Micro Air Vehicle - Google Patents

https://www.google.com/patents/US20100102174

Embodiments of the subject invention relate to a Wingless Hovering Micro Air Vehicle (WHOMAV) and its Power Source Unit (PSU). Embodiments can operate at reasonable power levels for hovering and withstanding expected wind gusts. Embodiments of the subject invention can have a diameter less than 15 cm. Embodiments can have one or more smooth (continuous curvature) surface and can be operated using electromagnetic and electrohydrodynamic principles. The wingless design of specific embodiments can allow operation with no rotating or moving components. Additional embodiments can allow active response to the surrounding flow conditions. The issue of low lift to drag ratio and degradation of airfoil efficiency due to the inability of laminar boundary layers attachment can also be significantly reduced, or eliminated. The electromagnetic force can be generated by applying a pulsed (alternating/rf) voltage between a set of grounded and powered electrodes separated by a polymer insulator, dielectric, or other material with insulating properties.
