Niekonwencjonalne metody pozyskiwania energii

Panowie 'tjanusz i TADLA.NET' Sumuj±c wasze wypowiedzi, obaj piszecie i¿ je¶li czego¶ nie mo¿na zmierzyæ, zwa¿yæ ani w zaden sposób okre¶liæ znanymi nam metodami pomiarowymi to tego po prostu nie ma. Co do pana 'ita' to zdecydowanie nasmarowa³ przy³bicê i dobrze prawi. Ma niew±tpliwie du¿± wiedzê. Wracaj±c do wypowiedzi pierwszych dwóch forumowiczów to najwyra¼niej zignorowali lub maj± za ma³± wiedzê o czarnych dziurach i zjawiskach tam wystêpuj±cych, (i tu powtórzê) bêd±cych ca³kowitym zaprzeczeniem znanej nam fizyki, a to dowodzi dobitnie o istnieniu 'bia³ych plam' w nauce. Podam przyk³ad, który wyczyta³em kilka lat temu i¿ cz³owiek lec±cy hipotetycznym statkiem wprost w czarn± dziurê tak naprawdê nigdy do niej nie doleci poniewa¿ czas ulega tam tak du¿emu spowolnieniu i¿ najpierw nast±pi zgon pilota. Co k³uci mi siê trochê bo je¶li czas zwalnia to i starzenie powinno zwolniæ, ale nie ja to w koñcu oblicza³em tylko m±drzejsi odemnie. Je¶li chodzi o teoriê rozszerzaj±cego siê wszech¶wiata to jedno z najnowszych przypuszczeñ twierdzi i¿ wszechswiat ma kszta³t tr±bki czyli bardzo d³ugiego lejka. Pytanie tylko jak± pozycjê my zajmujemy z nasz± galaktyk±, gdzie¶ na samym skraju leju czy zmierzamy w³a¶nie do ¶rodka! Tak czy inaczej s± to giagantyczne przestrzenie i moce trudne nawet do wyobra¿enia. W zwi±zku z powy¿szym ¶miem twierdziæ i¿ s± w otaczaj±cym nas ¶wiecie i zjawiska których na razie nie mo¿emy dostrzec i porz±dnie okre¶liæ, ale które od czasu do czasu daj± nam znaæ o sobie wzbudzaj±c kolejne znaki zapytania. Z czasem pewnie i one zostan± poznane i opisane. Powrócê jeszcze do w±tpliwo¶ci jednego z forumowiczów, który napisa³ mniej wiêcej to i¿ ig³a kompasu nie mo¿e byæ si³±. Odpowiem wiêc u¿ywaj±c wyobra¼ni. A co siê stanie je¶li u³o¿ymy powiedzmy sto takich igie³ jedna nad drug±, na wspólnej osi umieszczonej w sworzniach magnetycznych? A na zakoñczenie jeden ma³y pliczek do³±czony do postu, który zapewne os³odzi wielu forumowiczom gorzkie pora¿ki.

Hi JLN,
I'm was impressed with your work on you site since 1996-7, when I see
it for first time, and I'm very grateful for all you effort on every experiment,
test, etc as it must take a lot of time (and money) thanks you!
Today I was testing another configuration for the lifter (see pic
below). It has 5 basic cells, spaced 2 cm, plate is 3 cm tall x 15 cm cocking
aluminium, wire is thin nude copper 3-3.5 cm above the plate, frame of balsa
wood. Flyes very well, very powerful compared to the triangle lifter (that I
build first, see photos), but a bit unstable. Power supply was a DC (how do
you pulsed the HV??), flyback, 2 x 3055 and tripler type, connected to around
30v. HV was 30kv I think (sparks very bright of 3 cm), I don't take
measuraments to it, nor at the weight. All pics are of the unconnected
device. There are movies if someone ask, drop me a line.
Thanks again, Juan Barrios, Buenos Aires, Argentina (latittude 34,
long. 58) & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; :-)

I have previously built and successfull flown a lifter V1 but unfortunately,
I cannot include it right now because it was destroyed by fire due to
arcing.
I used a 40kv 63 watts power supply of a 16 " color tv monitor for my lifter
V2. & nbsp; I also added some improvements to the construction of the lifter V2 to
make it lighter and faster. The matter is discussed in the diagrams attached in
this mail. & nbsp;
The successful launch of my lifters is fully attributed to your site.

Hi Jean-Louis, Jeff Brown asked me to send you pictures of his
lifter helicopters (while he gets some sleep). & nbsp; They're a little unstable,
but they fly! & nbsp; He says he will be busy the next day or two, but he will try
to shoot a video and provide some documentation to you in the next few
days.
This is a picture of one of his first attempts. & nbsp; The wings are
4 " (10 cm) long and were constructed much like standard lifter sections. & nbsp;
This one didn't have a rotor bearing and it didn't have any brushes (it was
supported by the high-voltage wires), so when he turned on the power, it wound
up the wires (as you can see, on the bottom wire in the picture). & nbsp; The wire
is 34 AWG, (0.16 mm). & nbsp; The wings are canted at an angle of approximately 10
degrees.
This was his next attempt. & nbsp; HeliV1Wings.jpg and
HeliV1WingsProfile.jpg show Jeff's excellent blade (wing) construction technique
for this helicopter. & nbsp;
The blades are 6 " (15 cm) long and are on 2 " standoffs (5 cm). This
version has a rotor bearing and brushes. & nbsp; It lifted off, but as soon
as the stand left the table, it went out of control and crashed.
This shows the tail Jeff was planning to add to his frame to help
stabilize the helicopter. & nbsp; The purpose of the tail was to thrust to the
side and act like a standard tail rotor. & nbsp; He didn't send a picture of his
helicopter with the tail on it, but he said that the tail worked (a bit too
well). & nbsp; (The helicopter was still a little bit unstable.)
This shows his latest helicopter. & nbsp; HeliV2Transfer.jpg shows some
of the rotor bearing and brush construction details. & nbsp; He says, with 4
blades, the helicopter tends to tilt to one side and crash, because the
blades make it very top heavy. & nbsp; He says he can't afford to add any weight
to the base, otherwise it might not lift off at all. & nbsp; He also says that
he thinks that it should be possible to cant the blades at a very aggressive
angle (without stalling).

