There is a fairly large body of evidence which supports the idea
of a strong relationship, and possibly an equivalent fundamental
source, for electromagnetism and gravitation. Many references to this
effect are contained in this resource list. But for now, let's forget
about the experimental evidence and theoretical ideas which are
presented here, and begin with first principles.
What if our knowledge of physics had evolved differently?
What if no one had ever given a thought to any theory of gravitation,
before we discovered the principles and theories of electromagnetics
and the two nuclear forces. We might have developed some fairly good
theories which unify the "three" forces. We would know that clumps of
matter are held together primarily by electromagnetic forces. And we
would find experimentally that if we separate some of these clumps of
matter, a small force continues to exist which trys to bring them back
together. Would it seem rational to speculate that this force is something
entirely new and completely different from electromagnetics? Would it
not be a great foolishness to invent something new and call it gravity
and claim that it has no relationship with the known forces, and then
write elaborate mathematical theories which describe it solely as geometry?
Or, would it be more rational to see it as what it probably is --
a manifestation of the electromagnetic forces which we already know
to hold matter together?
Could it be that electric charge is a fundamental thing, and inertial
mass is merely a shadow of something primal, and what we know as a
gravitational field is merely the net result of other primary fields?
Geometrize it if you find it useful to do so, but please recognize that
defining gravity as geometry lends no information to the understanding
of its cause.
Of all the forces we know, there is none stronger than a paradigm.

GENERAL RELATIVITY & QUANTUM COSMOLOGY, ABSTRACT GR-QC/9512027
From: kldalton@cs.clemson.edu
Date: Tue, 12 Dec 1995 11:30:30 -0500
Author(s): Kenneth Dalton
Journal-ref: Hadronic J. 17 (1994) 483-501
Hypothesis: The electromagnetic field is the source of gravitation.
This treatment of gravitation is consistent with the quantum theory
of matter, which holds that electric charge (or `generalized
charge') is the most fundamental attribute of matter. Experimental
predictions of the theory include: (1) any massive body generates a
time-dependent gravitational field; (2) there is a linear
correlation between the gravitational red-shift of a stellar source
and the energy of cosmic rays emitted by that source, given by $
{\Delta \nu}/{\nu_0} = energy (eV)/10^{27} $; (3) the maximum energy
of cosmic rays is $ 10^{27} $ eV; (4) this limit is associated with
an infinitely red-shifted stellar object, an ``electrostatic
black-hole,'' at the potential $ c^2/G^{1/2} = 10^{27} $ volts.
Finally, the theory predicts that the gravitational potential near
any charged elementary particle is many orders of magnitude greater
than the Newtonian value.

Geometric Interpretation of Electromagnetism in a Gravitational Theory with
Torsion and Spinorial Matter
Author(s): Kenichi Horie (KEK Japan)
Comments: Ph.D. thesis, 98 pages, LaTeX file, ca 276kB
Possible geometric frameworks for a unified theory of gravity and
electromagnetism are investigated: General relativity is enlarged by
allowing for an arbitrary complex linear connection and by
constructing an extended spinor derivative based on the complex
connection. Thereby the spacetime torsion not only is coupled to the
spin of fermions and causes a four-fermion contact interaction, but
the non-metric vector-part of torsion is also related to the
electromagnetic potential. However, this long-standing relation is
shown to be valid only in a special U(1) gauge, and it is a formal
consequence of the underlying extended geometry.

-- Section 3.7 Non-Inductive Coils
Several authors have suggested that v x B term in the Lorentz
expression should be called into question. Several unverified
experimental results have ever been made. An experiment is
suggested to test one or several of these theoretical views.
This is an area where the experimental procedure is workable
and the outcome could have direct results in the area of inertia
forces.
During the late 60's William J. Hooper put forth an interesting
theory involving the v x B terms dynamic electrical circuits.
There was and is uncertainty as to the exact physical understanding
of the Biot-Savart-Lorentz law and Ampere's law involving the set
of reaction forces. Peter Graneau has studied these expressions.
Hoopers view was that there are three different types of electric
fields due to the distribution of electric field, and two due
to induction.
At the heart of the issue is the connection of the magnetic field
and its source in the charged particles. EM theory is presently
consistent with the idea that spinning magnetic dipoles create
effects indistinguishable from charged particles. There has been
no critical experiment which can disprove whether a magnetic flux
rotates with its source. If it does co-move with its source then
it is logical to assume that a motional electric field in a fixed
reference frame of the current induces a magnetic field. This
concept is likewise consistent with a field-free interpretation
such as Ampere's original laws.

FREE FALL OF ELEMENTARY PARTICLES: ON MOVING BODIES AND THEIR
ELECTROMAGNETIC FORCES, by Nils Rognerud 1994 (nils@ccnet.com)
(available at the elektromagnum web site)
This paper is a review of the problem of the observable action of
gravitational forces on charged particles. The author discusses the
induced electric fields and the sometimes overlooked unique physical
properties. He analyzes several experiments, showing the reality of
the induced electric fields. The current interpretation, based on the
idea of only one electric field, with certain characteristics, is
compared with alternative approaches.
The Hooper Coil:
The author has tested a setup by pulsing strong currents, opposite and
equal, through multiple parallel conductors. The configuration of the
conductors in this type of experiment will cancel the B-fields, while
still producing an Em field, in accordance with Eq. 4.2. This is
similar to an experiment by Hooper (W. J. Hooper), who successfully
predicted and measured the motional electric field - all in zero
resultant B-field.
Interestingly, all of the above experiments can influence an electron
with a zero B-field, in the region of the electron. This has some
profound implications - one of which is that the motional electric
force field is immune to electrostatic or magnetic shielding.
Experimentally, it can be confirmed that the motional electric field
is immune to shielding and follows the boundary conditions of the
magnetic (not electric) field. The only way to shield a motional
electric field is to use a magnetic shield around the source of the
magnetic flux - containing it at the source. These effects are not
startling if one remembers that the motional electric field is a
magnetic effect and that a magnetic field has a different boundary
condition than the electric field.

Barker places radioactive elements inside the sphere of a
Van de Graaff generator, runs it at a negative potential for several
minutes/hours/days -- and finds that the rate of radioactive decay
is extremely enhanced -- with some relationship to the magnitude of
the negative potential.
The principal investigator undertook a series of experiments to test
the "Barker effect" and the "Keller Catalytic Process" in changing the
rate of radioactive decay of heavy elements (elements heavier than
lead, such as radium, thorium, or uranium, all of which are
radioactive). Barker claims that subjecting radioactive materials to
high electrostatic potentials (50,000 volts to 500,000 volts) can
increase or decrease the rate of radioactive decay, with short
exposures of the high voltage capable of inducing erratic decay rates
which slowly return to normal over a period of weeks. Keller claims
that subjecting radioactive materials to the high heat and fusing
reaction of a chemical process (Keller Catalytic Process) can
eliminate the radioactivity completely.

Otis Carr's work involved counter-rotating charged discs that

relation the the earth's rotational speed and became activated by
free energy from space. Maybe he did have something."
-- James E. Cox
Carr's work is similar in some respects to Hooper's inventions. In both
cases, an anti-gravitational effect is reported to result from equal and
opposite electric currents. Furthermore, one of Hooper's embodiments, the
pancake coil, has an uncanny resemblance to the gravitational shielding
experiments which were recently conducted in Tampere Finland (1992 and 1995).
Except that in the Tampere experiments, the equal and opposite current is
generated in a superconductor disk by way of the Meissner effect. Will we
soon begin to recognize value of the discoveries that Carr made nearly 40
years ago, and Hooper made over 25 years ago?

Experiments were conducted to test assertions from Patent 3,610,971, by W.J.
Hooper that self-canceling electromagnetic coils can reduce the weight of
objects placed underneath. No weight changes were observed within the
detectability of the instrumentation. More careful examination of the patent
and other reports from Hooper led to the conclusion that Hooper may have
misinterpreted thermal effects as his 'Motional Field' effects. There is a
possibility that the claimed effects are below the detection thresholds of
the instrumentation used for these tests.
CASI Accession Number: N95-28893
I have two problems with the methodology used by the NASA scientists in
the above experiment.
First -- The amount of ampere-turns used in the NASA experiment was
substantially lower than the amount used by Hooper. Hooper found that
his effect increased in proportion the square of the current. If you
were motivated to verify that the Hooper effect exists, would you not
try to conduct the experiment with MORE current, rather than less?
Second -- NASA conducted it's tests by energizing the coils and making
measurements in an immediate on-off mode, rather than letting things
run for a while as Hooper did. NASA's reason for doing this was to
avoid errors due to thermal effects. This makes sense. But what does
not make sense is that if you are trying to verify an original experiment
and you make changes, you have an obligation to also conduct the
experiment in it's original mode. To do otherwise is bad science.
But what could be wrong with testing things in an immediate on-off mode?
Well, it can be seen in other experiments that a gravitational effect
sometimes results from macroscopic spin alignment of the quantum
angular momentum of a large number of microscopic particles. It has
been demonstrated in other experiments that it takes time for these
particles to come into alignment. For example in the inventions of
Henry Wallace it sometimes took minutes for the "kinemassic" gravito-
magnetic field to fully manifest itself. The reason that it takes time
for particles to come into alignment, could be much the same reason that
it takes time to permanently magnetize a magnet. Wallace found that the
"kinemassic" effect occurs with elemental materials which have a component
of unpaired spin in the atomic nucleus. This includes all common isotopes
of copper, which of course is the material used in Hooper's coils.
Incidently, NASA essentially has an economic monopoly in the lucrative
market for microgravity materials research.
-- Robert Stirniman
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hooper effect can be readily demonstrated in the "Two Moving
Magnets Experiment". In this experiment, magnetic flux is provided by
equal strength opposite pole magnets, moving uniformly in opposite
directions. The induced motional electric field that is generated
in a conductor, is found to be twice that which would result from
a single magnet, while remarkably, the sum of the magnetic B field
is zero. This experiment is easy to setup and verify in any electronics
laboratory with a pair of magnets, a wire, and a voltmeter. In fact,
you may wrap the conductor, in electrostatic or magnetic shielding,
and find the same result.

Apparently, there are some VERY interesting clues to the nature of the
universe that are related to the phenomenon of SPIN. It might get very
interesting if someone were to make a project of assembling in one place
all the information that has been observed, alleged, suspected, or
speculated about concerning unexpected effects related to spin, along
with all the traditional Newtonian results, stir, add some seasoning,
and see what comes out.
For example, in quantum mechanics, if you want to measure the spin axis
of an electron, you do an experiment in which you ASSUME an axis, make a
measurement of the correlation (the dot product) of that axis with
the actual axis of spin for that electron, and theory says you can
determine at least how close your guess was.
It was a major surprise for the first expermienters with this to find that
the guess was always right: whatever spin axis you assume turns out to be
correct, exactly dead accurate. You must be a VERY good guesser. Out of
this experimental result came the concept of "isospin". Which in itself
is kind of weird in that objects with zero radius can still exhibit spinx.
But I find the idea that the spin is wherever you guess it might be to be
even weirder and to need a better model that predicts this result.

Gravitational Field of a Moving Spinning Point Particle,
by Jaegu Kim, 7 pages,
The gravitational and electromagnetic fields of a moving charged
spinning point particle are obtained in the Lorentz covariant form
by transforming the Kerr--Newman solution in Boyer--Lindquist
coordinates to the one in the coordinate system which resembles the
isotropic coordinates and then covariantizing it. It is shown that
the general relativistic proper time at the location of the particle
is the same as the special relativistic one and the gravitational
and electromagnetic self forces vanish.

of the Korean Physical Society, Vol 27 No 5, Oct 94, Pages 484-492
Jaegu Kim, "Gravitational Field of a Moving Spinning Point Particle",
Journal of the Korean Physical Society, Vol 27 No 5, Oct 94, Pages 479-483
In the above papers, Dr. Kim derives solutions for the Einstein-Maxwell
equations for: a charged massless point particle, a point particle having
mass but no charge, a point particle having mass and charge, a massless
point particle with charge and spin, and finally -- a point particle having
charge, mass, and spin. He determines that there is a region of space
around a charged spinning mass in which the gravitational force is negative.
The ability to generate a negative gravity effect may come as no surprise
to experimenters who have worked with Bose-Einstein condensates, superfluids,
or superconductor material in which the angular momentum of quantum level
particles can become aligned along a "macroscopic" spin axis. And it is
probably also not a surprise to those who have looked at devices such as
the inventions of Henry Wallace, in which a macroscopic body is mechanically
spun at high speed in order to cause a "kinemassic" gravito-magnetic field
due to spin alignment of the nucleus of elemental materials having an odd
number of nucleons (un-paired spin).

Is anyone familiar with the experiments in Tampere Finland, by
Podkletnov et al on weak gravitational shielding from a Meissner
levitating, rotating disk of high-Tc superconducting material?
The paper is: E. Podkletnov and R. Nieminen, Physica C 203 (1992) 441.
E. Podkletnov and A. D. Levit have another paper now, a Tampere
University of Technology report, January 1995 (Finland),
the experiment having being repeated (I assume no one
believed it the first time?).
In the 1st experiment a 5 g sample of silicon dioxide was found
to loose around 0.05 % of its weight when placed at a distance of
15 mm from the SC disk. The SC disk had diameter 145 mm and thickness
6 mm. Under rotation of the disk the effect increased up to 0.3 %.
In the 2nd experiment samples of different composition and
weight (10-50 g) were placed at distances of 25 mm to 1.5 m from
the disk. The mass loss went as high as around 2 %.
I found out about this through a theoretical preprint by Giovanni
Modanese, a Von Humboldt Fellow from the Max Plank institute. The
preprint no. is MPI-PhT/95-44, May 1995. A colleage got it from
hep-th@babbage.sissa.it, paper 9505094. Modanese thinks that it is
something to do with the bose condensate from the SC interacting
with the gravitational field. He uses some non-perturbative quantum
theory on the Regge lattice to attempt to understand the effect.
Must be a little bit like explaining cold fusion with the standard
tools - couldn't be done. We all know what happened to cold fusion
but at the time a professor from my department said in a public
lecture that the product of the believability and the potential
importance if true was of order 1.

Theoretical analysis of a reported weak gravitational shielding effect
Author: G. Modanese (Max-Planck-Institut, Munich)
Report-no: MPI-PhT/95-44 May 1995
Under special conditions (Meissner-effect levitation and rapid
rotation) a disk of high-Tc superconducting material has recently
been found to produce a weak shielding of the gravitational field.
We show that this phenomenon has no explanation in the standard
gravity theories, except possibly in the non-perturbative quantum
theory on the Regge lattice. More data, and independent repetitions
of the experiment are however necessary.
ABSTRACT SUPR-CON/9601001
From: Modanese Giovanni
Date: Wed, 17 Jan 1996 21:54:45 +0100 (MET)
Updating the analysis of Tampere's weak gravitational shielding experiment
Author: Giovanni Modanese
Report-no: UTF-367/96
The most recent data about the weak gravitational shielding produced
in Tampere by Podkletnov and coworkers through a levitating and
rotating HTC superconducting disk show a very weak dependence of the
shielding value ($\sim 1 \%$) on the height above the disk. We show
that whilst this behaviour is incompatible with an intuitive
vectorial picture of the shielding, it is consistently explained by
our theoretical model. The expulsive force observed at the border of
the shielded zone is due to energy conservation.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
NASA is conducting experiments similar to the anti-gravity shielding
experiments done in Tampere Finland. A scientist named Ning Li at the
University of Alabama Huntsville, is reported to be consulting with NASA.
She has written some interesting articles about the relationship between

I haven't had the opportunity to read the articles by Drs. Li and Torr,

interesting comment --
" a detectable gravitomagnetic field, and in the presence of a
time-dependent applied magnetic vector potential field, a
detectable gravitoelectric field could be produced"

There is also some information about Dr Ning Li at:

Dr Li is with the Applied Materials Lab at the University of Alabama

environment -- a peculiar coincidence, or maybe not, with the writing
of physical theories about how to produce anti-gravity in the laboratory.
Here's an unusual article from the website.

Can gravity be 'made' in the laboratory?
A theory that might lead to the creation of measurable manmade
gravitational fields has been developed by physicists at UAH.
If the theoretical work is borne out in the laboratory, it will prove
that physicist Albert Einstein was correct in predicting that moving
matter generates two kinds of gravitational fields: gravito-magnetic
and gravito-electric. The 'artificial' gravitational field would be
generated inside a container made of a superconducting material, said
Dr. Douglas Torr, a research professor of physics and director of
UAH's Optical Aeronomy Laboratory. "I think we can at the very least
generate a microscopic field ..." If Einstein was right, the amount of
gravito-magnetic energy produced by an object is proportional to its
mass and its movement, explained Dr. Ning Li, a research scientist in
UAH's Center for Space Plasma and Aeronomic Research. To create the
artificial gravitational fields, Torr and Li propose placing a
superconducting container in a magnetic field to align ions that are
spinning or rotating in tiny circles inside the superconducting
material. Their theory predicts the existence of ionic spin or
rotation in a superconductor in a magnetic field.

There are persistent rumors among UFO-buffs that NASA already has an
operating microgravity chamber, located in Houston TX and/or Huntsville AL.
One person, Robert Oechsler, reports that he has personally been inside
NASA's antigrav chamber. But, that's another story. For more info, see
the books "Alien Contact" and "Alien Update" by Timothy Good.

Title: Gravity as a coupling of two electromagnetic fields
Author: Vu B Ho
A discussion on a possibility to represent gravity as a coupling of
two equal and opposite electrogmanetic fields. Classically the
existence of equal and opposite electromagnetic fields can be
ignored altogether. However, the problem can be viewed differently
if we want to take into account possible quantum effects. We know
that in quantum mechanics the potentials themselves may be significant
and they may determine the dynamics of a particle in a region where
the fields vanish. (Aharonov and Bohm 1959, Peshkin and Tonomura 1983)
AN EXPERIMENT TO TEST THE GRAVITATIONAL AHARONOV-BOHM EFFECT

The gravitational Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect is examined in the weak-field
approximation to general relativity. In analogy with the electromagnetic AB
effect, we find that a gravitoelectromagnetic 4-vector potential gives rise
to interference effects. A matter wave interferometry experiment, based on a
modification of the gravity-induced quantum interference experiment of
Colella, Overhauser and Werner (COW), is proposed to explicitly test the
gravitoelectric version of the AB effect in a uniform gravitational field.

