Lifter Carousel (08 Sep 2002)

In previous experiments with the lifter in a vacuum I was unable to generate enought thrust to turn the rotor at the very low pressures. This was due to the plasma discharge which keeps the voltage at a low value. Above is my new experiment to show that the lifter can produce a force against space itself. The lifter is at atmospheric pressure but is contained in a plastic container (I'll bet you can't guess where I got this handy device..) Piece of Cake.. (no pun intended). Of course, for a propulsion system to be completely enclosed and to produce a force against space is impossible according to Newtons Laws. Fortunately Einstein has already proven that Newton laws are not (completely) correct a long time ago. The carousel is mounted on low friction pin point bearings. Here the power is off.

Here the power supply is turned on, and the rotor begins to turn in the clockwise direction. This is a transient behavior due to the lifter thruster reacting against the internal air, accelerating it in a circular fashion.

Here the power supply is on and the rotor settles down to a constant dc offset. This is the interesting part (which I believe is due to electro-gravity). My first reaction was that the rotor just happened to come to rest here. But this is not a stable equilibrium. You see not matter how hard I tried to balance the carousel, there still is a potential minimum it rests at (and this present position is not it) This implies a constant force is required to keep it here. (I have more to say about this later)

This is a second after the power supply is turned off. The carousel turns in the reverse direction. This of course is a transient due to the circulating air in the cake box reacting with the walls of the container as it comes to rest.

Finally the rotor comes to rest at the minimum potential position, near where it originally started. This experiment looks like it has the potential to prove the T. T. Brown effect is real! (more experiments to come....) On a final note.. remember people, we still need skeptics in the world, no matter how dumb and un-scientific they may be. How else can we prevent science from making advancements too rapidly??? (I just needed to say that:)

(more) Lifter Carousel (15 Sep 2002)

Above is a side view of the plastic cake box that completely encloses the lifter. I have performed a second experiment to get rid of the forces caused by air transients (the starting and stopping of air in the enclosing container). There is a residual force which is not due to these transients.

What I did to get rid of the transients, is I applied a wooden brake (visible on the lower left side of the carousel) before and during the turning on of the power supply. This prevents the carousel from moving while the internal air is being accelerated. Then after the internal reaches steady state, I remove the brake. Unbelievable.... the carousel still moves (every action has a equal and opposite re-action. If the air is circulating at a constant velocity, no acceleration -> no reaction). To complete the proof, I put the brake on during turn off of the power supply. The carousel returns to its rest position after the brake is removed for the second time (showing that the original position was a potential minimum, gravitationally speaking). The conclusions that I draw from these experiments are: 1. If the elector-gravity effect exists, it is much smaller than the ion wind effect (at least for this type of lifter.) 2. If electrostatic charging of the cake box, bearing hysteresis due to friction, and balance of rotor shifting, can be ruled out as sources of error, (which I believe they can, but still looking in to) this seems to imply that the e-g effect can exert a force against space itself.
