A number of experiments have been performed over the
last several years, which have seemingly shown some form of gravity
control or closely related phenomena.
We are collecting here as many of these experiments as
possible so that hopefully something will mesh together and help us
towards the goal of finding a practical AntiGravity propulsion system.

Dr. Podkletnov
Experiments in 1992 in Finland seemed to show that the
Earth's gravity could be shielded with a superconductor configured in
a certain manner. This experiment, by Eugene Podkletnov, at Finland's
Tampere University of Technology, apparently created a reduction in
the weight of objects placed
above a levitating, rotating superconducting disk:

Tom E. Bearden
Tom Bearden has said that he along with Mr. Sparky Sweet
have produced 'antigravity' from a lab-bench test set-up. The
power-to-weight-ratio was said to be approximately 500 watts of
electrical power per pound of lift at 100 Hertz.

AntiGravity Evidence from Cosmology
An international collaboration of top-ranked
cosmologists, called the High-z Supernova Search Team, made a
surprising announcement in the journal Science this past February
(Science, Feb 27, 1998, pages 1298-1299).
The scientists reported that empty space may well be
filled with a repulsive force of as yet unknown origins. In support of
this antigravity theory, the group cites data on supernovae. The
researchers maintain that the seeming brightness of these distant,
exploding stars suggests that the universe is expanding at an ever
increasing rate--an acceleration that the
standard big bang model could not account for were there no
antigravity.

Dr. Marcel Pages
In 1959, Dr. Marcel Pages proposed a theory at the
International Congress of Satellites and Missiles, wherein gravity is
not caused by the attraction of the Earth, but is caused by the
repulsion of the Cosmos. Accordingly, the force which we call
gravitation, he called 'sheer concentrated protonic
energy'.
He supported his theory with a design of an antigravity
machine which liberated itself from the force of gravity by an
electric field rotating at the speed of light around the vehicle. This
rotating field also suppressed mass
inertia!
His design principle was tested successfully on small
pieces of mica.

Liquid Mercury Mass Effect
An experiment was preformed by Dr. Majorana in which he
surrounded a measured mass with a sphere containing ten tons of liquid
mercury. He noted an apparent loss in weight of the experimental mass
and concluded that the loss was due to an absorbtion of gravity waves
by the dense mercury.

Oscillating Liquid Mercury Effect
Another experiment involving liquid mercury entailed a
test set-up wherein two weights were balanced on an extremely accurate
scale balance. Underneath one of the weights, a quantity of liquid
mercury was caused to oscillate by a high-powered high-capacity pump.
With the pump in operation, the balance indicated a minute loss in
weight of the mass located above the oscillating liquid mercury.
However, the ratio of input
energy (via the pump) to weight loss was found to be impractically
large to be able to develop any useable antigravity mechanism.
COMMENT: Possibly a combination of electrical energy and
liquid mercury could induce useable effects on gravity ? CNC

Foucault Pendulum Abnormalities
The Foucault pendulum exhibits an effect such that the
plane of the pendulum swing does not change. The apparent rotation of
the plane of the pendulum is actually caused by the rotation of the
Earth beneath the pendulum. Therefore the pendulum arc should show an
apparent rotation of one cycle every 24 hours.
Dr. Maurice Allias conducted some remarkable experiments
with some pendulums several years ago, during which a cycle was found
which was between 24 and 25 hours long. Allias's experiments were
performed with a very high degree of accuracy with continuous readings
of about a month, and in two widely separated locations.
Also, during a total solar eclipse, the plane of the
pendulum swing was noted to shift approximately 15 centesimal degrees
exactly at the start of the eclipse. Near the end of the eclipse, the
plane again shifted and returned to the normal periodic cycle it had
been following previous to the eclipse. This gives a very definite
impression of a screen effect.(CNC)

Astronaut Edward White Gemini Space Excursion
During Astronaut Edward White's extravehicular excursion
while in orbit with the early-days Gemini capsule, he noted a physical
phenomena which was unexplainable by Newtonian mechanics. He was able
to rotate his body by extending and retracting his arms in a twisting
motion. Newtonian mechanics says that the body should return to its
original position once all motion has ceased, due to Newton's Law of
Conservation-of-Motion.
If angular momentum is not conserved, then a device can
be built around this anomalous principle to give a linear thrust for
use as a propulsion system. In fact, more than one device using this
principle have been constructed over the last several years. One is
known as the Dean Space Drive whose mechanism uses a counterbalanced
set of rotating eccentric
weights. The axels of the weights are moved linearly by a solenoid
during each rotation. Resultant thrust is produced in the same
direction that the weights are moved. The weights are essentially made
to change orbit, giving up momentum in each cycle to produce thrust.
Two other devices that have been built and patented
apparently utilizing the same principle, are the Cook Drive and the
Kidd Drive. These three drives are not truly 'antigravity' drives, but
are certainly excellent candidates for advanced aerospace propulsion
systems - a giant leap up from the current
Neanderthal-level 'Roman-Candle' technology !
See the References below for further details on all of
these propulsion systems.