I recommend you get a copy of Aharonov and Bohm's classic paper
"Significance of Electromagnetic Potentials in the Quantum Theory"
published in The Physical Review in 1959. One of the important things
that Aharonov and Bohm did was to demonstrate that the electromagnetic
potentials are richer in properties than the Maxwell fields. The field
is an artifical mathematical construct from which emerges the whole idea
of a continuum. When you can wean yourself of this intellectual crutch
you will be ready to do real physics. Both GR and QM are addicted to
the same falsehood.
-- Charles Cagle
In the Aharonov-Bohm effect it has been determined theortically and
experimentally that there is a measurable effect on a charged particle
due to the electromagnetic vector potential. Which of course would be no
surprise, except that the effect occurs even in areas of space where
the value of the classical electromagnetic fields vanish. A quantum
phase shift, detectable via particle interferometry, is found to occur
due to the magnetic vector potential A. The effect on a charged particle
occurs in regions which are completely shielded from classical
electromagnetic fields.
A dual of the Aharonov-Bohm effect is the Aharonov-Casher effect,
where it is shown that measurable effects of spin-precession of a
particle's magnetic moment can occur due to the electric potential,
even in areas of space where the classical electrical field is
completely absent.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Prior to the revolutionary paper by Aharonov and Bohm in 1959, the
importance of the electomagnetic potential and related interferometry
effects, was suggested in articles by Edmund Whittaker in 1903 and 1904.
And, what is now known as the Aharonov-Bohm effect, was explicitly
identified in an earlier paper on electron optics by Ehrenberg and
Siday in 1949.
E.T. Whittaker, "On the partial differential equations of mathematical
physics," Mathematische Annalen, Vol 57, 1903, pages 333-355.
In this paper Whittaker demonstrates that all scalar EM potentials have
an internal, organized, bidirectional EM plane-wave structure. Thus
there exists an electromagnetics that is totally internal to the scalar
EM potential. Since vacuum/spacetime is scalar potential, then this
internal EM is in fact "internal" to the local potentialized vacuum/
spacetime.

E.T. Whittaker, "On an expression of the electromagnetic field due to
electrons by means of two scalar potential functions," Proceedings of
the London Mathematical Society, Series 2, Vol 1, 1904, pages 367-372.
In this paper Whittaker shows that all of classical electromagnetics
can be replaced by scalar potential interferometry. This ignored paper
anticipated the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect by 55 years, and drastically
extended it as well. Indeed, it prescribes a macroscopic AB effect that
is distance-independent, providing a direct and engineerable mechanism
for action-at-a-distance. It also provides a testable hidden-variable
theory that predicts drastically new and novel effects.
-- Tom Bearden
W. Ehrenberg and R. W. Siday, Proc. Phys. Soc. London, B62, 8 (1949)
Ten years earlier than Aharonov and Bohm, Ehrenberg and Siday
formulated the science of electron optics by defining the electron
refractive-index as a function of electromagnetic potential. Near the
end of their paper, they discuss "a curious effect", which is exactly the
AB effect. On the two sides of a magnetic flux, the vector potential has
different values. This means a different refractive index for two
geometrically equivalent paths. This difference in refractive index
would cause an observable phase shift.

Effects of potentials on charged particles exist even in the region
where all the fields (and therefore the forces on the particles) vanish,
contrary to classical electrodynamics. The quantum effects are due to
the phenomenon of interference. These effects occur in spite of Faraday
shielding. The Lorentz force does not appear anywhere in the fundamental
quantum theory, but appears only as an approximation that holds in the
classical limit. In QM, the fundamental physical entities are the
potentials, while the fields are derived from them by differentiation.

Potential Effect: Aharonov-Bohm Effect of Simply Connected Region
Author: Jun Liu
Comments: Prediction of a new effect. Numerical estimate given for
experimental verification. The referees disagree with each other on
the existence of this effect.
We study a generalization of Aharonov-Bohm effect, the potential
effect. The discussion is focused on field-free effects in simply
connected region, which obviously can not have any local field-flux.
Among the published discussions about this kind of effects, it is
generally agreed that this kind of effect does not exist due to
gauge invariance. However, there are also opinions that this effect
is a trivial variation of Aharonov-Bohm effect and therefore there
is no need to check its existence. To my knowledge, it has never
been tested. My first goal here is to supply enough theoretical
reason to motivate the experimental test of this effect. I start
with an intuitive derivation, then I introduce a wave-front theory
as a theoretical consideration. Logically, the existence of
potential effect implies the existence of the AB effect, but not
vice versa. The purpose of this paper is to provide a physical
connection in the opposite direction.

The Real Significance of the Electromagnetic Potentials
Author(s): J`un L'iu
The importance of the potential is revealed in a newly discovered
effect of the potential. This paper explore the same issue
introduced in quant-ph/9506038 from several different aspects
including electron optics and relativity. Some people fail to
recognize this effect due to a wrong application of gauge
invariance.
In the above two papers, Dr Liu proposes a theory of the electromagnetic
potential which is a radical extension of the well known Aharonov-Bohm
effect. In the second paper he is barely able to contain his frustration
about repeated publication rejections over the last four years from
leading physics journals. He provides a theoretical foundation for his
potential theory, as well as some relatively straight forward suggestions
for experiments which might confirm the theory. But there is an enormous
problem. Liu's theory violates the concept of invariance of physical
parameters under an electromagnetic gauge transformation. Electromagnetic
gauge invariance is a cornerstone in the foundation of quantum theory and
QED, and it is also part and parcel linked with the dogma of light speed
invariance. In other words, heresy.
The AB effect is invariant under an electromagnetic gauge transformation.
While a phase-shift occurs in the AB effect, it can be identified only
over a closed path and is impossible to identify with any specific
"local" region of space. Furthermore, in the AB effect, there is no
interaction relating to a transfer of energy or momentum. Maintaining
the idea of gauge invariance is a little harder to do in the Aharonov-Casher
effect, but it can be accomplished by "gauging away" the physical effects
of magnetic spin precession by using a combination of factors from the
classical Maxwell fields along with the electromagnetic potential. It
has the look of an elaborate parlor trick, but so does most of QED.
Liu's theory predicts that the electromagnetic potential acts like
a kind of "refractive index" to wave propogation, and is similar in
some respects to what was predicted in the earlier paper on electron
optics by Ehrenberg and Siday in 1949. The result is that in some
circumstances an electromagnetic potential causes a change in wavelength,
and in other circumstances causes a change in phase (AB effect). An effect
on wavelength would be manifested as a change in the envelope of the
interference pattern, rather than merely a shift in the pattern. In Liu's
theory an exchange of energy and momentum becomes possible. His theory
is relatively easy to test and verify, but oddly or not, no one has yet
done so. Maybe because we already "know" it can't be true?
One interesting prediction of Liu's theory is that electromagnetic
potential will result in time dilation. He doesn't appear to be
aware that there is already experimental evidence that this occurs.
See references to inventions and experiments by people such as Saxl,
Barker, and Keller, which demonstrate time dilation in an electric
potential. Time dilation can be viewed equivalently as a shift in
wavelength. Liu wishes for someone to conduct an experiment to test
for a change in wavelength by using a quantum interferometer. A fine
idea. But what about those experimenters who have already measured
this effect with a clock? Also see a variety of references here to
theories and experiments which relate the scalar electric potential
to the gravitational field, and time dilation is a well know, and
experimentally verified, prediction of general relativity.
The Aharonov-Bohm effect has sparked a revolution in physical thought.
There are a variety of new ideas and experiments, such as verification
of Liu's theory, which could soon begin to fan it to a flame. When the
flame becomes sufficiently illuminating, watch the political scientists
begin to scramble for a comfortable seat nearer the fire.

Time out for a summary.
. Hooper, as well as Carr, Rognerud, Jefimenko, et al, find that a
electromagnetic effect which is not shieldable, and hence difficult
to distinguish from gravitation, results from equal and opposite
electric currents (dipole-current), and that a similar effect can
also be generated by a moving magnet or a moving electric current.
. Recent experiments in Tampere Finland, discover a gravitational
shielding effect from a levitated rotating superconductor disk.
This is similar in some respects to Hooper's invention, with the
equal-and-opposite electric current being generated in a superconductor
disk via the Meissner effect.
. Sansbury, Volkov, Brown, Teller, Blackett, Zollner, et al, provide
theoretical arguments as well as some experimental indications that
equal-and-opposite electric charge (dipole-charge) is similar, or
equivalent, to a static gravitational field. And that alignment of
electric dipoles in matter and in vacuum polarization, can result in
a force which is not shieldable, and not easily distinguishable from
gravity. Conversely, it is well know that a gravitational field, an
acceleration, or a mechanical force, causes a dipole moment (polarization)
to occur within a dielectric material.
. Wallace, Laithwaite, Barnett, et al, discover that gravitational
and electromagnetic field effects occur due to alignment of the
microscopic spin of quantum particles with the angular momentum
spin axis of a larger macroscopic body.
. Aharonov and Bohm discover that an effect can occur on an electrically
charged particle due to the magnetic vector potential, in regions of
space where the classic Maxwell fields vanish. Originally -- on the
outside of infinitely long solenoid coil (with the magnetic field
cancelled by equal-and-opposite currents). Others have conducted this
experiment using a toroidal coil coated with superconductor material
(generating an equal-and-opposite current) to cause the Maxwell magnetic
field to vanish. A similar effect, Aharonov-Casher is disovered to
occur due to the electric scalar potential, in regions of space where
the Maxwell electric field vanishes.
. Whittaker, and Eherenberg and Siday, have written theories which
are precursors to Aharonov-Bohm, suggesting that the electromagnetic
potential is a far richer and more fundamental thing than the
Maxwell fields. The classical Maxwell fields are regarded as
artifical abstractions. We can also note that Maxwell's theory
itself, was originally much richer in variables (20 equations and
20 unknowns), before it was simplified by Gibbs and Heaviside,
to the vector formlation which we know as "Maxwell's" equations.
. Vu Ho authors a recent paper suggesting experiments relating the
electromagnetic potential and the Aharonov-Bohm effect to gravitation.
And in a more recent paper, using the mathematics of differential
geometry and general relativity, Dr Ho demonstrates that gravity can
be expressed mathematically as a coupling of two equal-and-opposite
electromagnetic fields.
. Jun Liu authors recent papers suggesting that the electromagnetic
potential is of paramount importance. Liu's theory predicts that "local"
effects can result from the potential in regions where the Maxwell
fields vanish -- a violation of the theory of invariance under electric
gauge transformations. Liu theory predicts that time dilation will
occur in an electric potential. Saxl, Barker, and Keller have conducted
earlier experiments which demonstrate time dilation in an electric
potential.
. Ning Li, a consulting scientist to NASA's Marshall Space Center,
who we might presume to know something, authors papers about the
relationship of gravito-electric and and gravito-magnetic forces to
the electromagnetic potential, and methods for generation of
gravitational effects with superconductor material. According to
Dr Li -- "a detectable gravitomagnetic field, and in the presence
of a time-dependent applied magnetic vector potential field, a
detectable gravitoelectric field could be produced."
How many clues do we need? Equal-and-opposite electric sources (dipole-
charges and/or dipole-currents) appear to effect the electromagnetic
potential in ways which are indistinguishable from gravitation. And
you know what they say about things that look like a duck.
The net sum of equal and opposite electromagnetic vectors is a zero
vector, but it is NOT the same situation as no vector. For skeptics and
diehards who are still having a hard time accepting the idea of electro-
gravitics, here's a simple experiment. Stand on a train track between
two locomotives which are pushing on you with equal force in opposite
directions. You will exhibit no net motion. None the less, you may soon
begin to notice that something important is happening.

article titled "Towards Flight without Stress or Strain...

Many documents on Gravitoelectrics/Electrogravitation refer back
to the 1952 Project Winterhaven. That project is said to contain
information on a Mach 3 Combat Disc. Also, have any records related
to other Projects with Mr. T.T. Brown been produced. I have seen his
Lab notes 1 - 3 - 4. I was looking for 2 - 5 & 6. Also, the Bahnson
et al Brown lab notes during his research days at Bahnson Labs in North
Carolina 1957-60 period or about. I have a poor chopped up Lab Video
on the subject. I'm looking for the full video the 45 minute one. Mine
is a mere 23 minutes.
I have yet to track down an original document entitled: "The Flying Saucer:
The Application of the Biefeld-Brown Effect to the Solution of Space
Navigation" by Mason Rose. This 50's document details how a flying saucer
operates. I have a copy of a re-write and it is outstanding.
And I'm also looking for a document as seen on SIGHTINGS TV entitled:
"PROJECT SILVER BUG" the 1955 USAF Flying Saucer Tests.
Also, seeking a copy of PROJECT WINTERHAVEN by Thomas Townsend Brown on
a MACH-3 Combat Disc. The British had a stake in as well as the USAF.
It to is from the 1950's.

The Biefeld-Brown (spelling is correct) effect is described generally
as the anomalous tendency of high voltage flat capacitors to display
movement towards (usually) the positive pole. Effects are most often
seen at potentials above 50kv. Thomas Townsend Brown held a few patents
on devices using it. It's very controversial and is part of the subject
of "electrogravitics", as some say that the BB effect is actually polar
gravity peeking out from behind a high electrical gradient within a
dielectric. Claims are that the mass of the dielectric is a factor in
the magnitude of the effect as well as the capacitance and the gradient
intensity. Should be fairly easy for the home-workshop experimenter to
get a look at, but the difficulty seems to be in isolating the effect
from ionic wind and simple electrostatic propulsive effects. Skeptics
claim that those forces are all it ever was, but a few reports indicate
that they may be wrong.

>From Richard Feynman's Lectures on Physics we learn that there is
intrinsic field energy and momentum density associated with a static
electro-magnetic field configuration. When there is a change in the
magnetic field, this field energy and momentum can be directly
converted into kinetic energy and mechanical momentum. Feynman
illustrates this with an electromagnetic carousel paradox. In this
paradox, a dielectric disk (which is embedded with small charged spheres
along its circumference) rotates without any apparent "counter" torque
in the system. Before this rotation occurs, the dielectric disk is
immersed in a static magnetic field. The subsequent rotation occurs as
a consequence to reducing the previously static magnetic field to zero.
The angular momentum and rotational kinetic energy comes directly from
the initial static magnetic field.

A Report on the T. Townsend Brown Conference:
"Focus on Unconventional Energies: A Symposium on Electrical Propulsion &
the Technology of Electro-Gravity"
April 15-16, 1994 Philadelphia Community College, Philadelphia, PA
This conference was held in tribute to Thomas Townsend Brown and I feel that
it was a great success. About 15 speakers and 80 attendees provided a brief
overview of Zero Point Energy theories, Free Energy devices, electrostatics
theory, and antigravity experiments and documentation. Attendees came from
as far away as California and Washington.
The conference program advertised the following topics: "A Review of

Quotation from a letter to William Moore from T. Townsend Brown dated
12/17/76 --
"I am still working on petroelectricity and the project is
housed largely at Stanford Research Institute with additional assistance
being provided by the University of California - Berkeley and the Ames
Research center of NASA. Unfortunately, under the circumstances, while
this project is being evaluated for funding by ERDA we should not and
cannot publish details..."
"Your next question concerns the airfoils. As far as I am
aware, no rf is radiated. There is, of course, a static d.c. field
which accompanies the airfoils in flight."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is very interesting to note that Townsend Brown was the pioneer in
this field, and was not able to obtain very much support for his work
until the 1950's. During that time, there was much discussion of
gravity and antigravity within the aerospace industry and in the
magazine "Aviation Week." Then the Gravity Research Group (GRG)
published a detailed summary report of their review of research into
"Electrostatic Motion, Dynamic Counterbary, and Barycentric Control"
(i.e. "Antigravity"). This report is the last public report that
any researchers have been able to find for us that deals with the
physical effects of electrostatics, electrodynamics, and gravity control.
(It is also worth noting that this report was found in the Wright
Patterson Air Force Base Library "TL 565 A9" and was not listed in the
library catalog). So, after the mid-1950's to the present, no other
information regarding the technology of electrodynamics and its effect
on gravity has been able to be found in any of the un-classified U.S.
literature.

I have the FIVE (5) lab books of TT Brown's R&D at the Bahnson Co. in
Salem, N. Carolina 1958-9. I also have some other letters and drawings of
the lab plus the only surviving 16mm colour film of the various stages of
his work at Bahnson Labs.
I was in contact with Dr Brown in 1983 by phone and by mail. He died of
lung cancer not long after in Oct of 1985. He told me that a lot of people
including Bill Morre had attributed more to his work than he had really
done. In particular, he was only marginally connected with the Philadelphia
Experiment as such. His main theme of R&D was dielectrics and the
Biefeld-Brown effect. He was not an electromagnetics man... only
electrostatics.
>From 1983 to 1991 or so I was in frequent communication with J. Frank King
who was TT Brown's boss at the Bahnson Co. J. Frank was a good man and a
good friend of mine. He, too, died in Dec 1989. Before he died I was given
rights to reproduce and share letters, files, drawings, patent submissions,
films etc from his personal files on TT Brown, George Adamski, Dr Ilka, T
Henry Moray and others.
J Frank warned me a long time ago to take what TT Brown said with a 'grain
of salt' because Townsend had a habit of 'stretching the truth' a bit to
get funding which he was always in need of.... So, I warn you now in good
faith: If you seek lost or hidden technology in Brown's lab notes, I don't
think you will find it there; however, I am prepared to make photocopies
available to you.
There are about 750 pages in all. I would need to charge you AUS$50 per
notebook which would include the air mail charges as well. In US$ that
would be about US$38 per notebook. The film is available as are the
notebooks (I think) from The Electric Spacecraft Journal in the US

As far as I know, the last thing Brown published before his
death was, "On The Possibilities of Optical-Frequency Gravitational
Radiation", 2/14/1976 and 8/30/1976. I don't know where it was
originally published. But you can get copy from:
Rex Research, P.O. Box 19250, Jean NV 89019
It is part of NR 046-BT2/B17-BRV "T. Brown: Petro-Voltaics"
(Gravito-Electric Conversion). Most people think Brown was just
into flying capacitors he was into much much more...

Title: Remarks on Pure Spin Connection Formulations of Gravity
Authors: Riccardo Capovilla and Ted Jacobson
Abstract: In the derivation of a pure spin connection action
functional for gravity two methods have been proposed. The first
starts from a first order lagrangian formulation, the second from a
hamiltonian formulation. In this note we show that they lead to
identical results for the specific cases of pure gravity with or
without a cosmological constant.

QUANTUM EINSTEIN-MAXWELL FIELDS: A UNIFIED VIEWPOINT FROM THE LOOP
REPRESENTATION, R. Gambini, J. Pullin, 13pp. no figures.
We propose a naive unification of Electromagnetism and General
Relativity based on enlarging the gauge group of Ashtekar's new
variables. We construct the connection and loop representations and
analyze the space of states. In the loop representation, the
wavefunctions depend on two loops, each of them carrying information
about both gravitation and electromagnetism. We find that the
Chern-Simons form and the Jones Polynomial play a role in the model.

