Although not peer reviewed or replicated, a NASA veteran claims their Propellantless Propulsion Drive, that physics says shouldn’t work, just produced enough thrust to overcome Earth’s gravity (thedebrief.org)

this patent site has descriptive diagrams & results :

Strangely I did not see the diagrams' descriptions.

So the thrust comes from those four diagonal vectors by the 100a label?

Well, kind of yes (or yeah...).
But everything about this is now an oversimplification since science can't describe it properly now.
This image is a simplified schematic describing one of their devices made with the intent of creating an asymmetric electric field which according to the inventors would be somehow related to the trust which they claim they have measured.
There are maybe around 20 of these images included in the patent for which I gave the link and I decided to put one of those images in my comment so users could have an intuitive idea of what their devices could look like ... which is completely different from the bogus image in the post article.

Fx isn't 0
Fy is 0

That's the big take away

Yes ... and this is also part of the reason why I chose this image (out of maybe 20 other from the patent) to be included in my above comment 👍 ΣF~x~≠0