Volcanic Effect on Gravity
About 10 years ago, a man was caught too close to a
sudden outburst of volcanic activity on the island of Hawaii. He was
escaping in his car down the volcanic mountain when the car blew a
tire. He had to stop to change the tire so he could continue his fast
escape. When he opened his car trunk to get his spare tire, his tire
iron "Floated" out of the trunk !!! He was able to grab his tire iron,
change the blown tire, and make good his escape.
COMMENT: This sounds like a demonstration of a
moving-mass/ gravity shield connection with some sort of
temperature factor. CNC

Dynamic and Radiation Field Effects by Gravitation
One phenomena which may be noted as a common denominator
throughout these experiments, is the apparent existence and
utilization of a 'gravitational field' or 'matter field'.
This field is akin to an electromagnetic field, but so
far has been shown to be associated predominately with matter. There
are apparently two definable parts to this matter field, a close-up
'dynamic' field effect and a long-range 'radiation' field effect. The
equivalents are demonstrated in an
electromagnetic field.
If this matter field exists, and it seemingly does, it
must be closely related to the well-known electromagnetic field, since
matter and energy are considered interchangable ( e=mc2 ). The fields
(electromagnetic and gravitational) must therefore be connected by a
certain set of functions such that one can be made to affect the
other.
The Biefeld-Brown experiments seem to utilize this
connection most effectively - while all the experiments give clues to
the ultimate solution.

The Biefeld-Brown Effect
Some years ago, Professor Biefeld outlined to his
student, Townsend Brown, certain experiments which led to the
discovery of the phenomenon now known as the Biefeld-Brown effect.
Further, these experiments helped to define the inter-relationship of
electrical and gravitational fields. This
coupling effect parallels electricity and magnetism.
This means that from the technical and commercial
aspects, the Biefeld-Brown effect has potentialities for future
development and exploitation at least as great as the present
electrical industry -probably much more so!
Consider that electromagnetism is basic to electric
generators and motors, power production and distribution, radio,
television, radar, telephones, etc., and is indispensibly linked to
all forms of commercial and other types of transportation. Then it can
be easily seen that the possibility of a parallel
development in the electrogravitational phenomena has almost unlimited
prospects !!! The original experiments conducted by Townsend Brown, as
suggested by Professor Biefeld, concerned the behavior of a condenser
when charged with electricity. The first startling result was that if
placed in a free suspension with the poles horizontal, the condenser,
when electrically charged, showed a forward thrust toward the positive
pole !!! When the
polarity was reversed, it caused a reversal of the direction of
thrust. The experiment was set up in this manner:
The gravity-control effect of vertical thrust is
demonstrated by balancing a condenser on a beam balance and then
charging it. Upon charging, if the positive pole is pointed upward,
the condenser moves upward. Conversely, if the charge is reversed, and
the positive pole is pointed downward, the
condenser thrusts down. The experiment is set up as follows:
These two simple experiments demonstrate what is now
known as the Biefeld-Brown effect. This then is a method of eventually
controlling gravity for man's use.
The intensity or magnitude of the effect is determined
by five known factors, namely:
1.The separation of the plates of the condenser - the
closer the plates, the greater the effect.
2.The ability of the material between the plates to
store electrical energy in the form of elastic stress. A measure of
this ability is called the 'K' factor of the material. The higher the
'K', the greater the Biefeld-Brown effect.
3.The area of the condenser plates - the greater area
giving the greater effect.
4.The voltage difference between the plates - the
greater the voltage, the greater the effect.
5.The mass of the material between the plates - the
greater the mass, the greater the effect.
It is this fifth factor which is unexplainable from the
electromagnetic aspect, and which apparently provides the connection
with gravitation.
Now that the basic concept of electrogravitation has
been presented in the form of the Biefeld-Brown effect, we can now
present the refinements necessary to accomplish the desired goal of a
vehicle powered by a gravity-control (antigravity) mechanism.
The Earth creates and is surrounded with a gravitational
field which approaches zero as we go deeper and deeper into space.
This field 'presses' objects and people towards the Earth's surface,
and therefore 'presses our conjectured vehicle to the ground. However,
thru the utilization
of the Biefeld-Brown effect, our vehicle can generate an
electrogravitational field of its own which modifies the Earth's
gravity field.
This generated field acts like a wave, with the negative
pole at the top of the wave, and the positive pole at the bottom. Our
vehicle travels like a surfboard on the incline of a wave that is kept
continually moving by the vehicle's electrogravitational generator.
Since the orientation of the field can be controlled, the vehicle can
thus travel on its own continuously generated wave in any desired
angle or direction of flight !
The method of controlling the flight of the vehicle is
illustrated by the following simple diagrams showing the charge
variations necessary to accomplish all directions of flight:

Dr. Edwin Saxl - Electrified Pendulum
An interesting experiment conducted by Dr. Edwin Saxl
and reported in Nature Magazine seemingly utilized the same connection
between electricity and gravity that the Biefeld-Brown effect uses.
In his experiment, Dr. Saxl placed a torque pendulum
inside an electrified cage. The cage was electrically charged with
voltages varying from 0 to 5000 volts. With these conditions, the
period of the pendulum was noted to decrease as the voltage increased.
Since the period of a pendulum is directly proportional
to the gravitational constant, the conclusion is that gravity and/or
mass was decreased within the statically charged cage.