Massive Spin-5/2 Fields Coupled to Gravity: Tree-Level Unitarity vs. the
Equivalence Principle, Massimo Porrati, 6 pages.
I show that the gravitational scattering amplitudes of a spin-5/2
field with mass $m\ll M_{Pl}$ violate tree-level unitarity at
energies $\sqrt{s}\approx\sqrt{mM_{Pl}}$ if the coupling to gravity
is minimal. Unitarity up to energies $\sqrt{s}\approx M_{Pl}$ is
restored by adding a suitable non-minimal term, which gives rise to
interactions violating the (strong) equivalence principle. These
interactions are only relevant at distances $d\lequiv 1/m$.

MAXWELL FIELDS IN SPACETIMES ADMITTING NON-NULL KILLING VECTORS, by Istvan
Racz, 7 pages,PACS numbers: 04.20.Cv, 04.20.Me, 04.40.+c
We consider source-free electromagnetic fields in spacetimes
possessing a non-null Killing vector field, $\xi^a$. We assume
further that the electromagnetic field tensor, $F_{ab}$, is
invariant under the action of the isometry group induced by $\xi^a$.
It is proved that whenever the two potentials associated with the
electromagnetic field are functionally independent the entire
content of Maxwell's equations is equivalent to the relation
$\n^aT_{ab}=0$. Since this relation is implied by Einstein's
equation we argue that it is enough to solve merely Einstein's
equation for these electrovac spacetimes because the relevant
equations of motion will be satisfied automatically. It is also
shown that for the exceptional case of functionally related
potentials $\n^aT_{ab}=0$ implies along with one of the relevant
equations of motion that the complementary equation concerning the
electromagnetic field is satisfied.

UPR-0540-T, To appear in Physica Scripta.
The gravitational effect of vacuum polarization in space exterior to
a particle in (2+1)-dimensional Einstein theory is investigated. In
the weak field limit this gravitational field corresponds to an
inverse square law of gravitational attraction, even though the
gravitational mass of the quantum vacuum is negative. The paradox is
resolved by considering a particle of finite extension and taking
into account the vacuum polarization in its interior.

THE FRENET SERRET DESCRIPTION OF GYROSCOPIC PRECESSION B.R.Iyer and
C.V.Vishveshwara , 37 pages, Paper in Latex.
The phenomenon of gyroscopic precession is studied within the
framework of Frenet-Serret formalism adapted to quasi-Killing
trajectories. Its relation to the congruence vorticity is
highlighted with particular reference to the irrotational congruence
admitted by the stationary, axisymmetric spacetime. General
precession formulae are obtained for circular orbits with arbitrary
constant angular speeds. By successive reduction, different types of
precessions are derived for the Kerr - Schwarzschild - Minkowski
spacetime family. The phenomenon is studied in the case of other
interesting spacetimes, such as the De Sitter and Godel
universes as well as the general stationary, cylindrical, vacuum
spacetimes.

Renormalized vacuum expectation values of electromagnetic
stress-energy tensor are calculated in the background
spherically-symmetrical metric of the wormhole's topology. Covariant
geodesic point separation method of regularization is used.
Violation of the weak energy condition at the throat of wormhole
takes place for geometry sufficiently close to that of infinitely
long wormhole of constant radius irrespectively of the detailed form
of metric. This is an argument in favour of possibility of existence
of selfconsistent wormhole in empty space maintained by vacuum field
fluctuations in the wormhole's background.

Generating new magnetic universe solutions from old. By David Garfinkle and
M.A. Melvin. 17 pages
In this paper we apply the techniques which have been developed over
the last few decades for generating nontrivially new solutions of
the Einstein-Maxwell equations from seed solutions for simple
spacetimes. The simple seed spacetime which we choose is the
"magnetic universe" to which we apply the Ehlers transformation.
Three interesting non-singular metrics are generated. Two of these
may be described as "rotating magnetic universes" and the third as
an "evolving magnetic universe." Each is causally complete - in that
all timelike and lightlike geodesics do not end in a finite time or
affine parameter. We also give the electromagnetic field in each
case. For the two rotating stationary cases we give the projection
with respect to a stationary observer of the electromagnetic field
into electric and magnetic components.

Energy-Momentum Restrictions on the Creation of Gott Time Machines, by Sean
M. Carroll, Edward Farhi, Alan H. Guth, and Ken D. Olum. Plain TeX, 41 pages
incl. 9 figures. MIT-CTP #2252.
The discovery by Gott of a remarkably simple spacetime with closed
timelike curves (CTC's) provides a tool for investigating how the
creation of time machines is prevented in classical general
relativity. The Gott spacetime contains two infinitely long,
parallel cosmic strings, which can equivalently be viewed as point
masses in (2+1)-dimensional gravity. We examine the possibility of
building such a time machine in an open universe. Specifically, we
consider initial data specified on an edgeless, noncompact,
spacelike hypersurface, for which the total momentum is timelike
(i.e., not the momentum of a Gott spacetime). In contrast to the
case of a closed universe (in which Gott pairs, although not CTC's,
can be produced from the decay of stationary particles), we find
that there is never enough energy for a Gott-like time machine to
evolve from the specified data; it is impossible to accelerate two
particles to sufficiently high velocity. Thus, the no-CTC theorems
of Tipler and Hawking are enforced in an open (2+1)-dimensional
universe by a mechanism different from that which operates in a
closed universe. In proving our result, we develop a simple method
to understand the inequalities that restrict the result of combining
momenta in (2+1)-dimensional gravity.

DO INERTIAL ELECTRIC CHARGES RADIATE WITH RESPECT TO UNIFORMLY ACCELERATED
OBSERVERS?, George E.A. Matsas, 6 pages (REVTEX 3.0), IFT-P017/94.
We revisit the long standing problem of analyzing an inertial
electric charge from the point of view of uniformly accelerated
observers in the context of semi-classical gravity. We choose a
suitable set of accelerated observers with respect to which there is
no photon emission coming from the inertial charge. We discuss this
result against previous claims [F. Rohrlich, Ann. Phys. (N.Y.) vol:
22, 169 (1963)]. (This Essay was awarded a Honorable Mention for

Spin Dynamics of the LAGEOS Satellite in Support of a Measurement of the
Earth's Gravitomagnetism, Salman Habib, Daniel E. Holz, Arkady Kheyfets,
Richard A. Matzner, Warner A. Miller and Brian W. Tolman, 16 pages, RevTeX,
LA-UR-94-1289. (Part I of II, postscript figures in Part II).
LAGEOS is an accurately-tracked, dense spherical satellite covered
with 426 retroreflectors. The tracking accuracy is such as to yield
a medium term (years to decades) inertial reference frame determined
via relatively inexpensive observations. This frame is used as an
adjunct to the more difficult and data intensive VLBI absolute frame
measurements. There is a substantial secular precession of the
satellite's line of nodes consistent with the classical, Newtonian
precession due to the non-sphericity of the earth. Ciufolini has
suggested the launch of an identical satellite (LAGEOS-3) into an
orbit supplementary to that of LAGEOS-1: LAGEOS-3 would then
experience an equal and opposite classical precession to that of
LAGEOS-1. Besides providing a more accurate real-time measurement of
the earth's length of day and polar wobble, this paired-satellite
experiment would provide the first direct measurement of the general
relativistic frame-dragging effect. Of the five dominant error
sources in this experiment, the largest one involves surface forces
on the satellite, and their consequent impact on the orbital nodal
precession. The surface forces are a function of the spin dynamics
of the satellite. Consequently, we undertake here a theoretical
effort to model the spin ndynamics of LAGEOS. In this paper we
present our preliminary results.

Generation of Electro and Magneto Static Solutions of the Scalar-Tensor
Theories of Gravity, William Bruckman, 28 pages, LaTeX.
The field equations of the scalar-tensor theories of gravitation are
presented in different representations, related to each other by
conformal transformations of the metric. One of the representations
resembles the Jordan-Brans-Dicke theory, and is the starting point
for the generation of exact electrostatic and magnetostatic exterior
solutions. The corresponding solutions for each specific theory can
be obtained by transforming back to the original canonical
representation, and the conversions are given for the theories of
Jordan-Brans-Dicke, Barker, Schwinger, and conformally invariant
coupling. The electrostatic solutions represent the exterior metrics
and fields of configurations where the gravitational and electric
equipotential surfaces have the same symmetry. A particular family
of electrostatic solutions is developed, which includes as special
case the spherically symmetric solutions of the scalar-tensor
theories. As expected, they reduce to the well-known
Reissner-Nordstrom metric when the scalar field is set equal to
a constant. The analysis of the Jordan-Brans-Dicke metric yields an
upper bound for the mass-radius ratio of static stars, for a class
of interior structures.

Modification of the Coulomb potential from a Kaluza-Klein model with a
Gauss-Bonnet term in the action, by H. H. Soleng and O. Gron, 27 pages,
compressed and uuencoded postscript file with unpacking instructions; major
revision to section IV.D.2 on pages 15-16 ("Corrections to the Coulomb
potential at short distances") and to the figure on page 27,
to be published in The Annals of Physics (NY), NORDITA 94/50
In four dimensions a Gauss-Bonnet term in the action corresponds
to a total derivative, and it does not contribute to the classical
equations of motion. For higher-dimensional geometries this term has
the interesting property (shared with other dimensionally continued
Euler densities) that when the action is varied with respect to the
metric, it gives rise to a symmetric, covariantly conserved tensor
of rank two which is a function of the metric and its first and
second order derivatives. Here we review the unification of General
Relativity and electromagnetism in the classical five-dimensional,
restricted (with g55 = 1) Kaluza-Klein model. Then we discuss the
modifications of the Einstein-Maxwell theory that results from
adding the Gauss-Bonnet term in the action. The resulting
four-dimensional theory describes a non-linear U(1) gauge theory
non-minimally coupled to gravity. For a point charge at rest, we
find a perturbative solution for large distances which gives a
mass-dependent correction to the Coulomb potential. Near the source
we find a power-law solution which seems to cure the short-distance
divergency of the Coulomb potential. Possible ways to obtain an
experimental upper limit to the coupling of the hypothetical
Gauss-Bonnet term are also considered.

Recently it has been shown that, if sources are appended in a certain
way to the field equations of Einstein's unified theory, the contracted
Bianchi identities and the field operations appear endowed with definite
physical meaning. The theory looks like a gravoelectrodynamics in a
polarizable Riemmannian continuum. The wealth of the implied possibilities
is far richer than in the so-called Einstein-Maxwell theory.

We investigate all the four-body graviton interaction processes:
gX -> gamma X, gX -> gX, and gg -> gg,
with X as an elementary particle of spin less than two in the
context of linearized gravity except the spin-3/2 case. We show
explicitly that gravitational gauge invariance and Lorentz
invariance cause every four-body graviton scattering amplitude to be
factorized. We explore the implications of this factorization
property by investigating polarization effects through the covariant
density matrix formalism in each four-body graviton scattering
process.

I have recently come into possession of a paper on magneto-gravitics
and field resonance systems, presented by A.C. Holt from NASA Johnson
Space Center to the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics'
16th Joint Propulsion Conference, June 30-July 2, 1980.
Holt presents a project using an already existing system known as the
Coherent Field and Energy Resonance System (CoFERS) [probably located
at Los Alamos Labs' High Magnetic Field Research Laboratory].
CoFERS utilizes a toroidal-shaped energy guide with megagauss magnetic
field sources located along radius vectors equally spaced around the toroid.
CoFERS is shaped like a thick flying disc.
Holt goes on to say: "By converying an object's normal space-time
energy pattern to an energy pattern which differs substantially from the
normal pattern, the gravitational forces acting on the object are changed.
The object's new pattern interacts with the surrounding space-time and
virtual energy patterns, such that the interactive forces are substantially
altered. The alteration of the characteristics of the continuous field of
force results in the apparent motion of the object *through space-time*."
[...] "Since the gravitational forces acting on the propulsion system can be
quickly altered to achieve the desired motion, the *spacecraft* can make
right-angle turns at very-high velocities without adversely affecting the
crew or system elements. The effective gravitational field the *spacecraft/
aircraft* experiences can be nearly simultaneously reoriented at a 90-
degree angle, resulting in a smooth continuous motion as far as the
occupants are concerned." [ ... ] "The gravimagnetic system is perhaps
best suited for use in and around ... a large mass such as the Earth."
"While the gravimagnetic system is likely to be the first field-dependent
propulsion system developed, the field resonance system will **bring stellar
and galactic travel out of the realm of science fiction**. The field
resonance system artificially generates an energy pattern which precisely
matches or resonates with a virtual pattern associated with a distent
space-time point. According to the model, if a fundamental or precise
resonance is established, (using hydromagnetic wave fine-tuning techniques),
the spacecraft will be very strongly and equally repelled by surrounding
virtual patterns. At the same time, through the virtual many-dimensional
structure of space-time, a very strong attraction with the virtual pattern
of a distant space-time point will exist. ...this combination of very
strong forces will result in the translocation of the spacecraft from its
initial position through the many-dimensional virtual structure to the
distant space-time point. [ ... ] "A space-time 'jump' already appears to
be supported by astrophysical research."

The interaction of a gravitational wave with a system made of an RLC

investigated. We show that, in some configurations, the coherent
interaction of the wave with both the mechanical oscillator and the
RLC circuit gives rise to a mechanical quality factor increase of
the electromagnetic signal. When this system is used as an amplifier
of gravitational periodic signals a sensitivity of $10^{-30}$ on the

Spin-orbit and spin-spin effects in the gravitational interaction
are treated in a close analogy with the fine and hyperfine
interactions in atoms. The proper definition of the cener-of-mass
coordinate is discussed. The technique developed is applied then to
the gravitational radiation of compact binary stars. Our result for
the spin-orbit correction differs from that obtained by other
authors. New effects possible for the motion of a spinning particle
in a gravitational field are pointed out. The corresponding
corrections, nonlinear in spin, are in principle of the same order
of magnitude as the ordinary spin-spin interaction.

The Hamiltonian formulation of the motion of a spinning relativistic

approach is based on the introduction of new coordinates and their
conjugated momenta to describe the spin degrees of freedom together
with an appropriate set of constraints in the Dirac formulation. For
particles with gyromagnetic ratio $g=2$, the equations of motion do
not predict any deviation from the standard Lorentz force, while for
$g \neq 2$ an additional force, which corresponds to the magnetic
dipole force, is obtained.

Structure, Erice, August 1995.
The recent series of experiments on polarized lepton-nucleon
scattering have provided a strange new twist in the story of the
nucleon, some of whose aspects are reviewed in these lectures. In
the first lecture, we review some issues arising in the analysis of
the data on polarized structure functions, focusing in particular on
the importance and treatment of high-order QCD perturbation theory.
In the second lecture some possible interpretations of the ``EMC
spin effect" are reviewed, principally in the chiral soliton
(Skyrmion) approach, but also interpretations related to the axial
$U(1)$ anomaly. This lecture also discusses other indications from
recent LEAR data for an $\bar{s} s$ component in the nucleon wave
function, and discusses test of a model for this component. Finally,
the third lecture reviews the implications of polarized structure
functions measurements for experiments to search for cold dark
matter particles, such as the lightest supersymmetric particle and
the axion, after reviewing briefly the astrophysical and
cosmological evidence for cold dark matter.

"Mechanical Propulsion From Unsymmetrical Magnetic Induction Fields"
by: R.L. Schlicher A.W. Biggs W.J. Tedeschi
31st AIAA/ASME/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference and Exhibit,
July 10-12 1995
A method is presented for generating mechanical spacecraft propulsion
from unsymmetrical magnetic induction fields. It is based on an
unsymmetrical three-dimensional loop antenna structure driven by a
repetitively-pulsed high-current power supply. Antenna geometry is
optimized for generating propulsive thrust rather than radiating
electromagnetic energy. A magnetic field density gradient imbalances
the magneto-mechanical forces that result from the interations of
the internal magnetic induction field with the current in the conductors
of the antenna structure.
From Richard Feynman's Lectures on Physics we learn that there is
intrinsic field energy and momentum density associated with a static
electro-magnetic field configuration. When there is a change in the
magnetic field, this field energy and momentum can be directly
converted into kinetic energy and mechanical momentum. Feynman
illustrates this with an electromagnetic carousel paradox. In this
paradox, a dielectric disk (which is embedded with small charged spheres
along its circumference) rotates without any apparent "counter" torque
in the system. Before this rotation occurs, the dielectric disk is
immersed in a static magnetic field. The subsequent rotation occurs as
a consequence to reducing the previously static magnetic field to zero.
The angular momentum and rotational kinetic energy comes directly from
the initial static magnetic field.

Dr Peter Graneau has conducted experiments which he claims provide
a demonstration of departure from classical electrodynamics at
high currents levels. A force is found to exist in a direction
longitudinal to current flow. Graneau ran a variety of types
of experiments with a metal rod conductor immersed in a conductive
fluid (mercury, or saline solution). With high amperage passing
through the solution the metal rod is found to move in a longitudinal
direction. There is no known explanation in conventional EM theory.
This force may be similar to the force (v X B) that William Hooper
finds in a noninductive coil. Or Graneau's longitudinal force may be
a coupling between the electromagnetic and inertial/gravitational
fields, which is predicted by some 5-D unified EM/gravitational
theories -- predicted to result from a divergence of the electric
current vector field. Graneau's experiments should be relatively
easy to duplicate. I can find no record that anyone has ever done so.
Graneau has also discovered apparently anomalous forces and effects
in high energy electromechanical devices such as rail guns and
induction motors.

I see that Graneau has devoted himself to the electric railgun. I

The railgun and the theories about it are very controversial. There

and the established plasmaphysiscists here in Uppsala. Witalis has

MAGNETORESISTANCE IN METALS, by Pippard, A.B.
Pippard provides the first systematic account of magnetoresistance in
metals, the study of which has provided solid-state physicists with
valuable information about electron motion in metals.
The electrical resistance of a metal is usually changed when a
magnetic field is applied to it, and at low temperatures the change
may be very large indeed. Every metal behaves differently, and the
effect has been widely used to elucidate details of electron motion in
individual metals. Because there has been no systematic account of the
phenomena, apart from review articles addressing special points, this
book fills an obvious gap. Making no great demand on mathematical
ability, it should be a valuable reference work for readers with a
basic knowledge of undergraduate solid-state physics. The text is
copiously illustrated with real experimental results.

Albert C. Crehore published "New Electrodynamics" in 1950. In this
book he described how the motion of protons in the nucleus would
produce gravitational field effects. Gravitational field effects such
as counter-bary are used in the mainstream effort to develop
non-areodynamic non-rocket flight systems that usually referred to as
"anti-gravitational". By making use of the Crehore Paradigm it is
possible to derive a method of producing counter-bary. It's most
likely Crehore had no knowledge of Brown's 1928 British patent for a
gravitator device that would have been a macroscopic analog of a
Crehore atom.