Salut ? vous ! Bonne Année, sans
gravité.. Ci-joint un document explicatif sur la méthode pour alimenter
un Lifter en partant d'une THT d'un moniteur. Soyez prudent avec la haute
tension ! Faîtes-nous part de vos expériences. Cordiales
salutations, Claude Dupré
Quelques conseils pour alimenter un
Lifter : Pour récupérer la
THT d'un moniteur, c'est tr?s simple, mais il faut prendre certaines
précautions. La puissance totale délivrée par une THT n'est pas mortelle,
mais le coeur humain n'apprécie pas de tel choc. Cardiaque, s'abstenir de
prendre de la haute tension! Donc pour la sécurité, il vaudra mieux pratiquer
deux trous dans le moniteur et refermer le capot avant utilisation..
Il est bon de mettre une affichette de " DANGER THT " 1)
S'assurer qu'il délivre au moins 25KV / 20W (voir plaque) 2) Démonter
proprement le capot arri?re du moniteur 3) Le - : c'est la tresse qui entoure
le tube cathodique 4) Le + : c'est la tétine qui plonge dans la partie
supérieure du tube 5) Pratiquer 2 encoches opposées, une ? gauche, une ?
droite, dans le capot (10mm x 5mm) ? environ 10cm de la base, ? l'endroit de la
jonction du capot arri?re et du cache (tube) avant. 6) Souder deux fils de
2m bien isolés sur la tresse (-) entourant le tube, ici la section a peu
d'importance 10 ? 20/10?me suffit 7) Sortir, tel qu'il est, le fil qui
alimente la tétine (+) ? l'opposé 8) Refermer le capot, les fils passés par
les encoches g. et d. pratiquées 9) Le fil - peut reposer simplement sur le
plan de travail 10) Couper le fil + ? 5cm de la tétine et mettre en série
une résistance d'environ 250 K Ohm 3W pour éviter de griller la THT en cas de
court-circuit (fréquents) 11) Isoler fils et résistance(s) avec 4 ou 5
couches de scotch orange de type utilisé pour assembler l'isolation en laine de
verre 12) Elever et fixer la tétine, ? l'aide d'un support tr?s stable, ?
50cm de hauteur (j'ai utiliser une bouteille emplie de sable et un tube de 16mm
en PVC d'isolation électrique) 13) Préparer une base de travail plane de
80x80cm pour le Lifter, genre aggloméré stratifié blanc 15 ? 22mm (non humide)
14) Fixer au scotch l'extrémité dénudée sur 3mm et étamée, d'un des fils -
sur un des côtés de la base 15) L'extrémité de l'autre fil - sera raccordée
? une pointe de touche bien isolée, qui sera éloignée de tout autre conducteurs,
objets ou humains (il servira ? décharger la THT apr?s utilisation) 16)
Souder sur cette extrémité (-) dénudée un fil de cuivre émaillé de 10/10?me,
long. 70cm, dont l'autre extrémité (dénudée sur 2cm) sera collée ? la bande
aluminium du Lifter au scotch fin 17) La tétine surélevée sera placée ?
l'opposé de la base (30cm) 18) Souder un fil émaillé 10/10?me de 70cm sur
l'électrode de la tétine, l'autre extrémité sera soudée au fil Corona du Lifter
19) Avant essai, débarrasser la table et la base de travail 21) Amener
la prise d'alimentation secteur du moniteur vers une nourrice avec interrupteur
afin de pouvoir mettre sous et hors tension le syst?me tout en restant éloigné
d'au moins 1m minimum 22) Le lieu d'expérience ne doit pas ?tre
humide 23) Tenir les éventuels observateurs ? 3m minimum 24) décollage !
25) Apr?s mise hors tension du moniteur, toujours décharger la THT avec la
pointe de touche (-) en la mettant en contact avec la soudure sur la tétine (+).
Ne jamais toucher le Lifter avant de décharger la THT 26) Réjouissez-vous,
mais Prudence ! Toujours..
ATTENTION !!!, Faites preuve d'une
extr?me prudence , Vous manipulez ici de la
Haute-Tension , TOUJOURS
arr?ter puis déconnecter votre
appareil ( le moniteur ) et décharger la
sortie Haute Tension ? travers une résistance de 10Kohms/2W avant toute
manipulation. . Les plans et les conseils présentés ici, ne
sont pas destinés ? des débutants . Vous devrez procéder avec soin
et prudence et avoir l'habitude de manipuler de la Haute-Tension avant
d'envisager une telle expérience ! Si vous décider de réaliser cette
expérience, ceci est ? votre propre risque et je décline toute
responsabilité en ce qui concerne les éventuels dommages matériels ou
physiques causés.

