Conquest of Space

There is a good chance that the rocket will be obsolete for space
|
|
travel within 50 years. Some of us have been concentrating on the
|
|
development of the rocket as the possible power plant for outer
|
|
space propulsion. We've fired a lot of them and we've proved that
|
|
they will work in outer space. We've also learned a lot about
|
|
what's out there by using rockets. And probably we will take the
|
|
first few faltering steps into space with rocket power plants.
|
|
|
|
But recent discoveries indicate that the spaceship of the future may
|
|
be powered by anti-gravity devices. These, instead of using brute
|
|
force to overcome gravity, will use the force of gravity itself much
|
|
as an airplane uses the air to make it fly.
|
|
|
|
Sir William Crookes, the English scientist who developed the
|
|
cathode-ray tube we now use for television, made extensive
|
|
investigations of levitation phenomena - a field that once belonged
|
|
to vaudeville magicians.
|
|
|
|
Scientists, reasoning that if they believed his reports of weird
|
|
green glows in vacuum tubes they should also look into Crookes'
|
|
LEVITATION STUDIES, have been making slow but steady progress.
|
|
|
|
Others have been investigating the fields of GRAVITIC ISOTOPES, JET
|
|
ELECTRON STREAMS and the MECHANICS OF THE ELECTRON SHELLS OF ATOMS.
|
|
|
|
Townsend T. Brown, an American investigator, has gone even further
|
|
than that. There are rumors that Brown has developed a real anti-
|
|
gravity machine. There are many firms working on the problems of
|
|
anti-gravity - the Glenn L. Martin Co., Bell Aircraft, General
|
|
Electric, Sperry-Rand Corp. and others.
|
|
|
|
Rumors have been circulating that scientists have built disc
|
|
airfoils TWO FEET IN DIAMETER incorporating a VARIATION OF THE
|
|
SIMPLE TWO-PLATE ELECTRICAL CONDENSOR (..capacitor...), which,
|
|
charged to a potential of 50,000 volts has achieved a SPEED OF 17
|
|
FEET PER SECOND with a TOTAL ENERGY INPUT OF 50 WATTS.
|
|
|
|
A three-foot diameter disc airfoil charged to 150 Kilovolts turned
|
|
out such an amazing performance that THE WHOLE THING WAS IMMEDIATELY
|
|
CLASSIFIED.

|
FLAME-JET GENERATORS, making use of the electrostatic charge
|
|
discovered in rocket exhausts, have been developed which will supply
|
|
charges UP TO 15 MILLION VOLTS.
|
|
|
|
Several important things have been discovered with regard to gravity
|
|
propulsion. For one, the propulsive force doesn't act on only one
|
|
part of the ship it is pushing; it ACTS ON ALL PARTS WITHIN THE
|
|
GRAVITY FIELD created by the gravitic drive.
|
|
|
|
It probably IS NOT LIMITED TO THE SPEED OF LIGHT.
|
|
|
|
Gravity-powered vehicles have apparently changed direction,
|
|
accelerated rapidly at very high g's and stopped abruptly WITHOUT
|
|
ANY HEAVY STRESSES BEING EXPERIENCED by the measuring devices aboard
|
|
the vehicle and within the gravity-propulsion field.
|
|
|
|
This control is done by changing the direction, intensity and
|
|
polarity of the charge on the condenser plates of the drive unit, a
|
|
fairly simple task for scientists.
|
|
|
|
Sounds incredible, doesn't it? But the information comes from
|
|
reliable sources. We are licking the problems of gravity.
|
|
Indications are that we are on the verge of tapping a BRAND NEW
|
|
GROUP OF ELECTRICAL WAVES WHICH LINK ELECTRICITY AND GRAVITY.
|
|
|
|
Electronic engineers have taken the electrical coil and used it as a
|
|
link between electricity and electro-magnetism, thus giving us a
|
|
science of electro-magnetics which in turn has given us such things
|
|
as radio, television, radar and the like.
|
|
|
|
Now, gravity researchers seem to think that the condenser will open
|
|
up the science of electro-gravitics. Soon we may be able to
|
|
eliminate gravity as a structural, dynamic and medical problem.
|
|
|
|
Although we will probably use rocket power to make our first
|
|
explorations into space, the chances are now pretty good that this
|
|
will not always be the case. In 50 years we may travel to the moon,
|
|
the planets or even the stars propelled by the harnessed forces of
|
|
gravity.
|
|
|
|
If this seems fantastic, remember that the rocket and the idea of a
|
|
trip to the moon was fantastic 20 years ago. Fifty years ago the
|
|
idea of commercial air travel was utter nonsense.
|
|
|
|
With gravitic spaceships, we may travel to the moon in less than an
|
|
hour, to the planets in less than a day or to the stars themselves
|
|
in a matter of months. We may be able to do it in absolute comfort
|
|
without the problems of zero-gravity or high accelerations.
|
|
|
|
The idea of the rocket becoming obsolete is not a happy idea,
|
|
particularly when so much work has been done on rockets. But we
|
|
have worked on rockets because we believed they were the only type
|
|
of power plant capable of working in outer space.
|
|
|
|
If a better method comes along, why shed tears? After all, our
|
|
basic goal is to travel and explore in space and it doesn't make
|
|
much difference how we do it.