"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!
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."
-- James E. Cox
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
When individual molecules are not permanently magnetized, it is
possible in some cases to have a relative magnetic permeability
u which is less than one. Such a material, like hydrogen or
BISMUTH, is called diamagnetic. It tends to expel magnetic field,
and is repelled from regions of stronger magnetic field. The names
paramagnetic and diamagnetic are sometimes confused: paramagnetic
is analogous to a dielectric in an electric field, while diamagnetic
is quite the opposite.
It is not possible to give a simple argument of why diamagnetism
can occur. it is strictly speaking a quantum effect. However, one
can see that there might be diamagnetic tendencies if electric
currents can flow within molecules. An increasing magnetic field
always tends to induce currents to flow in such a way as to tend
to prevent the increase in the field. This is (at least temporarily)
a diamagnetic kind of effect.
Thus the case where the relative magnetic permeablility u < 1,
is connected with the flow of electric charges in a magnetic field.
There is no analogous case with electric fields since isolated
magnetic poles do no, so far as is known exist.

GE engineer Henry Wallace found unusual gravitational effects in
spinning odd atomic nulceide metals. Odd atomic nucleide metals are
those in which the sum of the protons are not equal to the number
of neutrons, i.e. more neutrons. See US patents 3626605 and 3626606.

within the mass circuit, the latter being constructed preferredly
of BISMUTH."

A while back I had the need to take a peek at a copy of the periodic
table of elements. So I grabbed my old, dusty college chemistry book
that I could never quite bring myself to toss. It's called "Chemical
Principles", published WAY back in 1970. While looking through the
book, I was stunned when I came across a discussion of the possibilities
of new elements.
"What lies ahead for the synthesis of transuranium elements? Will
there be more radioactive and extremely short-lived species such as
97 through 104? It now appears as if there is a chance of reaching a
new zone of stability that might even include some none radioactive
elements. Calculations with nuclear shell models have led to the
expectation that element 114, with 114 protons and 184 neutrons (both
magic numbers in the new shell theory) would be an island of stability
in a sea of instability."
I noted that some information was taken from an article in the April 1969
(pages 57-67) issue of "Scientific American" by Dr. Glenn Seaborg.
In this article, there are excellent graphics showing the expected
half-lives of all the heavyweights. They predict a fission half-life
for the most stable isotope of 114 of 10 to the 16th years, and a
alpha-decay half-life of 1,000 years. They didn't go into the same
level of detail for 115, but it looks like the stuff would clock out
considerably sooner by way of beta decay.
BTW, according to the article, the proper terminology to denote an
undiscovered element in a periodic column is the prefix "eka". Therefore
element 115 should be eka-BISMUTH. Lose this Un-un-pentium crap!
- Tom Mahood
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lazar is not the only one to theorize that the 114/115 area is stable.
Check out the August 31, 1991 issue of New Scientist -- that respected
peer-reviewed periodical. Find Glenn Seaborg's article called "The search
for the missing elements." Seaborg is a renowned scientist who won the
Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1951. He and his research group at the
Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory have discovered 10 of the transuranium
elements. His article is very technical and interesting, and in it he
has two separate graphs that show islands of stability at the 114/115
area. There is a sea of instability around these "islands."

The Exotic Barium Bismuthates
Authors: A. Taraphder, Rahul Pandit, H.R. Krishnamurthy, T.V. Ramakrishnan
We review the remarkable properties, including superconductivity,
charge-density-wave ordering, and metal-insulator transitions, of
lead- and potassium-doped barium bismuthate. We discuss some of the
early theoretical studies of these systems. Our recent theoretical
work, on the negative-$U\/$, extended-Hubbard model for these
systems, is also described. Both the large- and intermediate-$U\/$
regimes of this model are examined, using mean-field and
random-phase approximations, particularly with a view to fitting
various experimental properties of these bismuthates. On the basis
of our studies, we point out possibilities for exotic physics in
these systems. We also emphasize the different consequences of
electronic and phonon-mediated mechanisms for the negative $U.\/$ We
show that, for an electronic mechanism, the \secin \,\,phases of
these bismuthates must be unique, with their transport properties
{\it dominated by charge $\pm 2e$ Cooperon bound states}. This can
explain the observed difference between the optical and transport
gaps. We propose other experimental tests for this novel mechanism
of charge transport and comment on the effects of disorder.

The following is an excerpt from a telephone interview between Stanton
Friedman (F) and Dr. Robert Sarabacher (S). Sarabacher was a prominent,
US government scientist who had a secret briefing with Canadian
scientist Wilbert Smith in 1950 and told Smith that that facts in a
recent popular book about a UFO crash at Aztec, New Mexico were
"essentially true" and that UFO's were classified by the US government
2 points higher than the H bomb. Sarabacher died in July 1986.
Before Sarabacher died, Stanton Friedman did a phone interview with
him. In between Friedmann's attempts to dig more UFO info out of
Sarabacher, there was a lot of small talk, and since Sarabacher was
fairly old, he tended to ramble a bit. However, a most interesting
statement was made by Sarabacher:
F: Were you guys talking about nuclear powered flight at that time?
S: Oh, we were possibly, yes, but I held, had certain ideas see,
one of the problems today, we really don't know what gravity is.
We don't know and I had an idea, I'm willing to work on it in one of
my theses but then my professor didn't believe me, but I had
determined that BISMUTH did not obey the laws of gravity.
So I thought that, "Gee, there's a leak". I might be able to get
nature to tell me something.
So where exactly is Bismuth on the Periodic Table of Elements? Why
directly above where 115 would fall if it exists. And the way the
table works, (generally speaking) elements in the same column
have similar properties. So, just what the hell was Sarabacher referring
to? I don't know, but it's sure intriguing! It appears it was back when
he was a grad student, in maybe the 30s or 40s. Whatever it was, it was
at the very edge of the ability of equipment at the time. Does Bismuth
possess any very subtle anomolous physical properties?

In the Wallace patent, #3626606, Figs. 7A and 7B are side views
of a gravity-NEUTRALIZING FLYING SAUCER, or, if anchored to
the ground, a ZERO-GRAVITY CHAMBER. Each oval diagram shows a
motor spinning a central disc at a very high speed, about 28,000
RPM, and also rotating two other discs sandwiched around the
first disc, via gears, at a much slower speed, perhaps 2,800
RPM, in the opposite direction. The two outer discs have
extensions [counter-balanced via off-center axis] that, as
they rotate, alternately make contact with two wide
extensions from opposite walls of the spacecraft. The
central disc should have shallow spiral-shaped grooves on
both sides for air-bearings, to allow the needed very close
contact with the two outer discs. Each of the two outer discs
has ONLY ONE [counter-balanced] extension, each one pointed
opposite (180 degrees) the extension of the other disc.
The most important factor making it work is that the
discs, extensions, and outer walls of the spacecraft MUST be
made of any material(s) in which a very large majority of the
atoms are of isotopes having "HALF-INTEGRAL ATOMIC SPINS",
such as copper (3/2).

The classical processes: the conversion of photons into gravitons in the
static electromagnetic fields are considered by using Feynman perturbation
techniques. The differential cross sections are presented for the conversion
in the electric field of the flat condenser and the magnetic field of the
solenoid. A numerical evaluation shows that the cross sections may have the
observable value in the present technical scenario.

I have an excerpt from a paper presented under the auspices of
Northrop Corp. in 1968 that gives an idea of why you would want
to bother with high voltage fields. To achieve the effects described
involved relatively small high voltage. The true electrogravitational
effects are significant at higher E field strength. In any case, this
was only the state of the art in 1968. Their involvement in the B-2
began much later, after considerably more research.

ELECTRO-AERODYNAMICS: Electric charges are applied to high-speed
vehicles for the purpose of reducing air drag or eliminating
sonic booms. High-speed ions are projected forward from the
leading edges of the craft, the corona glow propagates
forward and repels air molecules away from the oncoming
surfaces, thus a shock wave cannot be mechanically produced.

Also available from Starburst Publications is the book
"Subquantum Kinetics: The Alchemy of Creation" (ISBN 0-9642025-0-6).
Subquantum kinetics is a new approach to microphysical theory
that utilizes concepts from the fields of nonlinear chemical
kinetics, irreversible thermodynamics, and general system
theory, replacing the current mechanistic foundation of physics
with a reaction-kinetic model. This new approach resolves a
number of problems that plague classical and modern physics also may
provide some insights into the electrogravitic connection that Brown
was researching. In particular, chapter 9 gives some background
information on Townsend Brown's electrogravitics.

One of the most famous researchers in this area is John Searl,
who noticed that spinning metal would accumulate electrons on the rim,
possibly through some kind of centrifugal thrust. The initial test was
a metal disk attached to a breakaway coupling driven by a gasoline
engine. It was carried out in the country and as the disk reached
higher and higher speeds, tremendous electrostatic forces were
generated which were estimated at 10 to the 6th volts! That's when the
disk began to glow blue, broke the coupling, rose to about 30 feet,
continued to accelerate, turned pink and shot off into space. Searl
claims this happened with many of his early tests and as a result he
lost the device each time. Later he learned how to control the device.
The neat thing about it, the Searl disk is self-propelling using a
magnetic drive.

Recently I had read a book from Hans A. Nieper with the title "Konversion
von Schwerkraft-Feld-Energie" (transformation of gravity field energy).
This book tells from transformers of the types Fluxtransformer
(electrodynamic system) and Capacitor Discharge (solid state method).
My problem is that I find nowhere informations about these machines.
So I hope that YOU can give me hints whre I can find informations (books,
files,articles ...) about these machines and theories. I am also grateful
for your opinions about these theory and these machines.

Anyone ever see Stan Deyo's book Cosmic Conspiracy? He talked about an
ElectroGravitics society I think it was.
These things must have some sort of high voltage resonating circuitry, in
a round shape obviously. They can recharge over high power lines. They
can apparently become invisible. They also must be able to change their
mass so they can accelerate at very high rates.
For anyone interested, he wrote a second book called "The Vindicator
Scrolls" which contains more information.

We consider a point charge fixed in the Rindler coordinates which

Title: ``Faster than Light'' Photons in Gravitational Fields --
Causality, Anomalies and Horizons
Authors: G.M. Shore
Report-no: SWAT-95/70
A number of general issues relating to superluminal photon
propagation in gravitational fields are explored. The possibility of
superluminal, yet causal, photon propagation arises because of
Equivalence Principle violating interactions induced by vacuum
polarisation in QED in curved spacetime. Two general theorems are
presented: first, a polarisation sum rule which relates the
polarisation averaged velocity shift to the matter energy-momentum
tensor and second, a `horizon theorem' which ensures that the
geometric event horizon for black hole spacetimes remains a true
horizon for real photon propagation in QED. A comparision is made
with the equivalent results for electromagnetic birefringence and
possible connections between superluminal photon propagation,
causality and the conformal anomaly are exposed.

This paper describes recent progress in the analysis of relativistic
gauge conditions for Euclidean Maxwell theory in the presence of
boundaries. The corresponding quantum amplitudes are studied by
using Faddeev-Popov formalism and zeta-function regularization,
after expanding the electromagnetic potential in harmonics on the
boundary 3-geometry. This leads to a semiclassical analysis of
quantum amplitudes, involving transverse modes, ghost modes, coupled
normal and longitudinal modes, and the decoupled normal mode of
Maxwell theory.

"Propulsion Techniques: Action and Reaction",
Peter J. Turchi, editor, Ohio State University
This is the first of three volumes devoted to space propulsion part of
a new series of titles with articles taken from the pages of Aerospace
America. The three volume collection of over 150 articles rescues the
insights, concerns and dreams of dozens of space propulsion experts for
the next generation of aerospace scientists and engineers. Written by
well-known figures in space propulsion, including Werner von Braun,
Martin Summerfield, Ernst Stuhlinger and Jerry Grey, these books provide
readily accessible source material for design courses in astronautical
engineering. This first volume surveys the technologies of rocketry in
the traditional categories of liquid, solid, hybrid, nuclear and electric
propulsion. Historical trends and cycles are displayed in each category
as articles describe concepts and progress from the early visions of
Goddard, Oberth and Tsiolkovsky to proposed (and re-proposed) ideas for
advanced space thrusters. In addition to descriptions of rocket engines
of various types, including photon and laser propulsion, associated
technologies for propellants and space-electrical power systems are
discussed.

I have a book from Russia that may interest you. Its in Russian and its
called "Experimental Gravity", and is jointly authored by a father and
son, S.M. Poliakov and O.M. Poliakov. It describes "gyro-gravity" and
"ferromagnetic-gravity" and also how to produce gravity. It's 130 pages
and contains a lot of pictures and diagrams and equations (that's about
all I understand from it). To judge from the pictures the Russians must
have conducted a lot of research in this topic (Many different devices
are on the pictures). The question is now: How do I get a translator?

INTRODUCTION TO EXPERIMENTAL GRAVITONICS
Abstract of book by S.M.Poliakov and O.S.Poliakov
The experiments part covers the following subjects:
1. Light-beam curvature and optical-radiation frequency shift is
created and investigated in an artificial nonhomogeneous gravitational
field.
A new gravitational effect, named "quadrature" frequency shift in the
curved light beam is predicted and calculated.
2. Magnetostriction is at last explained as a secondary gravitational
effect. An equation derived for magnetostriction permits to calculate
the magnetostriction curve.
3. The propagation velocity of gravitational radiation (generated by a
laboratory source) was measured for "quadrupole" - 9x10E20 cm/s or
squared light velocity.
4. It was demonstrated that gravitation is only one of NONLINEAR-MECHANICS
EFFECT, that can be created in mechanical system or in ferromagnetic.
The book was published at the author's expense in 1991. Most powerful
experimental result described in this book is more than 1200 gramms of
pulsed G-force. Several mechanical systems and systems using ferrites
are detailed here.
Second edition in English is ready for copy process (disket's text).

The Jackson text is entirely wrong if it does discuss magnetic fields
without a potential - the electromagnetic 4-potential A always applies to
the conservation of 4-momentum (energy and momentum) by electromagnetic
interactions.
See GRAVITATION by Misner, Thorne, and Wheeler.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The causative agent of gravitational gradients (Potential) was first
enumerated G. L. Le Sage in 1784. H. A. Lorentz and G. H.
Darwin evaluated Le Sage's postulate mathematically and rejected
it when, as a result of their evaluation, it was found that although
the postulated process could describe all observed gravitational
phenomena (and inherently results is GR), the mechanism
REQUIRED a continuous overall LOSS of energy (apparently
disappearing into matter, in a clear violation of the conservation of
energy). I could go on to suggest that mining this concept and
process could lead one to significant "pay dirt" in terms of
understanding how GR relates to QM.
The kinetic model of Le Sage does lead to a valid model for physical
processes. The key is Super-Fluid theory. Both GR and QM are fully
described as well as why each dominates at the scales they do.
Hemholtz proved that a superfluid vortex ring is infinitely stable
and without a boundary dis-continuty can not be created or destroyed.
Kelvin mathematically proved that the equations that describe small
linear disturbances in a a superfluid vortex sponge are IDENTICAL
to the equations that describe the propogation of light through space.
A EXCELLENT book on this topic is "A History of the Theories of Aether
and Electricity" by Sir Edmund Whitaker, Dover Reprint 1989 and I
can not give any reference a higher recommendation. Why is this
information not known, that sir is a very long and interesting story.
- Paul Stowe
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For a much more current model, than LeSage, of a sink-source interpretation
of gravity, see O.C. Hilgenberg's "Gravitation, Tromben, und Wellen in
bewegten Medien" (1931), GieSmann & Bartsch. It's in German. It's in the
National Union Catalogue. If you don't read German, then Carl Frederick
Krafft's "Ether and Matter" (1945), Dietz Printing Co., contains some
portions translated from Hilgenberg's work. Hilgenberg developed a quantum
numbering system of the atoms based upon Krafft's ether-vortex atom model,
entitled "Quantenzahlen, Wirbelring-Atommodelle und Heliumsechserring-
Aufbauprinzip des Periodensystems der chemischen Elemente" Which means
roughly: A Quantum Number, Vortex Atom model and Hexagonal-ring construction
principle of the periodic system of the chemical elements. Krafft saw the
quantization of energy as a logical consequence of a system of particles
consisting of, basically, pumps, which could take in and give out energy
and ether/space at limited rates, based on rotations of the various rings.
In his model, as opposed to LeSage's, the flux terminates in what he called
equipotential zones, much as one would see if two jets of water were to
collide coaxially. So, the intake of two bodies "squirting" out ether, will
be on the back sides of both bodies, and hence, they are pushed together.
LeSage saw each body acting as sheilds to the ultramundane particles racing
in all directions in space (cosmic rays forseen in the 18th century!) Thus
the two bodies move into each others 'shadow'.
Louis Kevran's work on low energy transmutations of the elements was
predicted by Krafft's model. And there was a man named Nemos who claimed
to have developed a television type microscope not limited by the optical
paths of standard microscopes, and I have a photo he took which shows, it
is claimed, the nucleous of an iron atom, as a collection of vortices
arranged peripherally (non-coaxially). It's like looking down on pearl-like
smoke rings connected by vibrating jets. It's an amazing photo(?)
Krafft's prediction was that the proton and electron would be double
vortex structures, and the neutron a triple vortex structure. The picture
seems to confirm that. So much for my two bits. The work of Krafft is not
heavily laden with math. The beauty of it to me is it can be visualized.
(Note: Nemo's "microscope" may be based on the technology very recently
developed which is known as magnetic microscopy.)
I have a neat little book written by Carl Krafft, back in the 30s. He was
an avid developer of an ether-vortex theory of atomic and gravitational
forces. His theory was underpinned by the writings of O.C. Hilgenberg
and Hermanne Fricke of Germany, pre-Nazi. Hilgenberg's views included a
vertical ether sink as the cause of gravity, and the consequent development
of mass in the enterior of the earth. Hence the earth expanded over time,
with periodic explosive expansions and contractions. Meanwhile, Krafft
developed the idea of combining vortices in face to face rolling contact,
which provides four basic forms: single vortice=neutrino; double vortice,
with rolling contact drawing ether into the periphery-proton; with rolling
contact into the poles-electron; then the neutron which is three vortices
combining forming a neutral, polarizeable particle drawing ether into one
end, out the sides, in the sides out the other end. Krafft's books were
all self published.