Greetings to you! Have a happy New Year, " without
gravity " I have enclosed an explanatory document on how to use the high
voltage from a monitor to supply power to a Lifter. Be cautious around
high voltage! Share your experiences. Cordial greetings, Claude
Dupré Some advices for
providing power to a Lifter : It is very simple
to obtain high voltage from a monitor, but it is necessary to take certain
precautions. The total power delivered by the HV circuit of a monitor is not
fatal, but the human heart does not appreciate such a shock. & nbsp; Therefore it
is safer to place two holes in the monitor and close the cover before using..
It is also a good idea to affix a label marked " DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE " 1)
Make sure that the monitor delivers at least 25KV at 20W (see plate) 2)
Remove the rear cover of the monitor 3) The - : this is the braid or mount
that surrounds the picture tube 4) The + : this is the rubber nipple that
attaches to the picture tube. & nbsp;[ Squeeze the rubber nipple with your fingers
or a pair of pliers to remove it from the picture tube. & nbsp; Make sure the
monitor has been turned off for at least a day before attempting this.] 5)
Make 2 notches on opposite sides of the cover.. one on the left and the other
on the right, (10 mm x 5 mm) about 10 cm from the bottom, at the junction of the
cover in back and screen in front. 6) Solder two 2 m [7'] pieces of well
insulated wire to the braid (-) surrounding the picture tube, and run them out
one of the notches. & nbsp; [These will be the ground wires.] & nbsp; Here the wire
diameter is not critical.. 0.1 or 0.2 mm [38 or 32 AWG] is fine. 7) Run the
wire with the rubber nipple (+) out the other side. 8) Close the cover,
making sure the wires run through the notches on either side 9) The wire can
simply rest on the work surface. 10) Cut and strip the wire (+), 5 cm from
the rubber nipple and put a 250 K Ohm 3W power resistor (or equivalent) in line,
(to avoid frying the HV circuitry in case of a short circuit). 11) Insulate
the wires and resistor(s) with 4 or 5 layers of orange Scotch tape of the type
used to install fibreglas insulation. 12) Attach the rubber nipple to a very
stable support, raising it to a height of 50 cm. (I used a bottle filled with
sand and a length of 16 mm PVC electric insulation tube [plastic electrical
conduit]) 13) Make a 80x80 cm work surface for flying the Lifter, using
white [surfaced] chipboard, 15 to 22 mm [1/2 " to 3/4 " ] thick (make sure the wood
is dry, not damp) 14) Strip (3 mm) of insulation from the end of one of the
ground wires (-) and tin it [with solder]. Tape it to one of the sides of the
work surface. 15) The end of the other ground wire (-) is to be connected to
a well isolated discharge probe, which is to be kept away from all other
conductors, objects or humans (it will serve to discharge the high voltage after
each use). 16) Strip the end of this wire (-) and solder it to the end of 70
cm length of 0.1 mm [38 AWG] insulated copper magnet wire. & nbsp; Remove 2 cm of
insulation from the other end of the wire. & nbsp; This end is to be taped to the
aluminum plate of the Lifter using ordinary Scotch tape. 17) The elevated
rubber nipple is to be placed on the opposite side of the work surface (30 cm)
18) Solder a 70 cm length of 0.1 mm [38 AWG] enameled copper magnet wire to
the electrode inside the rubber nipple. & nbsp; The other end is to be soldered to
the Lifter corona wire. 19) Before testing, remove everything from the table
and the work surface. 21) Provide switched (mains) power to the
monitor. & nbsp; It is important to be able to turn off the power while remaining
at least 1 m [3'] from the high voltage. 22) The test location must not be
humid 23) Make sure casual observers are kept back a minimum of 3 m
[10']. 24) Launch! 25) After switching off the power to the monitor,
always discharge the high voltage with discharge probe (-) by placing it in
contact with the electrode inside the rubber nipple (+). Never touch the Lifter
before discharging the high voltage. 26) Enjoy, but Keep safe.
BE CAREFUL, USE EXTREME
CAUTION !!! , this device use High
Voltage , ALWAYS switch off the input and discharge
the output to the ground through 10k/2W
resistor before touch it. These plans
are not intended for the inexperienced . User of this document should
be very carefull and experienced in High-Voltage electronics to try
anything out ! If you do it the risk of any results is just yours. I take
no responsibility of anything that might
happen.

Hi Lifters!
Applied Electrogravitics strikes again with the new, unbelievable and
exotic 6-foot (2-Meters!) Beamship Variation III. Just look at the photos! I
almost would not have believed something so big and heavy could degravitate with
such astounding upward force with such low power!
It is SO impressive and awesome in flight; the pics and video don't
do it justice. This technology CAN be scaled up with no limit yet in
sight! Except now, to build larger Beamship series electric spacecraft,
Applied Electrogravitics is forced to find larger facilities. Say, an abandoned
aircraft hangar in SE Pennsylvania (TT Brown Territory).
Beamship is equipped with full space-frames, SEARL IGV-style landing
gear (they are designed to/can support Searl's multi-ton IGVs), uncovered saucer
framework. This is my favorite spaceship yet, and, its much quieter. Looks real
impressive on floor and in flight! Full frames and cabin, ready for covering
with mylar, etc.

humidity: 68 % date: sunday, May 12th Timestamp: & nbsp; & nbsp; 1:55
pm EDT Beamship is weightless at: 30,000 Volts straight DC @ .85 mA
current. That's about 25.5
Watts.
Beamship Variation III is in a stable neutral hover 4 1/2 feet off
the lab floor at: 35,000 Volts (35KV) @ 1.35 mA current. That's 47.25 Watts for
a 2-meters (largest ever in the world - call Guinness), 6-foot wide scale model
electric spacecraft. Still has plenty of upward thrust at full power.
Will test for payload, but my best guess is 4-5 grams payload at
1.5mA @ 37KV.
The bar has been raised, and Applied Electrogravitics adds yet an
even larger and better Beamship to its rapidly growing space-fleet. This is a
nice size for onboard power and radio control. Look at my single-channel
outboard RC, hooked up to power supply. Not much, but its a start.. just neet
to add 3-more channels for full RC. Ciao, fellow space-lifters, we are in the
final space age..

