From what i understand, an intense electro-magnetic field is supposed to eliminate or greatly reduce the effect of gravity (from sources outside the field) on the object within the field. This "dimension shift" must occur with an even stronger field. This means the craft would have to produce a large amount of power and would have to be rather big. That is, unless, we already have some access to a new power source that no on wants anyone to know about (other than the countless forms the oil companies have bought up and wont release.)

Edit: Also, this is pretty much how the engines on star trek are supposed to work. Those engines supposedly create a bubble of "subspace" around the starships, thus removing them from any limitations real space would place on the ship. The ship itself is notwhat moves when at warp but the bubble itself that cuts it's way through real space by pinching the forward end of the field.

Kinda interesting how acurate star trek is turning out to be. Next thing you know we'll be bouncing a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish.