Is there anyone out there who is familiar with modern Kaluza-Klein theory?
Or even with the kind Kaluza got Einstein to buy into in 1921 or whenever
it was...? This is supposed to unify gravity and electromagnetics in a
five-dimensional model. Would it not predict the kind of effects Brown
was experimenting with, if true?
-John Sangster
Kaluza and Klein had the idea of extending GR to 5 dimensions. When
they did Maxwell's eqns. just sort of pop out. Unfortunately the
weak and strong nuclear forces don't. So people try expanding GR into
10, 11 or even 26. It's interesting to do the reverse. Expand
Maxwell's eqns. into 5 dimensions. I did it and soon I'll (hopefully)
give some details. But essentially you get two out of three of
Newton's gravitational equations. You get something similar to
the third eqn. but I haven't convinced myself that mine is a
generalization of Newton's.
-Ray Cote, KSC
Kaluza-Klein theories are an attempt to give a general relativistic
explaination for all the forces of nature not just gravity. The
original Kaluza-Klein idea was hatched in 1920 by Kaluza and in
1926 by Klein. The basic idea is that there are 4 space dimensions
and 1 time dimension (a 5 dimensional maifold) rather than the
3 space dimensions and 1 time dimesnions that there appear to be.
Then generalizing Einsteins field equations to this 5 dimensional
space (and making the assumption that one of the dimensions gets
"curled" up or "compactified") you find that you get Einsteins
4D field equations plus Maxwell's equations. The way that this
happens is one of the most beautiful aspects of this theory,
and it really makes you (or at least it makes me) think that
there should be at least some aspect of this theory that has
some correspondence in reality.
Kaluza-Klein theories were revived in the mid seventies by
A. Chodos (I think) who showed how you can incorparte all
the interactions that we know about now (the strong and
the weak forces which weren't unified with gravity in Kaluza's
original theory, which only unified EM and gravity) by
taking spacetime to be 11 dimensional (10 space dimensions and
1 time).
I can't really think of a good laymans intro to Kaluza-Klein,
but there is a Physics Report in 1985 and 1986 that gives a
review of Kaluza-Klein theories by Bailin and Love (?). And
there is a Frontiers of Physics book edited by T. Appelquist
which reprints most of the important articles on the subject.

"The Possibly Unifying Effect of the Dynamic Theory", May 1983,
by P.E. Williams
This is part of a series of works by Williams. The novel aspect
of the work it that Williams starts from thermodynamics instead
of the usual general relativistic and Newtonian approach.
Williams develops the 5-D field equations and the neo-coulombic
potential. The equations allow for inductive coupling between
the electric and gravitational fields.

We investigate how the choice of the magnetization distribution inside the
sample affects its interaction with the external electromagnetic field. The
strong selectivity to the time dependence of the external electromagnetic
field arises for the particular magnetizations. This can be used for the
storage and ciphering of information. We propose a time-dependent
Aharonov-Bohm-like experiment in which the phase of the wave function is
changed by the time-dependent vector magnetic potential. The arising
time-dependent interference picture may be viewed as a new channel for the
information transfer.

The operation characteristics of electric propulsion devices which utilize
Hall effect have been generalized. The electrostatic acceleration is enhanced
by thermoelectric effect; an ion kinetic energy can be higher than that
associated with the electrostatic potential. Depending on the extent of this
effect, there exist two acceleration modes, an electrostatic and an
electrostatic/electrothermal hybrid one, the latter characterized by low
voltage.

"The Warp drive: hyper-fast travel within general relativity"
by: Miguel Alcubierre
Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Wales,
College of Cardiff, PO Box 913, Cardiff CFI 3YB, UK
Article taken from the May 1994 issue of "Classical and
Quantum Gravity", a scientific magazine wich you are not
likely to find at your local newsagent.
ABSTRACT. It is shown how, within the framework of general relativity and
without the introduction of wormholes, it is possible to modify a spacetime
in a way that allows a spaceship to travel with an arbitarily large speed.
By a purely local expansion of spacetime behind the spaceship and an
opposite contraction in front of it, motion faster than the speed of light
as seen by observers outside the disturbed region is possible. The
resulting distortion is reminicent of the 'warp drive' of science fiction.
However, just as happens with wormholes, exotic matter will be needed in
order to generate a distortion of spacetime like the one discussed here.

QUANTUM FLUCTUATIONS AND SEMICLASSICAL GRAVITY THEORY PH.D. THESIS
Tufts Univ., Medford, MA. KUO, CHUNG-I. 1994, 119 PAGES
Avail: Univ. Microfilms Order No. DA9419336
Semiclassical gravity theory should serve as a working model before the final
theory of quantized gravity is known, or as an approximation for manageable
calculations even when the final theory is known. We deal with the important
issue of the applicability of the semiclassical theory of gravity,
specifically considering the effects of quantum fluctuations of the matter
fields and the induced metric perturbations. The quantum fields with negative
energy densities are proposed to be the cases where the semiclassical theory
is no longer valid. We start with a discussion of the basic notions and
developments of semiclassical gravity theory, and continue with a discussion
of the establishment of a meaningful measurement of the deviation from
semiclassical theory. The measure is a normalized dispersion of the energy
density. The non-positive-definiteness of the energy density of quantum
fields is derived and discussed. Important cases, like squeezed states and
the Casimir effect, which exhibit negative energy densities, are discussed
and the deviations from semiclassical theory are checked. A test particle
method using a generalized Langevin equation is formulated for the physical
description of systems for which the semiclassical theory can not be used.
Quantum fields around straight infinite cosmic string is another example of
where the negative energy densities may arise. We examine the validity of
semiclassical theory for this case. The Casimir force due to the zero-point
fluctuations of the electromagnetic fields in the presence of a conducting
plate is another case where the quantum fluctuations are large and naive
classical consideration should be modified. Using the test particle method,
we are able to show that it is a relaxation phenomenon and that a notion of
effective temperature can be associated with it.

The classical processes: the conversion of photons into gravitons in the
static electromagnetic fields are considered by using Feynman perturbation
techniques. The differential cross sections are presented for the conversion
in the electric field of the flat condenser and the magnetic field of the
solenoid. A numerical evaluation shows that the cross sections may have the
observable value in the present technical scenario.

THE PHYSICS OF TACHYONS. 3: TACHYON ELECTROMAGNETISM
DAWE, ROSS L. HINES, KENNETH C. University of Melbourne, Parkville,
Australia 1994 34 PAGES Australian Journal of Physics (ISSN 0004-9506)
vol 47, no 4 1994 p 431-464 Research supported by the ARC and the
University of Melbourne HTN-95-01061
A new formulation of the theory of tachyons using the same two postulates
as in special relativity is applied to electro-magnetism. Tachyonic
transformations of the electromagnetic fields E and B are rigorously
derived from Maxwell's equations and are shown to be the same as for
bradyonic transformations. Tachyonic tranformations of current density,
charge density, scalar and vector potentials are also derived and discussed.
Tachyonic optics and the four-potential of a moving tachyonic charge are
also discussed, along with generalized four-vector transformations and
electromagnetic four-tensors in extended relativity. Use is made of a
switching principle to show how tachyons automatically obey the law of
conservation of electric charge in any inertial reference frame, even
though the observed tachyon electric charge is not an invariant between
observers. The electromagnetic field produced by a charged tachyon takes
the form of a Mach cone, inside which the electromagnetic field is real
and detectable, while outside the cone the field generated by the tachyon
is imaginary and undetectable.

Book on the alleged Navy experiment to make a ship invisible; to
radar or optically or both. Supposedly the ship not only became
invisible but dematerialized and rematerialized at a distant
location, then re-materialized at the original location
(Philadelphia Navy Yard). Plus there were severe side effects to
the crew members. Some of the crew were said to have disappeared
into another dimension. Some never to return.
Chapter 9 (The Unexpected Key) is very interesting because it
describes an interview with a scientist who was involved with the
Philadelphia experiment when it was being planned.

The best introduction to dyads and dyadic analysis in electromagnetism
in my opinion is the following book:
Hollis C Chen, Theory of Electromagnetic Waves: A Coordinate-Free
Approach (1983, McGraw-Hill; 1992, TechBooks).
_______________________________________________________________________
It's already a proven fact that angular momentum will generate an
opposing force to gravity in the way you describe. This is a purely
General Relativistic effect. There's an article in the 1988 Foundations
of Physics "An Exact Solution to Einstein's Field Equations:
Gravitational Force Can Also Be Repulsive!"
It requires an immensely huge angular momentum to get any decent
repulsion, such that you're not going to get it by any mechanical means

For those of you who are not familiar with the obscure aspects of General
Relativity, hopefully this will steer you in the right direction for
further research and knowledge. Non-Newtonian gravitational fields,
which may be either attractive or repulsive, can be generated from three
effects. These are that of rotating masses, moving masses, or
fluctuating masses relative to a stationary, non-rotating body. These
effects are similar to centrifugal, Coriolis, and other inertial forces
and were first described by W. de Sitter in 1916 and Hans Thirring in
1918. Dr. Robert L. Forward published his Guidelines to Antigravity in
March 1963 in the American Journal of Physics. Dr. Forward is an expert
in General Relativity and Gravity Research and studied under Weber at the
University of Maryland. In his guidelines article, he discusses the
dipole effect of gravity as predicted by General Relativity.
Unfortunately, the forces generated are extremely weak without very dense
mass or extremely high angular velocities. I suggest that everyone with
an interest in such aspects obtain a copy of this article and read it
through before passing any judgements as to these forces existing or
being generated!

Might a mass (gravitational charge) in motion also produce another
type of field much like a magnetic one?
Something like this is "gravitomagnetic effect" is theoretically
predicted. If you were in such a field, it would simply give the
impression that you were in a locally rotating frame of reference,
so moving objects would experience coriolis forces, even when you
were not rotating relative to distant reference points. As the effect
is of the order of v1 v2/c^2 where v1 is the speed of the gravitational
source and v2 is the speed of the test object, it is extremely small
and has not yet been measured.
Note also that a rotating massive object is expected to give rise to
a similar field in the same way as a current loop gives rise to a
magnetic field. This is known as the Lense-Thirring effect.
A first-order Special Relativity approximation (which only applies for a
locally inertial frame of reference where space isn't significantly
curved) is simply that the rotation field is (v1 x g)/c^2 where g is the
Newtonian acceleration vector v1 is the velocity of the source object.
The acceleration that field generates for a body moving with velocity v2
is v2 x (v1 x g)/c^2. Note for comparison that the magnetic field is
B = (v1 x E)/c^2 so the magnetic force is q v2 x (v1 x E)/c^2.
The gravitational rotation field calculated in this way is equal to 2w
where w is the apparent angular velocity of rotation.
It is hoped that "conscience-guided" satellite experiments may confirm
this effect within a few years, but at present there are too many other
disturbances which make it too difficult to measure such a small effect.
The rotation field, whether caused by a linearly moving mass or a
rotating object, only affects moving masses. However, there is of
course a much stronger associated acceleration field which affects
all masses. From the subjective point of view, the acceleration field
may appear to be partly linear acceleration and partly "centrifugal"
force associated with rotary motion, but this is a higher-order effect.

Some scientists in Boulder, CO (USA) have suceeded in cooling down matter
into the elusive Bose-Einstein condensate. The kinetic energy of the
atoms in this state have been removed. If you could maintain this state
in stable form and spin it, the angular momentum would repel the earth
and lift many times its own mass. Outside of the atmosphere, this could
produce the desired gravitational dipole effect.

Subject: Weight Reduction in Spinning Masses
Date: Fri, 3 Nov 1995 06:04:35 GMT
Recently Hideo Hayasaka and Sakae Takeuchi of the Engineering Faculty at
Tohoku University in Japan have published an experimental result of this
sort. They found that gyroscopes spinning clockwise as seen from above, at
their location, exhibited a decrease in relative mass of 5.07 x 10^-5
and 4.22 x 10^-5 respectively for the two gyroscope configurations studied.
(Weight was multiplied by 1-e where e is the relative factors given above,
if I haven't botched up in my arithmetic.) The effect as plotted in the
paper I saw appears to be perfectly linear to within reasonable experimental
error, thus giving a rotational velocity at which the weight would go to
zero which I made out to be 3.27 MHz (million rotations per second) in the
first case and 3.95 MHz in the second.
That was with CLOCKWISE rotation as seen from above. With COUNTERclockwise
rotation, the same experimental setup showed ZERO EFFECT. Zip. Nada.
Nichts. Nyechevo. You get the idea. For one thing, this result makes it
almost certain that they are NOT dealing with bad lab technique. Not to
mention the fact that they spent nearly a year and a half going over and
over their setup and trying to answer all objections by the reviewers of
their Physical Review Letters paper (it eventually appeared in PRL
(63 2701)). As far as I know, nobody has published a theoretical model
that accounts for these observations. The idea of a physical phenomenon
that appears only in one direction of rotation is rather unprecedented.
I know of only one other mathematical/physical phenomenon that does this,
and I'm trying to understand how the two might be related, but without
success as yet.

Physicist Alex Harvey wrote an article about the
Hayakawa-Taguechi experiment. The article was published in:
Nature, Aug 23 1990, Vol 346 Page 705
You'll also find other references there. Harvey shows
mathematically that an angular momentum vector aligned
antiparallel to the local gravitational field violates the
equivalence principle. He also shows that the path of a
spinning body under gravity need not be geodesic. Here are
two "holes" in GR that seem to account for the behavior of
H & T's gyros. New experiments should be designed to force
the asymmetry to appear, as predicted by theory, rather than
passively leave the results to chance.
There is a dimensional error of Hayasaka and Takeuchi
which CAN be corrected by supplying a quantity that restores
proper dimensionality. In simplest terms, H and T's result
looks like: { deltaN = - (proportionality constant) m w r }
where deltaN is the weight change in Newtons, m is the mass
of the rotor in kg, w is the rotation frequency in angular
units and r is the radius of the rotor in meters. The units
of the missing quantity are radians per second. The rotation,
w, has already been counted. The missing quantity is the
precession, Wp. With clockwise rotation, the vector J
points down the spin axis, while the precession vector,
Wp, points up the spin axis.
Physicist Alex Harvey, writing about H and T's results,
confirmed that there is no (symmetrical) weight gain, no
effect at all, with counter-clockwise rotation, J (up).
In this case, says Harvey, "[J] is parallel to the
gravitational field."

You're catching on. The subject of compound angular momentum, or
internal and external angular momentum, or intrinsic and extrinsic
angular momentum has been a repressed subject for about 2 and half
decades. Add to that list, spherical pendulums, Coriolis effect,
except as applied to balistics and meteorology as used by the US military,
and Shafer's pendulum, that neat little device used as the artifical
horizon of aircraft.

There isn't any that I know of, though back in the late fifties, there
was a fellow named Edward Condon at the University of Colorado who was
fairly proficient on the subject. So much so that he wrote the rotational
dynamics section, called noninertial dynamics at the time, of the
reference "The Handbook of Physics" which he also co-edited (Chapter 5).
I don't recall offhand who the publisher was (Harcourt/Brace?), though
it was endorsed by the American Institute of Physics.
Later, when Mr Condon was the head of the USAF project 'Blue Book', he
labored to supress his own work when the directive was handed down from
the Navy's Turtle Island project.

In the Barnett effect a long iron cylinder, when rotated at high
speed about its longitudinal axis, is found to develop a measurable
component of magnetization, the value of which is proportional to
the angular speed. The effect is attributed to the influence of the
impressed rotation upon the revolving electronics systems due to
the mass property of the unpaired electrons within the atoms.

The Barnett Effect is known to me as the effect of a change in
volume of a magnetic material in response to a change in it's
magnetization strength. If a ferrite material is exposed to a
higher magnetization field (more current through the coil) the
ferritd will change in volume. I was not aware that this has anything
to do with alignment to a spinning axis. For further information about
this aspect of the Barnett effect, see: Ref. Handbook of Magnetic

Critical Dynamics of Magnets
Authors: Erwin Frey , Franz Schwabl (TU Muenchen)
Comments: Review article (154 pages, figures included)
We review our current understanding of the critical dynamics of
magnets above and below the transition temperature with focus on the
effects due to the dipole--dipole interaction present in all real
magnets. Significant progress in our understanding of real
ferromagnets in the vicinity of the critical point has been made in
the last decade through improved experimental techniques and
theoretical advances in taking into account realistic spin-spin
interactions. We start our review with a discussion of the
theoretical results for the critical dynamics based on recent
renormalization group, mode coupling and spin wave theories. A
detailed comparison is made of the theory with experimental results
obtained by different measuring techniques, such as neutron
scattering, hyperfine interaction, muon--spin--resonance,
electron--spin--resonance, and magnetic relaxation, in various
materials. Furthermore we discuss the effects of dipolar interaction
on the critical dynamics of three--dimensional isotropic
antiferromagnets and uniaxial ferromagnets. Special attention is
also paid to a discussion of the consequences of dipolar
anisotropies on the existence of magnetic order and the spin--wave
spectrum in two--dimensional ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. We
close our review with a formulation of critical dynamics in terms of
nonlinear Langevin equations.

Title: Proximity-induced time-reversal symmetry breaking at Josephson
junctions between unconventional superconductors
Author: Kazuhiro Kuboki and Manfred Sigrist
We argue that a locally time-reversal symmetry breaking state can
occur at Josephson junctions between unconventional superconductors.
Order parameters induced by the proximity effect can combine with
the bulk order parameter to form such a state. This property is
specifically due to the intrinsic phase structure of the pairing
wave function in unconventional superconductors. Experimental
consequences of this effect in high-temperature superconductors are
examined.

Authors: A. M. Tikofsky and D. B. Bailey
We consider a layered superconductor with a complex order parameter

shown to exhibit gapless superconductivity for sufficiently large
interlayer pairing or interlayer hopping. In addition, this
description is consistent with experiments finding signals of
time-reversal symmetry breaking in high-temperature superconductors
only at the surface and not in the sample bulk.

Authors: B. L. Altshuler, L. B. Ioffe, A. I. Larkin, A. J. Millis.
Strongly correlated two dimensional electrons are believed to form a
spin liquid in some regimes of density and temperature. As the
density is varied, one expects a transition from this spin liquid
state to a spin density wave antiferromagnetic state. In this paper
we show that it is self-consistent to assume that this transition is
second order and, on this assumption, determine the critical
behavior of the 2p_F susceptibility, the NMR rates T1 and T2
and the uniform susceptibility. We compare our results to data on
high Tc materials.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 4 February 1994 issue of Science magazine has an article
about a new theory of inertia. A recent paper by Bernhard Haisch,
Alfonso Rueda and Hal Puthoff in the 1 Feb 1994 issue of Physical
Review A, based on earlier work by Andrei Sakharov, derives inertia
from quantum electromagnetic vacuum fluctuations. The idea is that if
inertia is due to some strange quantum EM effects, it might be
understood and controlled, and even neutralized.
Haisch is at the Lockheed Palo Alto laboratories, Rueda, at
Cal. State. Long Beach, and Puthoff at the Institute for Advanced
Studies in Austin Texas. Needless to say, this new theory is serious,
but very controversial physics. A test is planned later this year at
the SLAC linear accelerator by exposing a high energy electron beam to
terawatt laser. Keep tuned!
-- John H. Chalmers Jr
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A recent controversial theory of Austin Institute for Advanced Study
physicist Hal Puthoff and his collaborators Haisch and Rueda appears
to explain gravity as not an intrinsic property of matter but as an
indirect consequence of Maxwellian electromagnetic radiation, namely
that (as earlier suggested by the late Russian dissenter Sakharov)
gravity is a "shadow effect" similar to the Casimir Effect of quantum
electrodynamics. Bass points out that if the Haisch-Puthoff-Rueda
theory is correct then Hodowanec's idea of tapping the earth's gravity
field in some electromagnetic way not hitherto suggested is conceivable.
- Joel McClain
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Puthoff and his collaborators have gone so far as to use SED (Stochastic
Electro-Dynamics) to _explain_ both gravitational & inertial mass and
to show their equivalence, and to derive Newton's F = Ma, and to derive
Mach's principle (without which Einstein admitted that no theory of
gravity could claim to be complete), and to derive Dirac's "cosmological
numerical coincidences" as inevitabilities, and to derive Newtonian
gravity, and to derive the Newton-Cavendish parameter G!!!
-- Robert Bass
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is an amazing coincidence that the total Newtonian gravitational
potential energy of any object due to all masses in the universe is
equal in magnitude to its total energy, at least to within a small
factor, considering that this involves an expression involving multiple
factors of the order of 10 to the 40th power.
This was pointed out by Dirac in his Large Numbers Hypothesis, and used
as part of a beautiful illustrative theory by Dennis Sciama [1], in
which he constructs a theory of gravity closely analogous to the
classical theory of electromagnetism, and shows that inertia can be
directly attributed to the gravitational effect of accelerating relative
to the gravitational potential sources of the whole universe (or indeed
of accelerating the whole universe relative to the object, because in
Sciama's theory, the two points of view are equivalent). This theory
is obviously consistent with Mach's Principle (which is effectively that
inertial motion is in some sense relative to the rest of universe).
Sciama's theory is only a simplified approximation, but it is so neat
that it seems likely that some similar principle must apply also within
General Relativity. However, one of its most basic implications is
that the gravitational "constant" G would depend on the distribution
of matter in the universe, which seems to be in direct conflict with
GR. I personally think GR is probably not quite right.