#3 : FULL
STEERING OF THE VTOL LIFTER-CRAFT WITH A CONTROL PANEL
The purpose of this project is to test
a new VTOL prototype which uses the Lifter technology .
An aircraft equipped with an electrokinetic system of
propulsion based on the system of Townsend Brown has many very interesting
characteristics, like :
- Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) capabilities, -
a reduced aerodynamic drag, - an increase in its flight time and thus in its
operating range, - an absence of mobile control surfaces (ailerons, rudder,
elevator ) and thus no reflective mobile surface to the radar waves, - a
high maneuvrability (an adaptive flight envelope ) due to an intelligent control
of the laminar flow, - a full silent flight, - a quasi null thermal
signature, - the use of an electric power generator and thus no fuel is
required, - the electromagnetic waves scattering and stealth capabilities..
The Lifter-Craft MkIII uses 3
independent EKP thrusters placed around the cockpit ( front, rear left, rear
right ). These 3 EKP thrusters will be used for maneuvering the craft as an
helicopter but without moving parts and silently..
The VTOL Lifter-Craft MkIII is 600 mm wingspan
and 700 mm length.

TEST #1 : HOVERING TEST with the 3 EKP thrusters in
parallel
When the HV Power supply is switched
on, the VTOL Lifter-Craft goes upward quickly and remains very stable,
maintained on the table with 3 thin nylon threads to
avoid that it escapes to the ceiling..

TEST
#2 :
STEERING
TEST with the EKP thrusters
powered separately
The three EKP thrusters are powered seperately by
3 THT power supplies from 3 old PC monitors. Theses THT outputs are weaker
than the previous THT power supply used for the TEST #1.
PITCHING LEFT : The rear
left EKP thruster is OFF
PITCHING RIGHT : The rear
right EKP thruster is OFF
FORWARD TRANSLATION : The
front EKP thruster is OFF
Comments :
This experiment demonstrates that it is fully possible to steer the flight of a
VTOL Lifter-Craft.

TEST
#3 :
FULL
STEERING
WITH A CONTROL
PANEL
After the encouraging results
of the previous steering tests of the VTOL Lifter-Craft ( see the TEST #2 above
), I was fully confident that it was now possible to improve the principle. In
the previous test, I had used three independant HV power supplies for checking
the working principle. Now in this test, I have decided to use
only one power supply, so I have used
my High Power HV tunable power supply which is able to give me up to 50 KV at 6
mA. I have built a special control panel with 3 buttons, there are the Forward
button (F), the pitch Left button ( L), the pitch Right button (R), as shown in
the photo below.
In front of the picture you may see the main
control panel for steering the VTOL Lifter-Craft. The High Voltage level for
each EKP thruster has been tuned so has to get a stable hovering when the F, R,
L buttons are switched ON.
FORWARD TRANSLATION : The
HV of the forward EKP thruster is reduced ( the F button is switched OFF
)
PITCHING RIGHT : The HV
of the rear right EKP thruster is reduced ( the R button is switched OFF
)
PITCHING LEFT : The HV of
the rear left EKP thruster is reduced ( the L button is switched OFF
)
As you will notice in the VIDEO
below, the VTOL Lifter-Craft is highly maneuvrable and its steering is
easy.

Comments from Jean-Louis Naudin :
These very encouraging and impressive tests results have confirmed to me that is
now possible to build a real and fully steerable VTOL Lifter-Craft. The next
step aims at building a mockup of VTOL UAV using this technology..

& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; Extraordinary new potential
for our world exists in a revolutionary and patented
new propulsion technology that may soon enable true
interstellar travel — an all-electric
reactionless space drive which is
technically capable of breaking the light barrier!! And this
StarDrive device , in a
somewhat simplified form, could actually be utilized
now for electric power
generation on a commercial scale more efficiently and
economically than virtually any other method
known! & nbsp; the StarDrive
device : Students, & nbsp; space
science buffs, and Star Trek physics fans alike may be
thrilled to know our book StarDrive Engineering
reveals and confirms that an exotic new all-electric
aerospace vessel is now achievable, using just a
number of commonplace late 20 th century
technologies, as is an over-unity
electronic dynamo of similar design that
will produce abundant, clean and inexpensive electric power!
An actual full set of primary systems hardware
specifications is included for just such a machine
— one which could realistically achieve very -near-light
speed and perhaps be made to induce a stable metric space
warp, thereby opening a whole new era in deep space
exploration! & nbsp; StarDrive
Engineering may only be purchased via this
website at the great first-run price below * for a
limited time, and is not currently available in
bookstores. While certain parts of this unique and impressive
8 1/2 " x11 " 441-page volume can
be fairly technical in nature, and might not be considered
" light " reading, it has been skillfully written to appeal to
the broadest possible audience. It tells the intriguing
true story of one man's longtime search for a provable faster-than-light electric
drive — given only the obscure but
classically-valid clues found in certain of the 'best' UFO
legends as the initial inspiration . .

an Electrodynamic
Field Generator : & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; The official name of the StarDrive
'Electronic Dynamo', per the several issued U.S. and
international Patents, is " Electrodynamic Field Generator " .
The EDF Generator uses banks of permanent
magnets and rotating field coils to produce a very-high DC
rotor voltage, and plane-parallel
ring electrode arrays to electrostatically expand and control
that voltage as applied to the outer hull , so
that huge quantities of external Field envelope electrons will
self-accelerate around it to energy levels usually reached
only with a particle accelerator! It's rather like a glorified
arc welder whose output is deliberately shorted to its own
casing, and the DC voltage and current across the emitter
ring and collector housing sections can be thermionically
elevated to lightning-like values – but the uniform Field envelope current
density is limited to a value that falls just short
of damaging the hull!

