Podkletnov, & anti-gravity
Dr. Eugene Podkletnov, & anti-gravity
Aeroplane manufacturers get in on the act, as Jane's Defence Weekly reported:
"Boeing, the world's largest aircraft manufacturer, has admitted that it is working on experimental anti-gravity projects that could overturn a century of conventional aerospace propulsion technology if the science that underpins them - science that senior Boeing officials describe as "valid" - can be engineered into hardware."
Dr Podkletnov claims to have carried out an experiment involving a supercold, spinning ceramic ring. An object held above the ring lost about 2% of its weight. The pull of gravity on the object was reduced, he claims. It seems that the first time was at the Tampere University of Technology in Finland in 1992. However, the research paper that described the results was submitted to a scientific journal but then withdrawn. The same happened in 1996 when news of the paper's imminent publication leaked. However, Dr Podkletnov has continued to work on his ideas and is reported to have seen similar effects in his studies.
Controlling ions
One area of research into how an invisible force field may be created has involved ions creating what Peter Thompson calls a ‘Charged Sheath Vortex’. To this end we have been looking at any experiments and activities that may produce and control ions. Again, there is uncertainty as to how and why the results of experiments are occurring and some serious doubts about us being able to re-create it as something the public can actually walk into safely.
The charged sheath vortex to which Peter is referring was the industrial by-product process at a polypropylene plant. He was trying to figure out why it was happening and posted this in 2001 on the ESD Journal website:
Naturally Occuring Phenomena
Here also is a response to the ESD Journal site September 22, 2001 from Melissa Georgio.
“ I encountered an invisible wall, but it felt more like a cushion which was vertical and got denser the farther I pushed on it. It lasted for about 30 secs and I could not walk through it. It happened at dusk in England during fog and high sunspot activity. I've been trying to explain it since. I am so glad some one else has experienced a "star trek" like force field and I hope you will encourage your engineers to perfect the effect instead of fixing it by decreasing static.”
We hope so too, Melissa. Unfortunately the trail has gone cold from this posting. If anyone can put us in touch with Melissa, we’d like to hear from her to find out what the humidity and biological conditions were that led to what appears to be a case of naturally occurring static charge. The activity of the sun has begun to be more effectively measured through looking at ‘sonic images’ and the effects have occasionally been profound on the electromagnetic activity on Earth.
Force Fields in Industrial Processes
An invisible force field has been experienced as a by-product of a particular industrial process in a 3M manufacturing plant in the south eastern United States. This occurred in August 1980 at its polypropylene plant around a large film-slitting machine with usually a temperature of about 80 degrees Fahrenheit with a relative humidity of 75-80%.
David Swenson of 3M Electrical Specialties Division in Austin, Texas was called in to investigate the problems with contamination of wide web film as it was being run at high speed, converted (split) into "film jumbos" with a width of 3' x 5' for coating with adhesive to make tape.
Anti-gravity, really?
Physicists insist that because gravity is a basic force of nature, constructing an antigravity machine is theoretically impossible.
Whilst the ‘anti-gravity machine is theoretically impossible’ line may work for some scientists, recently, several highly respected physicists are constructing a ‘force-field’ machine that acts on matter in a similar way to gravity.
If the theoretical work is borne out in the laboratory, it will prove Einstein was correct in predicting that moving matter generates two types of gravitational field: gravito-magnetic and gravito-electric.
Marconi & transatlantic radio
Marconi and the first ever radio transmission across the Atlantic.
Or Was it?.
This is a synopsis of an interesting article that appeared in ‘The Guardian’ on the 11th of December 2001. Written by Laurie Margolis, it was titled ‘Faking the waves’ and examines a new theory in relation to Marconis groundbreaking radio transmission experiments and empirical data.
" It goes down as one of the great moments in science, along with Newtons apple and Flemming's mouldy dish of penicillin: and all it amounted to was three seconds- click-click-click."
One of the most important events in radio communication (and arguably in science) happened at 12:30 pm December 12th 1901. A simple click - click click signal (Morse code for 'S') was picked up by Gugliellmo Marconi and George Kemp at a receiver station at signal hill on the Newfoundland coast. Two other signals were received at 1:10 and 2:20. What was remarkable about this occurrence was the fact that the transmission came from Poldhu in Cornwall, and was not only the first radio transmission to cross the Atlantic, but this was a transmission that broke the existing record by 2,120 miles. ( Up to then the furthest transmission had been only 80 miles, where as this one covered a distance of 2,200) Within a year Marconi had established reliable radio communications with ships over 2000 miles away and by the 1920's the Marconi Company linked the entire British Empire by radio.
Recording the Dead
Recording the Dead - Electronic Voice Phenomena
‘More than 30,000 people in more than 87 countries are members of electronic voice societies, who believe they can record the voices of the dead, and messages from the other side on normal analogue tape recorders. This has been around since the late fifties.
Two of the earliest believers in the ability of harnessing radio waves to contact the dead were the industrialists and scientific pioneers G. Marconi and Thomas Edison. Both of these respected inventors attempted to use early radio devices in contacting the other side.
Another famous example is the film maker Frederick Yergison- who when returning to the studio after recording bird song in a field claims to have recorded the voice of his dead mother..
