"The long and constant persuasion that all the forces of nature are mutually dependent, having one common origin, or rather being different manifestations of one fundamental power, has often made me think on the possibility of establishing, by experiment, a connection between gravity and electricity …no terms could exaggerate the value of the relation they would establish." -- Michael Faraday, physicist, 1865
Qualight Systems Design: Thomas Townsend Brown.
Of all the names of 20th Century science, perhaps none is more obscure, or more curious, than that of Thomas Townsend Brown.Brown, T.T., How I Control Gravity, Science and Invention, Aug 1929
Brown was blessed with the unique ability to "see what others have seen and think what nobody has thought." As a teenager in the 1920s, working in a well-equipped laboratory in the basement of his prominent Ohio family's opulent home, Brown noticed an unusual effect when high voltage was applied to a Coolidge X-Ray tube. With that observation, he came to believe he had discovered a link between electricity and gravity - and a way to lift and propel flying vehicles by purely electrical means.
Thus begins the odyssey of T. Townsend Brown, who spent a lifetime crisscrossing the hemisphere in the relentless pursuit of his "flying saucer pipe dreams."
The writer and his colleagues anticipated the present situation even as early as 1923, and began at that time to construct the necessary theoretical bridge between the two then separate phenomena, electricity and gravitation. The first actual demonstration of the relation was made in 1924.Electrogravitics Systems: An examination of electrostatic motion dynamic counterbary and barycentric control, Gravity Research Group, 1956
This report summarizes in simple form the work that has been done and is being done in the new field of electrogravitics. It also outlines the various possible lines of research into the nature and constituent matter of gravity, and how it has changed from Newton to Einstein to the modern Hlavaty concept of gravity as an electromagnetic force that may be controlled like a light wave.
I think the fatal flaw in Thomas Townsend's capacitor is that anytime you put capacitors in series, well, the total capacitance of that series is less than the smallest capacitance in that series. Another problem is that capacitance increases as plates are brought closer together rather, but that research contradictarily says that the point is to have a "great separation" between the plates (that leads to less charge building up on the plates at a given voltage).
ReplyDeleteFor capacitors in series, the total capacitance is the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals:
1/C = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + 1/C3....
So, anyhow, I've got my doubts about the electrogravitic research, at least as far as that "high-techmagic" report proclaims. However, perhaps if there were a high dielectric capacitor that wouldn't blow up, what sort of material did he claim to use?
(Note: Another way of increasing capacitance is by, contrarily to what "high-techmagic" claims, is to put the capacitors in parallel instead of series because that way the capacitance is additive) .... for capacitors in parallel:
ReplyDeleteC = C1 + C2 + C3 ...
QF,
ReplyDeleteThe claims are not "High-Techmagics." They are T.T. Brown's.

Actually, lol, it isn't even very important what the dielectric constant is for a capacitor, if you want to increase the capacitance of a capicitor you could just make the area of the plates larger, that has the same effect as putting plates in parallel.
ReplyDeleteIt all just seems like a long line of absurdities to me.
ReplyDelete(1) First he says this "The peculiar result is that the gravitational field of the
ReplyDeleteEarth had no apparent connection with the experiment."
(2) And then he contradicts himself by saying this: "When the direct current with high voltage (75-300 kilovolts)
is applied the gravitator swings up the arc until its propulsive
force balances the force of the earth's gravity resolved to that
point, then it stops, but it does not remain there."
What is the oil in his experiment for?
Is figure 3 or figure 4 supposed to be the gravitator?
E = mg ???
Nowhere in that article does it mention how many farads are being placed between the lead balls (fig 5?).
Then he says this which contradicts (1) and (2) "Contrary to the common belief
that gravitational motors must necessarily be vertical-acting the
gravitator, it is found, acts equally well in every conceivable
direction."
Then he gives this absurd conclusion, which is mere unscientific speculation: (4) "concentrated units
may propel automobiles and even airplanes. Perhaps even the
fantastic "space cars" and the promised visit to Mars may be the
final outcome. Who can tell?"
....hopefully the inventer who was researching that subject matter should be able to tell what his experiment is capable of...lol.
NOTE: concentrated units = higher farad capacitors....but he never even quantitates his capacitor. Given the drawing in figure (5), however, I'd conclude that just about any capacitor is more concentrated than his capacitor.
ReplyDeleteQF,
ReplyDelete"It all just seems like a long line of absurdities to me."
Now you know how I feel when I read Newton and Einstein.
QF,
ReplyDelete"hopefully the inventer who was researching that subject matter should be able to tell what his experiment is capable of...lol."
You mean like the Wright Brothers?
The Wright Brothers never messed around with levitating things against gravity with capacitors connected in series.
ReplyDeleteQF,
ReplyDeleteThe Wright Brothers were dealing with flight and they didn't have a clue what their alleged "invention" was capable of.
I just found something that resembles your post .... Charlie the Unicorn
ReplyDeleteQF,
ReplyDeleteUnicorns are real and so is the Biefeld-Brown Effect.
So then put the two together.
ReplyDeleteThey form reality.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but putting a voltage on low farad plates doesn't create antigravity though.
ReplyDelete...perhaps if you put voltage on high farad plates though.