Field configuration , showing the crossed electric
& amp; magnetic force vectors which enable a StarDrive
vessel's metric warp field
generator capability at extreme relativistic
velocity.
& nbsp; & nbsp; As illustrated above, electrons
impelled along the radial electric field
vectors indicated in blue can reach an impact velocity
at the central collector sections which is very nearly that of
light, and applied axial magnetic fields
(as shown in green) allow broad modulation of the Drive
Field current's properties. The
Primary Arrays shown in the schematic diagram below have
control grids which allow an electrical resistance imbalance
to be imparted to two otherwise-symmetrical opposed Field
hemi-currents, thus they can make the two relativistic current impulses
variably non-isometric: thereby
yielding thrust that is
essentially reactionless ! & #916; And, a StarDrive device's simple
DC " Primary Power System " is entirely disc-rotor-based ,
very like the early FARADAY DISK DYNAMO . .
. & nbsp; & nbsp; & #916; Note !: The
term " reactionless " as used
herein does not mean
the absence of inertial force on an accelerated
body, & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; but rather the application of
accelerative force upon an inertial body by means other
than the rocket principle!
& nbsp; generalized
cutaway depicting half of the EDF Generator's
radial " primary power system " and
housing & nbsp; & nbsp; Needless to say, tremendous quantities
of heat are produced in a StarDrive device's electron
'targets' or collector housing sections, and liquid sodium
must be pumped through each Primary Array's ceramic resistor
network as a coolant. However, this excess heat in smaller ground-based units may be
used in the commercial generation of electric
power and desalinization of seawater . In fact, because an electric discharge field has
the unique capacity to absorb vast amounts of quantum background
energy , the EDF Generator
is so efficient that the latter task may become truly
cost-effective for the first time! & nbsp; ››› The
largest over-unity StarDrive Dynamos will be able to
produce electrical power continuously at 60 to
720 MW output levels, without requiring normal " fuel " of any
kind, and their permanent magnet banks will never need
to be remagnetized! The only operator input energy
required during their entire in-service
lifetime is that initially needed to bring
the rotor up to speed . . .
Those of you
who find this advanced technological prospect for our future
in the 21 st century as exciting and fascinating as
we do should take this opportunity to make StarDrive Engineering a
valuable addition to your personal or reference library.

Electrodynamic Field Generator design. As told from a
science officer's perspective, this narrative not only points
out how comprehensive the specifications methodology is for
actual starship systems and hardware, but also explains the
proper method of ' warp jump sequence computation' by
generating accurate time-and-velocity mission profiles
for Alpha Centauri A as well as Tau Ceti! & nbsp; & lt; & gt; In
June of 2002, U.S. Patent

the Europeans distilled a pdf copy for the EDF Generator's PCT (International) Patent

design is essentially identical to that of the famous 'Levity

Publisher's Note : & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; Some of the people who
visit this website might be left still wondering
whether the StarDrive device as presented herein actually
represents a real and viable technology or if it's merely
another abstract theoretical proposal in speculative
engineering. The fact is that StarDrive Engineering represents
a triumph of scientific logic and mathematics that is
virtually unimpeachable in the way it fulfills its inherent
objective : to provide the world with irrefutable proof
that real all-electric light-speed
starships can be built today using existing technology , and a complete
set of basic specifications and instructions for doing just
that! & nbsp; & nbsp; It isn't possible here to describe the
wealth of interdisciplinary reference material and
problem-solving guidelines that are also included in this
one-of-a-kind book, which will be truly appreciated by serious
students and science enthusiasts of all ages. However, the

Dear Jean Louis and All, & nbsp;
& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp;
I've successfully completed the Lifter1 replication.
I've used a HV power supply designed by myself that worked well for the lifter1,
but needs to be perfected, since it produces pulse instead of the sinusoidal
waves. The pulses period is around 35 uSecs, and the width is around
6uSecs. (See the attached schematic). I
was not able to measure the voltage, but I estimate it to be in excess of 40K,
since sometimes sparks were able to jump from de wire to the metallic foil.
(really very big sparks). You can see in the schematic, that I've used the mains
outlet as power source. This is rather unconventional approach, but worked
fine. & nbsp;It produced 170 VDC, rooted to the flyback primary through a
220 & nbsp;ohms 5W resistor. The BU208A run cool all time long, as well
as & nbsp;the 220 ohms & nbsp;resistor. The 10K & nbsp;potentiometer is fundamental to
adjust the point of operation of the BU-208A. & nbsp;
In spite of the very fast pulses, the lifter1 was
able to fly, although a bit instable. I've repeated the simple tests for ion
wind, and concluded that it is not the main reason for lift.

Best regards, Joao Andrade & nbsp;
The & nbsp;measured HVPS's
waveform.
Note from Joao
Andrade : Using a digital ammeter,
I've measured 250uA. This would give us 7.5W at 30KV.
Note from Jean-Louis Naudin :
Be carefull , this
power supply is connected directly to the power grid, so I recommend strongly to
use an insulation transformer between the Power Grid and the HVPS.

Hi Jean-Louis, I've successfully replicated the Lifter1 -
thanks for your instructional web pages! I've put together a web page at
http://www.zikzak.com.au/zik/lifter/
describing my experiences. Feel free to reproduce the photos from there if you
like. There's also a rather poor quality MPEG video. Next I'm going to
look at making a lightweight AC power supply suitable for use with a flying
model. I'm also interested in trying to detect mass loss or positive charging in
a closed system to attempt to verify that electrons are acting as reaction
mass. Zik Saleeba Melbourne, Australia
Instructions on how it
was built are given at " How to build and replicate yourself the
Lifter1 Experiment " . Many
thanks to Jean-Louis Naudin for all the effort he's put into his web site. The
separation between anode and cathode was set at 27.5mm for this experiment,
which may have been a little low for the 50% humidity conditions at the time
since some arcing was experienced during the runs.
It really is as simple
as it looks, by the way. It's just a light balsa wood frame with a wire around
the top and some alfoil around the bottom. I carefully rounded the top edge of
the foil part since this is meant to improve performance. Total weight was under
10g, lower than I could accurately measure with the scales I had on
hand.
The apparatus is pretty
simple. The electronic device on the left is an old computer monitor. I've taken
the high-tension line off the CRT for use as a 27.5kV DC power supply. The wine
bottle is just a support for the high tension line so it doesn't get tangled
with the earth line. Believe me it sizzles nastily when that happens ;)
The lifter is attached
to the table with three short tethers - in my case short lengths of dental
floss. These tethers are just to prevent the thing going crazy, flying out of
the room and terrorising the neighborhood :) Or at least to stop it zooming
upward and getting its wires in a tangle.
High voltages are bad.
Despite being very cautious, I managed to make many long sparks in the course of
this experiment. I strongly recommend that you understand high voltage safety
before attempting this experiment yourself.
So what happens when
you turn the power on?
As soon as the power
was switched on the device lifted straight off the table. It moved very quickly,
accelerating until it hit the end of its tethers. It lurched drunkenly around at
the top of its travel for a couple of seconds until it sparked brightly on the
left hand side and I switched it back off.
The performance of the
lifter was impressive. There's no doubt that a strong thrust was being produced
- it lifted very rapidly and would have kept going except for the tethers
holding it down. Making a thruster strong enough to carry its own power supply
would be difficult, but if it could be achieved the device would just keep
heading up until it ran out of power - if it didn't run out of power it would
presumably keep going until it escaped Earth's gravity entirely and started
accelerating off into space at greater than 1g acceleration.

