Biefeld–Brown effect
- eksith 12y agoThere are a bunch of videos demonstrating the effect https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=electromagnetic+lifters https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=electromagnetic... I believe, the Mythbusters demonstrated the effect is entirely due to the moving ionized air and not due to any disturbance of gravity. Fascinating subject nonetheless.
- Zardoz84 12y agoMythbusters don't tested it on high vacuum, where there is an appreciable propulsion effect. NASA have patents of B-B propulsion units to be use on small sats.
- Zardoz84 12y agoB-B working on high vacuum by the NASA : http://jnaudin.free.fr/lifters/ascvacuum/index.htm http://jnaudin.free.fr/lifters/ascvacuum/index.htm > "Conclusions : This experiment is very interesting and shows definitely that a force is produced on asymmetrical capacitors when a High Voltage of +45KV is applied between their armatures in a High Vacuum ( 1.72 x 10^-6 Torr )." Also, NASA patent for it : http://www.google.com/patents/US20020012221 http://www.google.com/patents/US20020012221 There many interesting videos of B-B on high vacuum that shows that "ionized air" isn't the only propulsive force on it. More papers by USA's army labs : http://jnaudin.free.fr/lifters/arl_fac/index.html http://jnaudin.free.fr/lifters/arl_fac/index.html B-B effect is interesting, and needs a real scientific studies, not begin to talk about UFOs, eltrogravity or any sci-fi things. We need real scientific data here !!!
