"It seems that UFO propulsion systems that utilize the terrestrial magnetic field are theoretically sound. But the question of practicability is something that comes from technological development of the proposed system. As yet, the Rotating Capacitor Space Drive I have proposed has not been reduced from the conceptual stage to the hardware stage. The principles of its operation are merely the result of the applications of conventional physical principles. "What is not the result of conventional principles, is the possibility that the system I have proposed may demonstrate some of Townsend Brown's electrogravitic effects (INTERAVIA, Volume XI, No. 5, 1956). Electrogravitic thrust, under this system, occurs only during the charging process and in the direction of the positive plate. In the Rotating Capacitor, using the Wimshurst machine, charging would be a continuous process because of the dielectric breakdown at some 'threshold voltage'. The possibility of getting additional thrust from electrogravitics is exciting, to say the least, and must be investigator thoroughly. Page 1 "My library research shows that as early as 1917, a Professor Nipher had found that the weight of substances could be reduced (become negative) by the application of electrostatic charges. (Science, Sept. 21, 1917, page 173). Dr. Charles Brush, in a series of reports in the PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY around 1922 found, in some well- thought-out-experiments, that weight was not only proportional to mass, but was affected by the atomic structure of the substances. For example, he found that for a given unit of mass and shape, bismuth FALLS FASTER than zinc or aluminum, in complete contradiction to Newton's Law of Gravity which they are still teaching in colleges today! Why have these experiments been ignored! Why have these experiments been ignored? What does the scientific community have to say about the experiments of Townsend Brown, Brush and Nipher? So far, the literature hasn't given me an answer. Incidentally, Otis Carr's work involved counter-rotating charged discs that supposedly produced thrust when they reached a certain speed in relation the the earth's rotational speed and became activated by free energy from space. Maybe he did have something." James E. Cox Space Drive Research Society 2015 H.