Two identical tubular lifters were
constructed. & nbsp; The only difference between the two being that
one had a foil skirt, and one was tubes only. & nbsp; & nbsp; Both
lifters had exactly the same grams-lift/watt ratio of 16gm at
73Kv-1.5ma. Grammatica italiana pdf. & nbsp; The foil tubes were not fastened to the balsa
frame. & nbsp; With the tubes hung loosely on the frame it easily
confirmed that the lift was being produced by the aluminum being
pulled upward.

Note from Jean- Louis
Naudin : Congratulations to Greg Vizza and
to Francis Daran, there experiment proves definitely that the main Lifter
thrust is the result of an upward force of the aluminum armature towards
the virtual armature generated by the wires.

Dear Jean Louis Naudin , & nbsp;
Thank you so much for sharing your work with us. I really admire
the work you are doing and I encourage all lifter builders to continue this work
which I believe has a briliant future. I am an electronic engineer
student from Colombia- South America. About one month ago I was looking
for an electro-magnetism science project on internet when I was brought to your
page. As soon as I saw the lifters I knew that this was the project I was
looking for, I have always been amazed by levitation so I read all your page and
watched all your videos (..now.. I switch on the power supply..) and all the
information I could about the lifters and after that I followed the plans for
the lifter1. It took me 4 days of continuous work (only two hours of sleep
between days) to get my first lifter to work moderately stable. Since then, I
have continued to experiment with this amazing device and I have now built more
than 25 lifters.
I have spent so much time building and testing that I had not taken the time
to publish them on your page. Many of them have been damaged, but today I just
finished one that surpasses all previous ones by far, so I tought it would be a
good time to share my work with all the lifter enthusiast. I named it B-2
Stealth Lifter (made it thinking in the B-2 bomber plane). It took me 10 hours
to build it and lots of patience. When I was about to finish, it was too heavy
(compared to my previous ones) that I tought it was not going to fly, but to my
surprise, when I turned on the power it flew so fast that it lost one of the
theters and crashed into a furniture next to it. I couldnt believe how good it
was working. I set it again and it flew very stable at about 1 meter high !
(sure it goes higher, but the landing was so hard I was afraid it would get
damaged, plus didn't want it to fly into my face) . It flies very quiet and you
can feel it has lots of thrust. I am attaching some pictures, a video,
and some info. I will borrow a megapixel digital camera to send you some better
pictures (mine is 640x480). If any one wants more information I will be very
happy to help. I have not measured its weight, but it can carry a door
key that I had previously measured at university labs to be 9.23 g + the key
holder metallic ring which weights 2.03g. I will let you know when I do
some more testing with it. I am now building an oscillator to make the landing
and take off more smooth. Thank you again and thaks to the people for
sharing their ideas in this page which were very helpful. To
new lifter builders : If you plan to build
your first lifter, this are some advices which I found very helpful. 1)
Get the thinest wire you can, it works better. I got mine from an old alarm
clock. It has a coil in it that works great. 2) Use the thinest balsa wood
you can get. 3) Secure the negative wire to the aluminum foil very good. I
cut a little square and I pass the eire through it severeal times in and out,
then I glue this square to the lifter foil. this way the wire makes better
contact. sorry for not including pics right now, I will do later. 4) Roll the
top of the foil and leave the bottom straight. 5) Get a lot of patience!!
Good Luck!! Juan Camilo Molina E. ( Colombia ) juandmo@epm.net.co

