Thrust from ElectroGravitics - Whatever THAT is..
|
||
|
||
"It seems that UFO propulsion systems that utilize the terrestrial
|
||
magnetic field are theoretically sound. But the question of
|
||
practicability is something that comes from technological
|
||
development of the proposed system. As yet, the Rotating Capacitor
|
||
Space Drive I have proposed has not been reduced from the conceptual
|
||
stage to the hardware stage. The principles of its operation are
|
||
merely the result of the applications of conventional physical
|
||
principles.
|
||
|
||
"What is not the result of conventional principles, is the
|
||
possibility that the system I have proposed may demonstrate some of
|
||
Townsend Brown's electrogravitic effects (INTERAVIA, Volume XI, No.
|
||
5, 1956). Electrogravitic thrust, under this system, occurs only
|
||
during the charging process and in the direction of the positive
|
||
plate.
|
||
|
||
In the Rotating Capacitor, using the Wimshurst machine, charging
|
||
would be a continuous process because of the dielectric breakdown at
|
||
some 'threshold voltage'. The possibility of getting additional
|
||
thrust from electrogravitics is exciting, to say the least, and must
|
||
be investigator thoroughly.

"My library research shows that as early as 1917, a Professor Nipher
|
||
had found that the weight of substances could be reduced (become
|
||
negative) by the application of electrostatic charges. (Science,
|
||
Sept. 21, 1917, page 173).
|
||
|
||
Dr. Charles Brush, in a series of reports in the PROCEEDINGS OF THE
|
||
AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY around 1922 found, in some well-
|
||
thought-out-experiments, that weight was not only proportional to
|
||
mass, but was affected by the atomic structure of the substances.
|
||
|
||
For example, he found that for a given unit of mass and shape,
|
||
bismuth FALLS FASTER than zinc or aluminum, in complete
|
||
contradiction to Newton's Law of Gravity which they are still
|
||
teaching in colleges today!
|
||
|
||
Why have these experiments been ignored! Why have these experiments
|
||
been ignored? What does the scientific community have to say about
|
||
the experiments of Townsend Brown, Brush and Nipher?
|
||
|
||
So far, the literature hasn't given me an answer. Incidentally,
|
||
Otis Carr's work involved counter-rotating charged discs that
|
||
supposedly produced thrust when they reached a certain speed in
|
||
relation the the earth's rotational speed and became activated by
|
||
free energy from space. Maybe he did have something."
