Below is an article I wrote that attempts to explain the Biefield-Brown
|
|
effect. Hope it helps.......................................Paul Stowe

|
Electro-Dynamics and its Application to Propulsion
|
|
|
|
The term "Electro-Dynamics" applies to all systems that utilize electrical
|
|
charge or potential to create useful work. This term therefore includes
|
|
standard electrical circuits and due to the nature of electromagnetism will
|
|
include magnetic properties. However, what sets electro-dynamics systems
|
|
apart is they ignore the magnetic effects in the design of the system. A
|
|
simple example of an electro-dynamic device is a flashlight.
|
|
|
|
As applied to propulsion, electro-dynamic systems are predominantly ion
|
|
generators and Grad E electron/ion/dielectric accelerators. Most ion devices
|
|
will by the very nature of their design, be of the later type.
|
|
|
|
It was the physicist T.T. Brown who probably held the most patents pertaining
|
|
to these Grad E propulsive concepts. The most interesting result of Brown's
|
|
work is his controversial claim that such Grad E systems will continue to
|
|
produce thrust in a hard vacuum, albeit the thrust is significantly reduced
|
|
(by many orders of magnitude).
|
|
|
|
He put the minimum required voltage for such vacuum systems at 250KV with
|
|
practical operational requirements at greater than 500KV. In the presence of
|
|
a dielectric medium (such as air, oil, ..etc) this voltage could be reduced to
|
|
the 100KV range to produce practical measurable thrust.
|
|
|
|
As far as I can tell from studying his design notes, T.T. Brown clearly
|
|
identified the Grad E effect as being related to gravitation. Specifically,
|
|
he saw that a directionalized Grad E produces an acceleration field, and that
|
|
this field, when superimposed on a gravitational acceleration field, could
|
|
either enhance or reduce the observed affect on the masses contained therein.
|
|
|
|
He never claimed that the electric gradient WAS gravitation only that it could
|
|
directly modify observed gravitational effects. Thus the term Electro-
|
|
Gravitics was coined. Much has already been written on this topic and the
|
|
focus of this article IS NOT to duplicate these discussions.
|
|
|
|
The focus of this article is to provide the reader a means of easily
|
|
visualizing what this electrical gradient is and how to produce this effect.
|
|
|
|
To this end, let's start by visualizing an electrical gradient. In this
|
|
we will use a fluid flow analog. This approach is not at all uncommon and an
|
|
example found on page 210 (Figure 7-18) of "Physics for Scientist and
|
|
Engineers", Lobkowicz and Melissinos, Volume 2 is a classic representation.
|
|
Quoting this caption:
|
|
|
|
"More fluid analogy: If the same amount of fluid flows through different
|
|
areas "S", the velocity is indirectly proportional to the area size. We
|
|
conclude that the electric field magnitude is proportional to the DENSITY
|
|
OF THE FLUX LINES."
|
|
|
|
Taking this exact example further, consider a typical convergent nozzle
|
|
(Rocket Nozzle), in this discussion flow will be from the small end to the
|
|
large end. In this case, the fluid velocity is greater at the inlet that at
|
|
the outlet, resulting in the deceleration from inlet to outlet. This
|
|
decelerative action in the fluid results in an observed thrust on the nozzle.
|
|
|
|
The direction of thrust in the above case is towards the small (convergent)
|
|
end of the nozzle (typical rocket effect). Mathematically, we can state this
|
|
as:
|
|
a = (vf^2 - vi^2)/2L
|
|
|
|
Where a is acceleration, vi inlet velocity, vf outlet velocity, and L is
|
|
the length of the of the nozzle.
|
|
|
|
However, if one reverses the flow, the resulting acceleration on the nozzle
|
|
does not reverse, but remains in the same direction. This is a key aspect of
|
|
a flow field gradient, which is: "The resulting reactive acceleration (thrust)
|
|
is always directed towards the convergent (smaller area) end of a nozzle.
|
|
|
|
Applying this directly to electric lines of force, we can clearly visualize
|
|
the "Biefield/Brown Effect".
|
|
|
|
If we take a capacitance device with unequal surface areas, and apply a
|
|
voltage across it, we have a direct analog to the nozzle discussed above (see
|
|
figure 1 below)

Figure 1
|
|
|
|
If the analogy holds, there should be a reactive force on the capacitor in the
|
|
direction of the smaller plate due strictly to the convergence of the
|
|
electrical lines of force.
|
|
|
|
Moreover, along with the above, any dielectric within the electrical gradient
|
|
will polarize, and Feynman's explanation (found in Volume 2, 10-8) which
|
|
states that because each atom is of the order of 10^-8 meters, the induced
|
|
dipole moments experience slightly different magnitudes of electrical
|
|
intensity and thus experiences a slight attraction towards the shaping (small
|
|
end) electrode. This will result in a flow of the dielectric medium (if a
|
|
fluid) or directional stress (if a solid) directed towards the shaping
|
|
electrode.
|
|
|
|
Along with this, if the plates are uninsulated, the aforemention dielectric
|
|
flow can also carry ions/electrons along with it. Thus if the shaping
|
|
electrode is positively charged, electron flow is enhanced creating and ion
|
|
wind effect.
|
|
|
|
What is important to understand is, "if a dielectric is accelerated within the
|
|
gradient, the reactive force will be opposite to the accelerating motion of
|
|
the dielectic fluid, AND THEREFORE THE INITIATING GRADIENT". Stated another
|
|
way, if fluid is moved, the thrust vector will reverse, away from the shaping
|
|
electrode.
|
|
|
|
Clearly, it can be seen that in a vacuum, there will still be a gradient
|
|
produced in the induced electrical field but will be in a reverse direction to
|
|
that induced by dielectric flow. This will create a reactive force on the
|
|
assembly just as the flow nozzle experiences a reactive thrust in response to
|
|
rhe velocity gradient within. Without understanding these competing aspects,
|
|
work in on Biefield/Brown devices can be both confusing and unproductive.