The Lifter is an asymmetrical
capacitor which uses High Voltage ( & gt; 20KV ) to produce a thrust.
The Lifter uses the Biefeld-Brown effect discovered by
Thomas Townsend Brown in 1928. The basic design of the Lifter
has been fully described in the Townsend Brown US Patent N°2949550 filed on Aug 16, 1960 and titled
" Elektrokinetic Apparatus " , you will find in this patent the full
description of the main principle used in the Lifter devices
: & lt; & lt; It is therefore an object of my invention to
provide an apparatus for converting the energy of an electrical potential
directly into a mechanical force suitable for causing relative motion between a
structure and the surrounding medium. It is another object of this invention to
provide a novel apparatus for converting and electrical potential directly to
usable kinetic energy. It is another object of this invention to provide a
novel apparatus for converting electrostatic energy directly into kinetic
energy. It is another object of this invention to provide a vehicle motivated
by electrostatic energy without the use of moving parts. It is still another
object of this invention to provide a self- propelled vehicle without moving
parts. It is a feature of my invention to provide an apparatus for producing
relative motion between a structure and the surrounding medium which apparatus
includes a pair of electrodes of appropriate form held in fixed spaced relation
to each other and immersed in a dielectric medium and oppositely charged. It is
another feature of my invention to provide apparatus which includes a body
defining one electrode, another separate electrode supported in fixed spaced
relation by said body, and a source of high electrical potential connected
between the body and the separate electrode. & gt; & gt; ( Extract
from US Patent N°2949550 filed on Aug 16, 1960 titled " Elektrokinetic Apparatus "
)
On October 5, 2000, the Hector Serrano's patent
WO 00/58623 " Propulsion device and method employing
electric fields for producing thrust
" has been
granted. This patent is very close to the Aymmetrical Capacitor Thruster ( ACT )
patented by the NASA ( patent US 6,317,310 , granted on Nov 2001 ) . These two devices use the
Biefeld-Brown Effect for producing a thrust Vs the surrounding medium ( this
effect was discovered by Townsend Brown in 1928 in his Gravitator, see the
GB Patent N°300311 filed on Nov 15, 1928 " A method of and an apparatus or machine for producing force or
motion " from T.Townsend Brown ).
On June 2001, Transdimensional
Technologies has presented the
Power 3
Lifter1
and Lifter2 devices. The
Lifter1 device was built with three
capacitors joined so as to form a triangle assembly and the
Lifter2 is three time heavier and
three time bigger than the Lifter1 .
These devices are able to lift their own weight and they are a " modern version "
of the Townsend Brown Electrokinetic Apparatus. The Lifters are using the
Biefeld-Brown Effect to generate the main thrust to self
levitate.
On October 2001, I have replicated successfully the Transdimensional
Power 3 Lifter1
and Lifter2 .
You will also find the full explanations to build yourself your
own Lifter1 .
On November 13, 2001, the NASA patent
US 6,317,310 " Apparatus and Method for generating a
thrust using a two dimensional asymmetrical capacitor module
" has been granted. On the
NASA TechFinder web site ( Public Release Date : Nov 6, 2001 ),
we can read : & lt; & lt; Objective : NASA
scientists have discovered a method for generating thrust from two dimensional
asymmetrical capacitor modules. The results are potentially greater efficiencies
and improved reliability over currently available electric thrusters. Description : In the past,
inductive technology has been needed to create thrust, rotational motion, or
step an actuator using electricity. This new technology accomplishes these tasks
and more by using high potential, low current asymmetrical capacitor modules.
The dielectric material of a capacitor under high voltage experiences a force.
Based on the geometry of the capacitor, its material properties, and ambient
conditions, the force can be predicted and utilized to move the entire capacitor
and its mounting in a predictable direction. It had been theorized that thrust
generation from this phenomenon was feasible, but no working prototypes had been
developed, until now. & gt; & gt; ( Click here to read the full document )
On November 18, 2001, I have fully replicated and tested
successfully the NASA Two
Dimensional Asymmetrical Capacitor Thruster experiment.
On January 19, 2002, I have fully replicated and tested
successfully the Electric Field Propulsion
Thruster patented by Hector Serrano
from Gravitec Inc .
Recently, the two new NASA
patents based on the Biefeld-Brown effect has been granted
US2002012221 & nbsp; on January 31, 2002 and
US6411493 & nbsp; on June 25, 2002.
On March 10th, 2002, I have fully replicated and tested
successfully the NASA
Orbital Maneuvering Propellantless Truster v1.0 described in the patent application US2002012221 " Apparatus and Method for generating a
thrust using a two dimensional asymmetrical capacitor module
" .
The Lifter is not a simple ionic wind device as
Seversky's Ionocraft or as the Hagen's Flying apparatus. The Lifter uses a
special asymmetrical capacitor geometry to produce an asymmetrical flow of EM
energy around itself. The Biefeld-Brown Effect has been tested successfully in
vacuum at 10e-5 torr by the Purdue University - Energy Conversion
Lab with accurate and deep measurements
in Sep 2000. These tests have fully demonstrated that the ionic wind is not the
source of the main thrust.. Today, after some deep investigations and many
experiments, I am really convinced that this technology is worth to be
developped. In atmospherical environment the major upward thrust is provided by
an electrokinetic effect on the medium ( air ), but there is also a minor thrust
( not yet fully explained ) in vacuum which can't be explained by a simple ion
wind effect, this residual thrust ( in a milli-Newton range ) can be used in
deep space for space propulsion ..
More than 100 Lifter replications have been done
successfully by many experimenters and physicists Worldwide ( see
The Worldwide Lifters replications logbook
) .
On November 12th, 2002, I have fully demonstrated with
the Lifter " Maximus "
experiment, that a Lifter can be scaled up and also that such a device is able
to lift up to 60 g of payload ( total weight : 194 g ). It is now possible to
build a VTOL craft which will use the Biefeld-Brown effect to fly silently and
without moving parts ( see VTOL
Lifter-Craft Mk III ) only powered by
electrical energy..
The Lifter has been fully tested
by the [dstl], a part of the British Ministry of Defence

The NASA PATENT : US6411493 & nbsp; granted on June 25, 2002
Field of Invention : The present invention
relates to methods and apparatus which use capacitors charged to high
potentials for generating thrust and, more particularly, to an improved
apparatus using a two dimensional, asymmetrical capacitor to which a high
potential is applied. .. Although the asymmetrical capacitor
module described in the preceding paragraph has worked well in the
laboratory, one potential disadvantage or limitation thereof is that there
is some tendency to arcing between potential surfaces. More generally,
there is a need to further improve the module construction to enable use
thereof for atmospheric propulsion and for propulsion in
space .

