The Biefeld-Brown Effect
Author unknown
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.