MAXWELL-CHERN-SIMONS CASIMIR EFFECT, KIMBALL A. MILTON,
DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY, UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA
In odd-dimensional spaces, gauge invariance permits a
Chern-Simons mass term for the gauge fields in addition to the usual
Maxwell-Yang-Mills kinetic energy term. We study the Casimir effect
in such a (2+1)-dimensional Abelian theory. For the case of parallel
conducting lines the result is the same as for a scalar field. For
the case of circular boundary conditions the results are completely
different, with even the sign of the effect being opposite for
Maxwell-Chern-Simons fields and scalar fields. We further examine
the effect of finite temperature. The Casimir stress is found to be
attractive at both low and high temperature. Possibilities of
observing this effect in the laboratory are discussed.

MOTION OF INERTIAL OBSERVERS THROUGH NEGATIVE ENERGY, BY L.H. FORD AND
THOMAS A. ROMAN,
Recent research has indicated that negative energy fluxes due to
quantum coherence effects obey uncertainty principle-type
inequalities of the form $|\Delta E|\,{\Delta \tau} \lprox 1\,$.
Here $|\Delta E|$ is the magnitude of the negative energy which is
transmitted on a timescale $\Delta \tau$. Our main focus in this
paper is on negative energy fluxes which are produced by the motion
of observers through static negative energy regions. We find that
although a quantum inequality appears to be satisfied for radially
moving geodesic observers in two and four-dimensional black hole
spacetimes, an observer orbiting close to a black hole will see a
constant negative energy flux. In addition, we show that inertial
observers moving slowly through the Casimir vacuum can achieve
arbitrarily large violations of the inequality. It seems likely
that, in general, these types of negative energy fluxes are not
constrained by inequalities on the magnitude and duration of the
flux. We construct a model of a non-gravitational stress-energy
detector, which is rapidly switched on and off, and discuss the
strengths and weaknesses of such a detector.

SEMICLASSICAL GRAVITY THEORY AND QUANTUM FLUCTUATIONS, BY CHUNG-I KUO AND
L. H. FORD.
We discuss the limits of validity of the semiclassical theory of
gravity in which a classical metric is coupled to the expectation
value of the stress tensor. It is argued that this theory is a good
approximation only when the fluctuations in the stress tensor are
small. We calculate a dimensionless measure of these fluctuations
for a scalar field on a flat background in particular cases,
including squeezed states and the Casimir vacuum state. It is found
that the fluctuations are small for states which are close to a
coherent state, which describes classical behavior, but tend to be
large otherwise. We find in all cases studied that the energy
density fluctuations are large whenever the local energy density is
negative. This is taken to mean that the gravitational field of a
system with negative energy density, such as the Casimir vacuum, is
not described by a fixed classical metric but is undergoing large
metric fluctuations. We propose an operational scheme by which one
can describe a fluctuating gravitational field in terms of the
statistical behavior of test particles. For this purpose we obtain
an equation of the form of the Langevin equation used to describe
Brownian motion.

CASIMIR EFFECT OF STRONGLY INTERACTING SCALAR FIELDS, BY K. LANGFELD,
F. SCHMUSER, AND H. REINHARDT
Non-trivial $\phi ^{4}$-theory is studied in a renormalisation group
invariant approach inside a box consisting of rectangular plates and
where the scalar modes satisfy periodic boundary conditions at the
plates. It is found that the Casimir energy exponentially approaches
the infinite volume limit, the decay rate given by the scalar
condensate. It therefore essentially differs from the power law of a
free theory. This might provide experimental access to properties of
the non-trivial vacuum. At small interplate distances the system can
no longer tolerate a scalar condensate, and a first order phase
transition to the perturbative phase occurs. The dependence of the
vacuum energy density and the scalar condensate on the box
dimensions are presented.

DECOHERENCE AND VACUUM FLUCTUATIONS, L.H. FORD, TUFTS UNIVERSITY
The interference pattern of coherent electrons is effected by
coupling to the quantized electromagnetic field. The amplitudes of
the interference maxima are changed by a factor which depends upon a
double line integral of the photon two-point function around the
closed path of the electrons. The interference pattern is sensitive
to shifts in the vacuum fluctuations in regions from which the
electrons are excluded. Thus this effect combines aspects of both
the Casimir and the Aharonov-Bohm effects. The coupling to the
quantized electromagnetic field tends to decrease the amplitude of
the interference oscillations, and hence is a form of decoherence.
The contributions due to photon emission and to vacuum fluctuations
may be separately identified. It is to be expected that photon
emission leads to decoherence, as it can reveal which path an
electron takes. It is less obvious that vacuum fluctuations also can
cause decoherence. What is directly observable is a shift in the
fluctuations due, for example, to the presence of a conducting
plate. In the case of electrons moving parallel to conducting
boundaries, the dominant decohering influence is that of the vacuum
fluctuations. The shift in the interference amplitudes can be of the
order of a few percent, so experimental verification of this effect
may be possible. The possibility of using this effect to probe the
interior of matter, e.g., to determine the electrical conductivity
of a rod by means of electrons encircling it is discussed.

AVERAGED ENERGY CONDITIONS AND QUANTUM INEQUALITIES, L.H. FORD AND
THOMAS A. ROMAN
Connections are uncovered between the averaged weak (AWEC) and
averaged null (ANEC) energy conditions, and quantum inequality
restrictions on negative energy for free massless scalar fields. In
a two-dimensional compactified Minkowski universe, we derive a
covariant quantum inequality-type bound on the difference of the
expectation values of the energy density in an arbitrary quantum
state and in the Casimir vacuum state. From this bound, it is shown
that the difference of expectation values also obeys AWEC and
ANEC-type integral conditions. In contrast, it is well-known that
the stress tensor in the Casimir vacuum state alone satisfies
neither quantum inequalities nor averaged energy conditions. Such
difference inequalities represent limits on the degree of energy
condition violation that is allowed over and above any violation due
to negative energy densities in a background vacuum state. In our
simple two-dimensional model, they provide physically interesting
examples of new constraints on negative energy which hold even when
the usual AWEC, ANEC, and quantum inequality restrictions fail. In
the limit when the size of the space is allowed to go to infinity,
we derive quantum inequalities for timelike and null geodesics
which, in appropriate limits, reduce to AWEC and ANEC in ordinary
two-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. We also derive a quantum
inequality bound on the energy density seen by an inertial observer
in four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. The bound implies that any
inertial observer in flat spacetime cannot see an arbitrarily large
negative energy density which lasts for an arbitrarily long period
of time.

The averaged null energy condition and difference inequalities in quantum
field theory, by: Ulvi Yurtsever
Recently, Larry Ford and Tom Roman have discovered that in
a flat cylindrical space, although the stress-energy tensor itself
fails to satisfy the averaged null energy condition (ANEC) along the
(non-achronal) null geodesics, when the ``Casimir-vacuum"
contribution is subtracted from the stress-energy the resulting
tensor does satisfy the ANEC inequality. Ford and Roman name this
class of constraints on the quantum stress-energy tensor
``difference inequalities." Here I give a proof of the difference
inequality for a minimally coupled massless scalar field in an
arbitrary two-dimensional spacetime, using the same techniques as
those we relied on to prove ANEC in an earlier paper with Robert
Wald. I begin with an overview of averaged energy conditions in
quantum field theory.

As revealed by space-time probing, mechanics and field theory come
out as complementary descriptions for motions in space-time. In
particular, quantum fields exert a radiation pressure on scatterers
which results in mechanical effects that persist in vacuum. They
include mean forces due to quantum field fluctuations, like Casimir
forces, but also fluctuations of these forces and additional forces
linked to motion. As in classical electron theory, a moving
scatterer is submitted to a radiation reaction force which modifies
its motional response to an applied force. We briefly survey the
mechanical effects of quantum field fluctuations and discuss the
consequences for stability of motion in vacuum and for position
fluctuations.

Vacuum field fluctuations exert a radiation pressure which induces
mechanical effects on scatterers. The question naturally arises
whether the energy of vacuum fluctuations gives rise to inertia and
gravitation in agreement with the general principles of mechanics.
As a new approach to this question, we discuss the mechanical
effects of quantum field fluctuations on two mirrors building a
Fabry-Perot cavity. We first put into evidence that the energy
related to Casimir forces is an energy stored on field fluctuations
as a result of scattering time delays. We then discuss the forces
felt by the mirrors when they move within vacuum field fluctuations,
and show that energy stored on vacuum fluctuations contributes to
inertia in conformity with the law of inertia of energy. As a
further consequence, inertial masses exhibit quantum fluctuations
with characteristic spectra in vacuum.

A precise definition of the Casimir energy, Authors: K. Kirsten , E. Elizalde
The somehow arbitrary definition of the Casimir energy corresponding
to a quantum system in a $d$-dimensional ultrastatic spacetime
---profusely used in the last years--- which has been critized
sometimes for adopting without a sound argument the minimal
subtraction scheme, is shown to be completely equivalent to the
definition steming naturally from the concept of functional
determinant through the zeta-function prescription. This is done by
considering the theory at finite temperature and by defining then
the Casimir energy as its energy in the limit $T\to 0$. The
ambiguity in the coefficient $C_{d/2}$ is understood to be a result
of the necessary renormalization of the free energy of the system.
As an example, the Casimir energy corresponding to a general
$(1+2)$-dimensional toroidal spacetime with flat spatial geometry,
parametrized by the corresponding Teichm\"uller parameters, and its
precise dependence on these parameters is obtained under the form of
an analytic function.

Ernest G. Cullwick. In his book "Electromagnetism and Relativity",
published in 1957, was one of the first to provide an analysis of
the probable coupling between EM and inertial fields. Cullwick
realized that Maxwell's equations and most existing theories of
electrodynamics assume that the mass of an electron is zero. At
Maxwell's time this was a reasonable assumption. But it is well
known today that electrons have mass, and therefore an inertial
momemtum is always associated with an electric current. Cullwick
suggested in his analysis that coupling terms between EM and inertia
may be very small, but would likely appear sometime in the future
as we go to higher current densities. And he was one of the first
scientists to predict some of the odd effects which can now seen
with superconductors. Cullwick was also one of the first to identify
and attempt an analysis of the relativistic paradoxes and unusual
effects which occur in a rotating EM field. His work still stands
today as one of the only existing efforts to consider the problem
of a rotating EM field.

If you work out the metric for EM waves circulating in a cavity you get
some strange results. There is a preliminary discussion of this effect
in the article by Houshang Ardavan, 'Gravitational Waves from
Electromagnetic Waves' in the book "Classical General Relativity,"
edited by W.B. Bonner, I.N. Islam and M.A.H. MacCollum (Cambridge Univ.
Press, 1984).
It is something I have seen done. At the point in an annular cavity
where the phase velocity goes from less than c to greater than c, a term
shows up in the derived metric of the system that looks like a source
term. On the other hand you have assumed that the metric is source free
in the EM region of the cavity. So you get a solution which contradicts
the hypothesis that went into building the solution. You get something
which is possibly unphysical. Now Einstein's equation and the associated
geometry is pretty tricky and it is easy to get unphysical solutions.
The final arbitors of whether a solution is satisfactory or not is
physical reasonability and self consistancy (these are almost the same
thing). The cavity problem seems very physically reasonable initially,
but ends with a self-consistancy problem which appears to be unphysical.
Also, Cauchy's theorem does not apply to this case since it becomes a
mixed type problem (elliptic and hyperbolic PDEs), so the Hawking
singularity theorems don't a priori apply. It is something very
interesting, but to publish it with out being scoffed at would take
a lot of work and possibly inventing some new math.

How fast do you want it rotated? It's fairly simple to construct a system
to produce rotating EM waves at whatever rotational velocity you wish by
feeding a pair of broadside dipole arrays with quatrature phased waves.
It is quite simple to construct a system that would have a rotational
velocity of C within the uniform field area. It might also be fairly easy
to do this with a Hemholtz coil arangement as well, but the broadside array
will be much easier to do at easily engineerable frequencies.
Some really interesting paradoxes come about when the rotational frequency
is high enough so that the rotational velocity exceeds C within the uniform
field area of the arrays or within the hemholtz coils.

Ehrenfest Paradox (Ehrenfest, 1909) --
The special relativistic "paradox" involving a rapidly rotating
disc. Since any radial segment of the disc is perpendicular to
the direction of motion, there should be no length contraction
of the radius; however, since the circumference of the disc is
parallel to the direction of motion, it should contract.
Question -- by Kung Lo (October 1995):
Take a rigid disk of radius R and spin it up to angular velocity . As
seen by an observer S that is at rest in the center of the disk, the
radius is still R, but the circumference is contracted by the Lorentz
effect. How is this possible?
More physically, if a fixed ring is just outside the spinning
disk and placed with equally spaced markers on the rim of the disk and
on the fixed ring, I know by symmetry that, when one marker on the disk
is aligned with a marker on the ring, all pairs of markers must be
aligned. This contradicts the fact that, for observer S, the distance
between successive markers on the disk is reduced by the Lorentz
factor.
Answer -- provided by David Djajaputra (November 1995):
It seems that the rotating disk paradox (it turned out to be Ehrenfest's
paradox) has been extensively analyzed by many people (including Einstein
himself, who developed general relativity to answer this problem, as one
author speculates...). This I found from a nice paper :
O. Gron, "Relativistic description of a rotating disk"
Am. J. Phys. V43, 869 (1975), and all the references therein.
The key sentence in Gron's paper is at the end of Section IV:
"By definition a Born rigid motion of a body leaves lenghts unchanged,
when measured in the body's proper frame . (...) A Born rigid motion
is not a material property of the body, but the result of a specific
program of forces designed to set the body in motion without
introducing stresses. (...) A transition of the disk from rest to
rotational motion, while it satisfies Born's definition of rigidity,
is a kinematic impossibility"
With this kinematics the radius is R and the circumference is as
measured by observer S (lab frame), but an observer riding on the disk
will measure a distance R to the center and a distance around the
circumference (he can do this measurement by slowly walking around the
spinning disk with a meter tape). This is consistent with the usual
Lorentz contraction . The point is that this is NOT a Born rigid
motion. There is much more in Gron's paper.
-- Vittorio Celli
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Several key pharases keep popping up regarding rotating fields, powerful
magnetic pulsed fields, and 90 degree cross-field phase shifts.
For example, Preston Nicholes describes a device known as a Delta T
antenna in the Montauk series of books. The Delta T antenna is described
as a pyramidal structure, but lets just take two square loops, placed at
90 degrees to each other, and feed these two loops with an RF signal,
also with a 90 degree phase shift, we will produce a rotating magnetic
field within the loops (these loops share a common center point, and
each loop is in a plane 90 degrees from the other)
The speed of rotation of this magnetic field is a direct function of the
frequancy of the applied RF signal. At the center of the antenna, the
rotational velocity is zero, but as you move out from the center, and
rotational velocity increases. At some distance from center would reach
the speed of light, dependant of the frequancy used.
One could imagine that the rotational velocity of this rotating magnetic
field could reach the speed of light within the antenna structure itself
if a way could be found to make the antenna much larger than a normaly
resonant antenna would be for that same frequancy. At several hundred
megahertz, a two meter per side square loop would have a rotational
velocity well in excess of the speed of light within the antenna structure
itself.
What effect would there be at the boundry where the rotational velocity
reached, and then exceeded the speed of light. How could the magnetic
field even propogate to the center of the antenna structure if it would
have to move faster than light to reach that space? If hemholtz coils
were used instead of loops, the magnetic field strength would be uniform
inside the structure, how could the field strenght be uniform if there is
not sufficient time for the field to propogate through the space inside
the structure itself?
Could such an effect actually generate a wormhole like phenomena, at energy
levels far below that of neutron stars and such? As the causal mechanism,
the magnetic field, is in roation, would this describe a traversable worm
hole as has been postulated in relationship to rotating black holes?

Let me clear this up a bit, the two coils are acting as antenne already,
producing the rotating field by vector sumnation of the radiated quatrature
phased EM waves. The loops would be operating as the driven elements of
a cubical antenne, not as coils as such.
If you prefer, substitute the two loop antenne with a pair of crossed
dipoles at 90 degrees, this will also produce the rotating field, but
the center will be occupied by the dipoles rather than be open as with
loop antenne of by using sets of broadside arrays. Note that this is not
the same as the rotational speed reaching c inside the "uniform field"
area, as described earlier. It's simple a tool to understsand the
generation of the rotating field and the relationship between applied
frequency and the resultant roational speed.
Rather than loop elements, in practice you might use a phased array of
dipole elements that produces a constant phase plane wave, not unlike a
pair of hemholtz coils produced a uniform field within the coil sets. Four
of these "broadside arrays" would from the four sides of a cube, inside of
which you could induce the fast rotating fields from the radiated EM waves.
In all cases, the driven elements are lauching EM waves a c. Only the
vector sum of the two (of four) quatrature fields is in rotation, which
leads us back the the question of what happens as the rotational velocity
of the sum of these EM fields reaches c within the field generator, and
there is not sufficient time for the fields to propogate accross the Vr=c
boundry?
This is the point where two different physists have tried to lead me dowm
the garden path of "red shifted magnetic fields". I'm not sure I'm ready
to buy that concept just yet.

near them try to exceed the speed of light. At low frequencies the coils
create a rotating magnetic field. At high frequencies they send out radio
waves having a rotating field vector (circularly polarized waves, in other
words.) WITHIN the volume of the coils the fields still rotate, at least
until the frequency is raised so high that the coils are many wavelengths
across. At these frequencies the fields in the center of the crossed
coils would be of complex shape, maybe some kind of contracting spiral.
(Which is interesting, because at very high frequencies there would be a
"hot spot" at the exact center of the crossed coils.)
-- Robert Shannon
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
On similar topic: anyone ever heard of the "CFA antenna" flap in the UK?
CFA is for "crossed-field antenna." There were a bunch of articles and
letters to the editor in EWW, "Electronics and Wireless World," the
British engineering mag. The CFA-believers though they had discovered a
way to make 1-foot antennas which were efficient at 100-meter wavelengths.
The key to the CFA was to create the e- and b-fields separately: feed both
a coil-loop and a pair of capacitor-spheres with separate high-current and
high-voltage signals respectively, orient them 90deg to produce a
broadside wave, shift the phases with L/C networks to form the proper EM
wave (90? zero? ), and then obtain a powerful EM emission from a
tiny antenna. There was a great quantity of argument and name-calling
over this, all done in slow-motion over many months of letters in the
letters-to-the-editor column. Then it just died away. Either the pro-CFA
side couldn't prove that it worked, or nobody believed the proof they did
find.

And some comments about rotating EM fields by Dr Dennis Cravens in
a report titled "Electric Propulsion Study", done for the Astronautics
Laboratory at Edwards AFB. August 1990. Dennis Cravens was formerly with
SAIC Corp, and is now working with CETI in development of cold
fusion. Anyway, here's some things he says in the electric propulsion
report about the "peculiarities" of a rotating magnet:
ROTATION OF MAGNETS - There is a continuing debate in physics as to
the reality of the magnetic field. The prime question is whether the
axial magnetic field of a bar magnet rotates with the magnet or is
stationary. The Faraday homopolar generator dates back to the 1830s.
DePalma, Tewari, and others have attempted to utilize the Faraday
generator to produce more power than needed to run it. Most objective
reviews of the work have, however, failed to see such effects.
It is doubtful that these claims will be independently validated and
even more doubtful that they will lead directly to a propulsive system.
However, the work on homopolar generators as high current devices is
reasonable and may be useful for ground uses. The angular momentum
complications seem to rule the system out for any practical space
applications.
SEARL EFFECT - The Searl Effect is a separate issue from homopolar
generator above. Searl has claimed to produce disk levitation by
rapidly rotating magnets. There have been claims of anti-gravity,
high electric fields, perpetual motion, inertial loss, and gas
ionization. All these claims come from Searl or those supportive
of his work and no outside witnesses are available. Searl has not
supplied any technical data or specifics of the operation in any
easily referenced source. It is not recommended that his work be
experimentally followed by the USAF. It is worth noting however,
that a rotating magnet does have some definite theorectical
peculiarities.
Through the years there have been many interesting developments
concerning the Faraday Homopolar generator. DePalma has claimed
to get more energy out than is supplied to the the generator.
None of the claims seem to withstand careful examination and no
machine has ever been made self driving. The underlying reason
that such claims continue to surface is that rotating magnetic
fields are extremely difficult to handle within existing theories.
This is because for a rotating frame there is a distance (removed
from the axis) which is travelling at velocities greater than
c. Although the distance is not withing any real physical object,
it's existence within the mathematical development greatly
complicates any calculations.

These articles are indicative of studies of EM waves and rotating

Here's an interesting news brief from Infinite Energy magazine,

A bombshell paper has just been published in the American Journal

Equations in a Rotating Medium: Is There a Problem?" by Gerald
N. Pellegrini and Arthur R. Swift (the latter of the Dept of
Physics and Astronomy, University of Massachusetts, Amherst MA)"
The paper is a direct challenge to Special Relativity. It proves
one of two things about a classic 1913 experiment of Wilson and
Wilson that was used to verify the prediction of relativity that
"a moving magnetic dipole develops an electric dipole moment.'
The conclusion of the paper is that Special Relativity does NOT
agree with this experiment -- and no one has ever challenged the
quality of the experiment.
Peregrinni told Infinite Energy that he thinks that all of
relativity as well as Maxwell's equations as descriptors of
EM radiation are now called into question.

The origin of the Montauk Project dates back to 1943 when radar
invisibility was being researched aboard the USS Eldridge. As the
Eldridge was stationed at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, the events
concerning the ship have commonly been referred to as the "Philadelphia
Experiment." The objective of this experiment was to make the ship
undetectable to radar and while that was achieved, there was a totally
unexpected and drastic side effect. The ship became invisible to the
naked eye and was removed from time and space as we know it. It went
into 10-dimensional hyper-space. For further info into this, read the
book called "Hyperspace" by Dr. Michio Kaku.
A movie called "The Philadelphia Experiment" was made, but delayed
for two years as the Pentagon was able to halt its release.
After the war, research continued under the tutelage of Dr. John Von
Neumann who had directed the technical aspects of the Phily Experiment.
A massive human factor study was also begun at Brookhaven National
Labs on Long Island, New York -- known as the Phoenix Project.
The Montauk Project culminated on August 12, 1983. A full blown time
portal was fully functioning, but things were out of control and the
project was crashed. An unauthorized video has been widely distributed
regarding this story and several lectures has been given on the Montauk
Project. One science reported for the New York times started the
project but tacked off when he discovered to his own surprise that the
Montauk Project was indeed real.
Three books have been released by Preston Nichols, who was involved in
the Project, and Peter Moon. They are
1) The Montauk Project: Experiments in Time - 1992
2) Montauk Revisited: Adventures in Synchronicity - 1994
3) Pyramids of Montauk Explorations in Consciousness-1995
This coming year, 1996, the next book will be out and the title will
be "Montauk Reconciled"

Comments: Written version of invited contribution to LEAP'94: Third
Biennial Conference on Low-Energy Antiproton Physics.
We know that the generally accepted theories of gravity and quantum
mechanics are fundamentally incompatible. Thus, when we try to
combine these theories, we must beware of physical pitfalls. Modern
theories of quantum gravity are trying to overcome these problems.
Any ideas must confront the present agreement with general
relativity, but yet be free to wonder about not understood
phenomena, such as the dark matter problem and the anomalous
spacecraft data which we announce here. This all has led some
``intrepid" theorists to consider a new gravitational regime, that
of antimatter. Even more ``daring" experimentalists are attempting,
or considering attempting, the measurement of the gravitational
force on antimatter, including low-energy antiprotons and, perhaps
most enticing, antihydrogen.

A Technique for Directly Measuring the Gravitational Acceleration of
Antihydrogen, By: Thomas J. Phillips, Duke University Durham
Comments: Written version of invited contribution to LEAP'94:
Third Biennial Conference on Low-Energy Antiproton Physics.
The gravitational force on antimatter has never been directly
measured. A method is suggested for measuring the acceleration of
antimatter $(\overline g)$ by measuring the deflection of a beam of
neutral antihydrogen atoms in the Earth's gravitational field. While
a simple position measurement of the beam could be used, a more
efficient measurement can be made using a transmission
interferometer. A 1\% measurement of $\overline g$ should be
possible from a beam of about 100,000 atoms, with the ultimate
accuracy being determined largely by the number of antihydrogen
atoms that can be produced. A method is suggested for producing an
antihydrogen beam appropriate for this experiment.

Antimatter Gravity and Antihydrogen Production
Authors: Michael H. Holzscheiter , T. Goldman , Michael Martin Nieto
Certain modern theories of gravity predict that antimatter will fall
differently than matter in the Earth's gravitational field. However,
no experimental tests of gravity on antimatter exist and all
conclusions drawn from experiments on matter depend, at some level,
on a specific model. We have proposed a direct measurement that
would compare the gravitational acceleration of antiprotons to that
of negatively charged hydrogen ions. Substantial progress towards
the development of this experiment has been achieved. Based on our
work a number of alternative proposals for measuring ``$g$" on both
charged and neutral antimatter have been made. We summarize the
present status of our experiment and also discuss the steps that
would be necessary to produce antihydrogen in an environment
suitable for gravity measurements.

Hi Robert, I have one reference for you. The book is called
"Suppressed Inventions and other Discoveries". It's an anthology edited
by Jonathon Eisen. Authors include: Dr. Brian O'Leary, Christopher Bird,
Jeanne Manning, Barry Lynes, and others. As well as Townsend Brown, the
inventers/doctors (as well as inventions the book also covers various
cancer treatments which have had research suppressed) who are discussed
include Naessons, RifeHoxsey, Gerson, Tesla, Brown, Reich and others.
The book covers free energy, various "unfree" though different
motive technologies, cancer cures which have worked but not seen
approval by the AMA, Roswell, the Mars face, and as a delight to
conspiracy buffs, there are also chapters on how various Government
bodies have suppressed these technologies, as well as how the AMA came
to be all powerful in the field of suppressing alternate treatments.

THE DIPOLE COUPLING OF ATOMS AND LIGHT IN GRAVITATIONAL FIELDS,
Karl-Peter Marzlin, 10 pages, LaTeX
The dipole coupling term between a system of N particles with total
charge zero and the electromagnetic field is derived in the presence
of a weak gravitational field. It is shown that the form of the
coupling remains the same as in flat space-time if it is written
with respect to the proper time of the observer and to the
measurable field components. Some remarks concerning the connection
between the minimal and the dipole coupling are given.
The level of difficulty in the above paper is well beyond my grasp. But
what is clear is that it presents an analysis which strongly suggests that
the textbook wavefunctions for electrons within atomic matter can be best
described by the dipole coupling rather than the coulomb gauge. The paper
also relates the dipole coupling to a weak gravitational field. The last
paragraph of the paper provides substance to the idea that gravity is
at least in part, an electric dipole phenomena. Here is the last paragraph:
"It is interesting to make a comparison of the present results with
the well known formal equivalence between the Maxwell field in curved
space and in a dielectric medium (23). In this approach one defines a
formal dielectric displacement vector to describe the influence of
gravity on the Maxwell field. In the absence of particles, i.e. for
vanishing polarisation P, the formal electric displacement agrees with
the vector delta defined above. Also the coupling of the Poynting
vector to the rotation occurs in the energy of the formal Maxwell field."
The paper referenced (23) is:
A.M. Volkov, A.A. Izmest'ev, and G.V. Skrotskii,
Soviet Physics JETP 32, page 686, (1971)
Note: There are a variety of other theories and experiments which
attempt to show that a static gravitational field is identical
to that which results from electric dipole moments -- a polarisation
of the vacuum. And conversely, it is well know that if you accelerate
a dielectric material, or in "equivalence" subject a dielectric
material to a gravitational field or other mechanical force -- an
electric field due to dipole moment (polarisation P) will be generated
within the material. This effect is especially prevalent in structured
crystal dielectrics (piezoelectric materials), which are used as
transducers in accelerometer sensors. You can also find piezoelectric
material, and conversion of mechanical force to a high voltage electric
field, in push-button spark igniters used on gas grills and cigarette
lighters.
Here's a thought. To enlighten those folks who continue to
stubbornly try to debunk the evident relationship between
gravitation and electromagnetics -- insert one of these spark
igniters in a neuro-sensitive body cavity, and click it as
many times as necessary.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
One issue with the electrostatic dipole hypothesis is that
once the magnetic effects of spin etc have been considered there
is no evidence of such dipoles inside atomic nuclei and
electrons. However if magnetic properties of nuclei and electrons
can be represented in terms of electrostatic dipoles as recent
experiments and theoretical discussion seem to indicate then
this objection is avoided. The dipole can be produced by a
negatively oriented particle orbiting a positive central
particle so that the combination has a net positve charge (see
Rev Sci Instr Mar 1985 and Geomagnetism: Gravity Measured by
Magnetic Materials, ICP Press, Box 492 NY NY 10185 $25US 1994
by R Sansbury) An added benefit: the observed quadrapole in
nuclei and electrons makes more sense in a physically real
Taylor expansion by the inclusion of an observed dipole term as
well; that is the dipole term is not observed because its
effects are wrongly attributed to another cause, magnetism; thus
magnetism is properly regarded as a derived apparently separate
force like the Coriolis sideways force on bodies moved radially
on a rotating platform.
-- Ralph Sansbury
---------------------------------------------------------------------
About electric dipole precession. The article "Electricity" in Britannica
includes a resonance equation for dipole precession in dielectrics. It was
identical in form to the one used in magnetic resonance, except for the
obvious differences in units. Dielectric precession (resonance) frequencies
were in the optical range.
Brown didn't use resonance; but he did use a steady frequency. His
frequency, too, would damp out if it were discontinued. Greater results
than Brown's could probably be achieved with lasers. But I doubt you'll
find a better description of dielectric dipole resonance. The Britannica
article gives the mathematics.

van der Waals force (J.D. van der Waals) --
Forces responsible for the non-ideal behavior of gases, and for
the lattice energy of molecular crystals. There are three
causes: dipole-dipole interaction; dipole-induced dipole
moments; and dispersion forces arising because of small
instantaneous dipoles in atoms.

"The Electric Dipole Moment of the Electron", Bernreuther & Suzuki,
Reviews of Modern Physics, April 1991 vol 63 no 2
-- An electron or any other elementary particle can possess an
electric moment (EDM) only by virtue of an interaction that
violates parity and time-reversal invariance. The question
of whether an electron EDM exists is thus related directly
to the unsolved problem of CP violation. According to the
standard model, in which CP violation is accounted for in
terms of the Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix, the electron EDM is
predicted to be far too small to be observed experimentally.
However, a number of alternative teoretical models of CP
violation predict larger values of the electron EDM. These
models are of special interest now, when experimental limits
on the electron EDM are improving substantially.

But what is the thing in atomic nuclei that collectively
produces the gravitational field of the Earth etc. and which
causes individual nuclei to react in the prescribed manner?
The hypothesis proposed is that atomic nuclei contain small
electrostatic dipoles (10^-37C.-m.) with radial and longitudinal
components transverse to the west to east spinning direction of
the Earth etc. Such dipoles explain the nuclear magnetic moment
and electrostatic quadrapole moment inferred from the hyperfine
spectra emitted by some excited atoms and the deflection of molecules
such as orthohydrogen in a magnetic field (but not parahydrogen
because the magnetic moments are anti parallel in pairs and cancel)
The Cavendish measurement of the horizontal gravitational
force between two lead spheres instead of being attributed to
the small masses of each can be attributed to the small
horizontal component of the radial force, directed to the center
of the Earth, due to the mass of the Earth on each of the small
masses. That is gravity is not a property of mass per se but
only of spinning mass.
The atomic nuclei of all elements, except iron, cobalt, and
nickel primarily, tend to line up in the direction of the
surrounding atomic nuclei when the bulk object of which they are
a part is moved but in the case of the magnetic elements the
bulk material must also move to complete the required alignment,
hence the north south and downward movement of a magnetized
steel compass needle. Hence the Wilson-Blackett proportionality
between the angular momentum of planets, stars etc and their
magnetic moment where the constant of proportionality is the
square root of the gravitational constant divided by the speed
of light. For more information see Science News Aug 6 '94 p82.

In this paper Dr Teller suggests some clues about the coupling
between electromagnetism and gravitation. In the first part of his
paper Teller describes how an electric field due to polarization
can be induced in a dielectric material which is subject to angular
or linear acceleration, or if subject to a gravitational field. In
the second part of the paper Teller describes, using purely dimenensional
analysis, how a magnetic field might be produced by a spinning mass.
He also comments that the magnitude of this magnetic field might be
exceedingly small, and notes that a "numerical" factor could exist
which might act to increase the magnitude of the field.
(Note: It is speculated by others that alignment of microscopic
particles with the macroscopic spin axis of the earth, could result
in a large "numerical" factor. Fact is, the earth does have a fairly
large measurable magnetic field, about which there are a variety of
theories as to the origin.)

In several unified field theories the torsion trace is set equal to
the electromagnetic potential. Using fibre bundle techniques we show
that this is no leading principle but a formal consequence of
another geometric relation between space-time and electromagentism.

GEOMETRIC INTERPRETATION OF ELECTROMAGNETISM IN A GRAVITATIONAL THEORY WITH
SPACE--TIME TORSION BY KENICHI HORIE, INSTITUT FUR PHYSIK, JOHANNES
GUTENBERG--UNIVERSIT"AT MAINZ, D--55099 MAINZ, GERMANY,
A complete geometric unification of gravity and electromagnetism is
proposed by considering two aspects of torsion: its relation to spin
established in Einstein--Cartan theory and the possible
interpretation of the torsion trace as the electromagnetic
potential. Starting with a Lagrangian built of Dirac spinors,
orthonormal tetrads, and a complex rather than a real linear
connection we define an extended spinor derivative by which we
obtain not only a very natural unification, but can also fully
clarify the nontrivial underlying fibre bundle structure. Thereby a
new type of contact interaction between spinors emerges, which
differs from the usual one in Einstein--Cartan theory. The splitting
of the linear connection into a metric and an electromagnetic part
together with a characteristic length scale in the theory strongly
suggest that gravity and electromagnetism have the same geometrical
origin.
"Gauge Invariant Electromagnetic Coupling with Torsion Potential", Richard
T. Hammond, General Relativity and Gravitation, Vol 23 No 11 1991
Electromagnetism is coupled to torsion in a gauge invariant manner
by relaxing minimal coupling and introducting into the Lagrangian a
term bilinear the electromagnetic field tensor and its torsion potential.
The resulting coupling between electromagnetism and torsion is examined
and a solution corresponding to traveling coupled waves is given. Since
torsion is usually regarded as resuting from the spin of a body, this
might establish a classical relationship between charge and spin. The
results suggest that the effect should be looked for in high intensity
electric fields of low frequency.
"Detecting Torsion from Massive Electrodynamics", L.C. Garcia de Andrade,
and M. Lopes, General Relativity and Gravitation, Vol 25 No 11 1993
A new method of detecting torsion in the case of massive electrodynamics
is proposed. Several authors have proposed methods for the detection of
torsion in theories of the Einstein-Cartan type, and also in theories
where the torsion field propogates. These theories are based on the
studies of Dirac test particles, which have spin like the electron,
and the gyroscope-like precession of these atomic particles. The
interaction energy between the torsion vector Q, and an electric dipole p,
is given by (p dot Q).

CONSEQUENCES OF PROPAGATING TORSION IN CONNECTION-DYNAMIC THEORIES OF
GRAVITY, BY SEAN M. CARROLL AND GEORGE B. FIELD, 16 PAGES PLUS ONE FIGURE
(PLAIN TEX), MIT-CTP #2291.
We discuss the possibility of constraining theories of gravity in
which the connection is a fundamental variable by searching for
observational consequences of the torsion degrees of freedom. In a
wide class of models, the only modes of the torsion tensor which
interact with matter are either a massive scalar or a massive spin-1
boson. Focusing on the scalar version, we study constraints on the
two-dimensional parameter space characterizing the theory. For
reasonable choices of these parameters the torsion decays quickly
into matter fields, and no long-range fields are generated which
could be discovered by ground-based or astrophysical experiments.

IN KALUZA-KLEIN THEORIES, KUBYSHIN YU.A., MALYSHENKO V.O. AND MARIN RICOY D.
Invariant connections with torsion on simple group manifolds S are
studied and an explicit formula describing them is presented. This
result is used for the dimensional reduction in a theory of
multidimensional gravity with curvature squared terms on M^{4} times S.
We calculate the potential of scalar fields, emerging from extra
components of the metric and torsion, and analyze the role of the
torsion for the stability of spontaneous compactification.

Subject: Antigravity in Jane's
From: "Terry Colvin"
"All those interested in advanced propulsion concepts should check out
Jane's Defence Weekly, 10 June 1995. An article discusses anti-gravity
schemes and shows drawings of sauceroid vehicles from British Aerospace
among others. Area 51 is mentioned, as well as an unclassified paper done
for the USAF by Science Applications International Corp. in 1990. The
subject was [Electric Propulsion], a[n] euphemism for anti-gravity
according to Jane's. Michael Flora"

Anti-Gravity for Real -- Discussed in Jane's Defence Weekly
Jane's Defence Weekly is a most respected journal in the
defense industry. Jane's has often been the first to break
the news about secret development of radically new technologies
and equipment.
Jane's Defence Weekly of 10 June 1995, has an article about
advanced aerospace technologies, written by Nick Cook. The idea
of anti-gravity is taken seriously and is auspicously present
throughout the article -- including three artist renditions of
future anti-gravity based craft.
The Jane's article commences with a mention of anti-gravity
technology, and also ends with a few paragraphs discussing
anti-gravity. In between is the bulk of the article, which
consists of discussion of "conventional" subjects, including:
Hypersonics, Gas Turbine Inrements, The Super Cockpit, and Stealth.
At the start of the Jane's article there is some information
from the Gravity Rand Report on Electrogravitics which was done
for the USAF in 1956, and was recently declassified. Here's
an excerpt from the beginning of the Jane's article.
Take this example from a specialist US aviation magazine in
1956. "We're already working with equipment to cancel out
gravity," Lawrence D Bell, founder of the company that bears
his name was quoted as saying. Bell, apparently, was not the
only one working in this field. Others said to be seeking to
master this arcane 'science' included the Glenn L Martin
Company, Convair, Lear, and Sperry Gyroscope. Within a few
years we were assured, aircraft, cars, submarines and power
stations would all be driven by this radical new propulsion
technology. Sadly it was not to be.
Here's the ending section of the Jane's article.
BEYOND 2001
Groom Lake Nevada is the epicentre of classified USAF research
into Stealth and other exotic aerospace technologies. Several
years after the collapse of the Soviet threat, activity and
investment at this remote, highly secret air base (so secret
its prescence is, as yet, unacknowledged by the US government)
is still on the increase. While research into less sensitive
technologies such two-dimensional thrust-vectoring and advanced
short take-off and vertical landing (ASTOVL) are pursued in the
open at nearby Edwards AFB in California, Groom Lake is set to
hang onto its secrets. The USAF's recent confiscation of 1600
acres of public land bordering the facility is consistent with
the Pentagon's desire to maintain its lead in quantum leap
technologies -- some of which, according to well qualified
observers in and around the Nevada area, defy current thinking
into the predicted direction of aerospace engineering.
That aerospace ocmpanies continue to look at highly radical
alternative air vehicle concepts is evidence of the ongoing
quest for breakthrough designs. Glimpses into this world are
rare, but provide some insight into likely 21st century research
activity. The 1990 unclassified 'Electric Propulsion Study'
(a quest for antigravity propulsion system by another name)
conducted by the USA's Science Application International Corp
(SAIC) on behalf of USAF's then Astronautics Laboratory at
Edwards AFB shows that USAF visionaries are still being given
free reign. Until recently BAe (British Aerospace) also provided
internal resources for its own anti-gravity studies and even
went so far as to outline this thinking with artists' concepts --
a case of Lawrence Bell's vision perhaps being not so wide of
the mark after all.
Before he died, Ben Rich, who headed Lockheed's Skunk Works from
1975-1991, was quoted as saying: "We have some new things. We are
not stagnating. What we are doing is updating ourselves, without
advertising. There are some new programmes, and there are certain
things -- some of them 20 to 30 years old -- that are still
breakthroughs and appropriate to keep quiet about. Other people
don't have them yet.
Thirty years from now, we may still not know the half of what is
currently being tested in and around Groom Lake.

It might interest antigravity researchers to know (for those not already
aware) that Professor ER Laithwaite, a respected British electrical engineer,
has been doing work on this very subject for decades, but when he tried to
demonstrate the viability of his theories to his peers their closed minds
closed ranks and ridiculed his efforts as fantasy. Laithwaite lost cred with
the scientific community and had to rely just on one or two close associates
in semi-secrecy.
A recent (a year or two ago) series of TV programmes in Britain (on
controversial scientific discoveries that have yet to accepted by the
scientific establishment as worthy of further research and funding) ran
an episode on Laithwaite. He claimed that gyroscopes could transfer mass.
I know of one book he wrote: Transport Without Wheels published by Paul
Elek in 1977 ISBN 0236400665 (info from an old note I made) though this
is NOT specifically about his antigravity theories (I remember that it
concentrated on propulsion via electrical rails) I would be most interested
in learning about anything he (or anyone else) might have written
specifically on his antigravity work.

"Propulsion by Gyro", Eric Laithwaite, Space, Sep 1989 Vol 5 No 5
In an attempt to reveal the strange, hidden properties of gyroscopes,
Professor Eric Laithwaite explains the physics behind the idea that
a propulsion system could be built using gyros.

One of the first "scientific" DOGMAS fed to new physics
students is the doctrine about "projectile motion". Students
are given several formulas or equations from which they can
precisely calculate how high and far a projectile will travel
given its initial speed and angle from the ground.
But the results are NOT so absolute as students are led
to believe, even if they take into account air resistance and
Coriolis effects.
Recent experiments have shown that if the projectile is
SPINNING at HIGH SPEED, (at least 27,000 RPM), [axis of spin
coinciding with line of projection], the projectile will
travel HIGHER and FARTHER than predicted by Newtonian mechanics!
Similarly, experiments with falling gyroscopes have
shown that a gyroscope whose enclosed rotor is spinning at
high speed (about 27,000 RPM) falls AT A DIFFERENT RATE than
when the same gyroscope falls with rotor NOT spinning.
The AMOUNT of DEVIATION might depend on the MATERIAL
COMPOSITION of the projectile or rotor, as suggested in the
text of U.S. Patent #3,626,605, "Method and Apparatus for
Generating a Secondary Gravitational Force Field", by Henry
W. Wallace, Dec. 14, 1971.
These DEVIATIONS are EASILY REPRODUCABLE, and
effectively DIS-PROVE the OVER-HYPED "General Theory of
Relativity" which states that gravity results from a "warping
or distorion of space" caused by the MERE PRESENCE of mass.
- Robert McElwaine
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The late Henry W Wallace died april 1994. Fellow researchers at GE
were not "happy" with his research regarding gravitational fields.
An interesting article was written in The New Scientist circa
1980 about Wallace's work.
-- Ron Kita
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Henry Wallace was an engineer at General Electric about 25 years
ago, and developed some incredible inventions relating to the
underlying physics of the gravitational field. Few people
have heard of him or his work.
US Patent #3626605 -- "Method and Apparauts for Generating
a Secondary Gravitational Force Field"
Awarded to Henry Wm Wallace of Ardmore PA Dec 14, 1971
US Patent #3626606 -- "Method and Apparatus for Generating a
Dynamic Force Field"
Awarded to Henry Wm Wallace of Ardmore PA Dec 14, 1971
US Patent #3823570 -- "Heat Pump" (based on technology
similar to the above two inventions)
Awarded to Henry Wm Wallace of Freeport NY July 16, 1973
Wallace discovered that a force field, similar or related to
the gravitational field, results from the interaction of relatively
moving masses. He built machines which demonstrated that this
field could be generated by spinning masses of elemental material
having an odd number of nucleotides -- i.e. a nucleus having a
multiple half-integral value of h-bar, the quantum of angular
momentum. Wallace used bismuth or copper material for his
rotating bodies and "kinnemassic" field concentrators.
Aside from the immense benefits to humanity which could result
from a better understanding of the physical nature of gravity,
and other fundamental forces, Wallace's inventions could have
enormous practical value in countering gravity or converting
gravitational force fields into energy for doing useful work.
So, why has no one heard of him? One might think that the
discoverer of important knowledge such as this would be
heralded as a great scientist and nominated for dynamite
prizes. Could it be that his invention does not work?
Anyone can get the patents. Study them -- Wallace -- General
Electric -- detailed descriptions of operations -- measurements
of effects -- drawings and models -- it is authentic. If
you're handy you can even build it yourself. It does work.
So what is going on?
One explanation I've heard is that Wallace ran up against
the politics of science, as dictated in the late 1960's by
the power-block at Princeton, who were primarily interested in
promoting the ideas of their main man, Einstein, and the
gravitation-is-geometry paradigm. Maybe there is some truth
to this story. Nowadays, there seems to be a piss-pot full
of theoretical physicists working on abstract geometrical
theories and other absurdly difficult mental masturbations,
while no one seems to have made any effort to provide a
theoretical explanation of the physics of a nuts-and-bolts
invention which could have enormous practical value.
Maybe we can blame it on the Princeton folks, but I'm more
inclined to believe that our defense industry black project
community has confiscated and suppressed knowledge of Wallace's
discoveries. All done of course under the most honorable and
sacred banner of national security. Well, it's been 25 years.
We ought to be real secure by now. Isn't it way past time for
some trickle down benefits to real people?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There are two paragraphs about the Wallace inventions in the
Electric Propulsion Study by Dr Dennis Cravens, prepared in
1991. Cravens had this to say about Wallace's work:
ROTATIONAL ALIGNMENT - Nuclei can also be aligned by rotation.
Henry Wallace claimed some unusual effects assigned to electomagnetic
and gravitational couplings. This was in three US patents (3823570,
3626605, and 362606). The assertion was that the application of a
rotational force on a material of half-integral spin would result
in a reorientation of the nuclear structure and could be utilized
for "altering its gravitational attraction toward other bodies,
separation of isotopes by distinguishing between nuclei according
to their nucleon content..." The patents are written in a very
believable style which includes part numbers, sources for some
components, and diagrams of data.
Attempts were made to contact Wallace using patent addresses and
other sources but he was not located nor is there a trace of what
became of his work. However, should the work be real it may furnish
a novel experimental approach to experimental design. The concept
can be somewhat justified on general relativistic grounds since
rotating frames of time varying fields are expected to emit
gravitational radiation. Even if the work does not give a direct
gravitational coupling it may furnish a new method for nuclear spin
alignment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
An article about the Wallace patents appeared in the British
magazine "New Scientist" in February 1980. This was written
nearly ten years after Wallace was awarded his patents.
Here's a paragraph from the article.
"Although the Wallace patents were initially ignored as
cranky, observers believe that his invention is now
under serious but secret investigation by the military
authorities in the US. The military may now regret
that the patents have already been granted and so are
available for anyone to read."
I know -- it's a tease. And the rest of the article is the
same way. It provides barely enough information to jab your
psyche a little, and not nearly enough to get you off your
comfortable ass. And who knows who the anonymous party of
"observers" are, who believe that a secret investigation is
underway by the military -- or whether these observers even
exist at all. None the less, the New Scientist has a fairly
well established track record for accurate identification of
new science trends and issues. And, while the editors of this
British journal may be prone to enjoyment of gossip and
innuendo, it generally turns out be grounded in truth.

A property of spin selective reactions to sort the nuclei according to
their spin and orientation, is discussed. The separation of spin
(magnetic) and spinless (nonmagnetic) nuclei forms the basis for the
magnetic isotope effect, the separation of nuclei according to their
orientation and creation of nuclear alignment in reaction products is
a basis for the chemically induced nuclear polarisation phenomenon.

Collective T- and P- Odd Electromagnetic Moments in Nuclei with Octupole
Deformations
Author(s): N. Auerbach , V.V. Flambaum , V. Spevak
Parity and time invariance violating forces produce collective P-
and T- odd moments in nuclei with static octupole deformation.
Collective Schiff moment, electric octupole and dipole and also
magnetic quadrupole appear due to the mixing of rotational levels of
opposite parity and can exceed single-particle moments by more than
a factor of 100. This enhancement is due to two factors, the
collective nature of the intrinsic moments and the small energy
separation between members of parity doublets. The above moments
induce T- and P- odd effects in atoms and molecules. Experiments
with such systems may improve substantially the limits on time
reversal violation.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hughes-Drever experiment was conducted in 1959-1960 independently
by Vernon Hughes and collaborators at Yale University, and by Ron
Drever at Glasgow University. In the Glasgow version, the experiment
examined the ground state of the lithium-7 nucleus in an external
magnetic field. The state has total angular momentum quantum number
3/2, and thus is spolit into four equally spaced levels by the magnetic
field. When the nucleus undergoes a transition between a pair of adjacent
levels, the photon emitted has the same energy or frequency, no matter
which pair of levels was involved. The result is a single narrow spectral
line. Any external perturbation of the nucleus that is associated with
a preferred direction in space, such as the motion of the Earth relative
to the mean rest frame of the universe, will destroy the equality of the
energy spacing between the four levels, since the nuclear wave functions
of the four levels have different spacial dependencies relative to
the magnetic field. Using nuclear magnetic resonance techniques, the
experiments set a limit on the separation or spread in frequency of line
that corresponded to a limit on anistropy or bidirectional dependence
in the energy of the nucleu at the level of one part in 10^23.
-- Clifford Will, Chapt 2 of The New Physics, edited by Paul Davies
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Magnetic resonance in its various forms, NMR, EPR, and EFR, are
all applied to relatively small specimens and, with the exception of
EFR, are rarely applied to magnetic materials. EFR means Electron
Ferromagnetic Resonance, and the best intro to this subject is by
Vonsovskii. Curiously, there is no published data on EFR for large
ferromagnetic specimens. A literature search at a campus of the
University of California revealed nothing. F. Herlach has said
that there is an 'open' literature and a 'closed' literature
concerning magnetic research.
-- Larry Adams
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A body which is spinning within a larger macroscopic body
which is also spinning will tend to align the axis of its
angular momentum with the angular momentum of the larger body.
For example, a gyroscope located on the earth, unless it is
in a frictionless gimbal, with always try to precess due to
the rotation of the earth into alignment with the earth's polar
axis, at which point it will no longer precess due to earth
rotation.
Another example, a cylinder of magnetic material spinning
around its longitudinal axis will develop a magnetic field
proportional to is angular velocity (Barnett Effect), because
the angular momemtum of the electrons in the material will
attempt to precess and come into alignment with the macroscopic
axis of the spinning cylinder, which also brings into alignment
the magnetic moment of the electrons, some of which have unpaired
spins (ferromagnetic), resulting in generation of a macroscopic
magnetic field. Similarly, it is know that a static magnetic field
itself contains angular momentum -- and spinning the source of the
static field, whether a magnet or DC current loop, will result
in a corresponding increase or decrease in the field strength.
Another example is the inventions of Henry Wallace. Wallace
found that if you spin a material which has an odd number of
nucleotides, i.e. having an "un-paired" value of angular
momentum, resulting in a nucleus with a multiple integer of a
one-half value of quantum momentum. The spin in the nucleus will
begin to line up with the macroscopic spin axis, and will create
an unusual force field related to gravity -- which he call a
"kinemassic" field.
Maybe I've missed it, but I've looked seriously, and there seems
to be no information in undergraduate or graduate level physics
reference books which mentions the relationship between
macroscopic and microscopic angular momentum -- much less
provides any analysis or explanation linking quantum angular
momentum to macroscopic angular momentum. Why not?
How does quantum angular momentum become organized from a
microscopic to a macroscopic level? Has anyone ever published
any work about this? I can't find any.

You're catching on. The subject of compound angular momentum, or
internal and external angular momentum, or intrinsic and extrinsic
angular momentum has been a repressed subject for about 2 and half
decades. Add to that list, spherical pendulums, Coriolis effect, except
as applied to balistics and meteorology as used by the US military,
and Shafer's pendulum, that neat little device used as the artifical
horizon of aircraft.

There isn't any that I know of, though back in the late fifties, there
was a fellow named Edward Condon at the University of Colorado who was
fairly proficient on the subject. So much so that he wrote the rotational
dynamics section, called noninertial dynamics at the time, of the
reference "The Handbook of Physics" which he also co-edited (Chapter 5).
I don't recall offhand who the publisher was (Harcourt/Brace?), though
it was endorsed by the American Institute of Physics.
Later, when Mr Condon was the head of the USAF project 'Blue Book', he
labored to supress his own work when the directive was handed down from
the Navy's Turtle Island project.

Condon directed a government UFO project, but was never the head of
Blue Book. That position was held, for most or perhaps all of Blue Book's
life, by an Air Force Officer Named Edward Ruppelt. Blue Book was shut
down in 1969, shortly after the report of the project Condon directed,
"Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects".

GENERAL RELATIVITY & QUANTUM COSMOLOGY, ABSTRACT GR-QC/9308009
THE QUANTUM PROPAGATOR FOR A NONRELATIVISTIC PARTICLE IN THE VICINITY OF
A TIME MACHINE DALIA S. GOLDWIRTH, MALCOLM J. PERRY, TSVI PIRAN AND
KIP S.THORNE.
We study the propagator of a non-relativistic, non-interacting
particle in any non-relativistic ``time-machine'' spacetime of the
type shown in Fig. 1: an external, flat spacetime in which two
spatial regions, V- at time t- and V+ at time t+, are
connected by two temporal wormholes, one leading from the past side
of V- to t the future side of V+ and the other from the past
side of V+ to the future side of V-. We express the propagator
explicitly in terms of those for ordinary, flat spacetime and for
the two wormholes; and from that expression we show that the
propagator satisfies completeness and unitarity in the initial and
final ``chronal regions'' (regions without closed timelike curves)
and its propagation from the initial region to the final region is
unitary. However, within the time machine it satisfies neither
completeness nor unitarity. We also give an alternative proof of
initial-region-to-final-region unitarity based on a conserved
current and Gauss's theorem. This proof can be carried over without
change to most any non-relativistic time-machine spacetime; it is
the non-relativistic version of a theorem by Friedman, Papastamatiou
and Simon, which says that for a free scalar field, quantum
mechanical unitarity follows from the fact that the classical
evolution preserves the Klein-Gordon inner product.