LORENTZ FORCE PROPULSION
SYSTEM
Patent Number: WO02073218 Publication date: September 19th, 2002 Inventor(s):
CAMERON JEFFERY A (US) Applicant(s): TRANSDIMENSIONAL TECHNOLOGIES
(US) Abstract A plurality of
asymmetrical capacitors that develop power in a propulsion system are
disclosed. In one embodiment, the capacitor is constructed so as to have
an elongated rear conductive element to provide a relatively long region
within which electrons drift. in another embodiment, a plurality of
forward emitters are positioned so as to create an ionization region in
front of the capacitor, with a rear conductive element providing a region
within which electrons may drift. In all these capacitors, a leaky
dielectric region separates the forward and rearward conductive elements,
with electron drift through the leaky dielectric generating motive power.
In some instances, this region may simply be an air gap, and in other
instances pure or ultrapure semiconductor materials, i.e. materials that
exhibit both electron mobility and a dielectric constant, may be used. A
plurality of such semiconductor materials are constructed in layers
forming the leaky dielectric region.

Hello.
This is Tony Klose again. I made 6 different versions of
the Lifter 1 & nbsp;and two of them worked. One works really good and the other
justworks a little bit. I have attached some photos of the better one.
& nbsp;
Specifications : & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp;
It has an upper frame of balsa that is 80mm long and
about 1 1/2 mm wide. I cut the balsa from a big strip of it. The tin foil is one
long piece that goes all the way around the craft. The positive electrode is
really thin copper wire that I took out of a regular cord that plugs into the
wall. The TV that I am using is old, but it still gives enough power. I don't
know how many Kilo Volts there are though. The vertical sticks are made of thin
balsa. It is a small lifter but it is really cool. Im going to use it in my
science fair at school. I also don't know what it weighs, but it is very light.
My location is Shawano , Wisconsin. I don' t know & nbsp;
what the latitude and longitude lines are though, but it is in north east
Wisconsin. Well, good luck. I will inform you of any updates.

Best regards, Tony Klose

The Lifter is an asymmetrical
capacitor which uses High Voltage ( & gt; 20KV ) to produce a thrust.
The Lifter works without moving parts, flies silently,
uses only electrical energy and is able to lift its own weight plus an
additional payload. The Lifter uses the Biefeld-Brown effect discovered by
Thomas Townsend Brown in 1928. The basic design of the Lifter
has been fully described in the Townsend Brown US Patent N°2949550 filed on Aug 16, 1960 and titled
" Elektrokinetic Apparatus " , you will find in this patent the full
description of the main principle used in the Lifter devices.
Today, more than 350 Lifter replications have been done
successfully by many experimenters and physicists Worldwide ( see
The Worldwide Lifters replications logbook
) .
On January 22th, 2003, I have fully demonstrated with
the 250 g weight Lifter " Maximus ][ " experiment, that a Lifter can be scaled up and also that such a
device is able to lift 60 g of payload. It is now possible to build a VTOL craft
which will use the Biefeld-Brown effect to fly silently and without moving parts
( see VTOL Lifter-Craft Mk III
) only powered by electrical energy..
The Lifter has been fully
tested by the [dstl], a part of the British Ministry of
Defence

Hi, John Rigg here in Elk WA. USA
On my 4th Lifter I decided to try a electro mechanical control idea to see if
a balance system could be built , so as to remove the 3 tether lines.
I failed in this respect but was able to control the balance of the lifter. I
isolated the 12 outside lifter cells foil sections and brought them to a center
commutator area. I then humg a foil disc that was grounded. The idea was that if
the lifter tipped to the left for example the foil disc pendulum would move
closer to the foil commutator and supply more ground to the lifter cells on the
side that was lowest. This did and does work you can control the outside cells
and use then as balance thrusters, the problem is with the simplistic foil disc
pendulum. It has no damping so it will swing all over the place once placed in
motion, so the lifter looked allot like a childs top just before it falls over.
But again I was able to control the thruster cells and that was the main
goal.
I have attached pictures of the lifter commutator area and a ANAGLYPH picture
(3d, red/blue glasses required) of the ship lifted with the balance control
parts removed and out side cells grounded. NASA uses 3d anaglyphs as I'm sure
you know as it is a good way to show depth, the Mars explorer is a good example,
and moon rock pictures that can be found on the web. There is a link for free
glasses on my site or you can get them at most any comic book shop.

Dear Jean-Louis, our working group was able to replicate the
lifter 1 experinent & nbsp;
succesfully. Details : humidity
38% temperature 20°C High voltage supply is a EHT multiplier(from a
university) with a max. & nbsp;of 50KV pure, not pulsating DC, voltage finetuning,
change of polarity, & nbsp; and scales for the actual OUTPUT voltage and current.
current up to & nbsp; 2,5mA. Device was lifter 1 with adjustable wire and
weight of 3g. The shapes of the top part of the foil were mostly very well
rounded ! wire CuL with 0,16mm diameter The wires from the
high-voltage supply were partially covered by teflon.
Our solution & nbsp;for
adjustable wires. its a blade of straw cut in pieces, glued with & nbsp;
cyanacrylate-gel.
Results : -------- lift-off voltage with
31mm wire distance was 18KV and a current of 250uA lift-off & nbsp; & nbsp;
& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; 25mm & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp;

14KV & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp;
450uA polarity on the wire in all 3 cases was minus ! weak hissing
sound. if you start calculating the lift-off power is between 2,2W/g and
only & nbsp; 1,3W/g .
The results were:
18KV 31mm wire distance and 0,25mA = 1,5W/g
15-16KV 25mm wire distance and 0,25mA = 1,3W/g
14KV 20mm wire distance and 0,47mA = 2,2W/g
polarity minus at the wire and weak hissing sound we used a pure DC
and the values above are mere output taken from the scales of the high-voltage
power-supply. we were suprised, too. our rough estimations about real losses are
another 200uA of the measured currents above. that means a real needed power for
the lift-off are in our best case 250mW per
gramm. Mit freundlichen Gruessen, Stefan

Envoyé via Internet
Hi guys, Today I have tested and confirmed that vertical
stacking works very efficiently, and is quite easy to implement. This is how I
did it: Starting from top is the anode fine wire, then 40mm below is the foil,
following are a number of stacked foils with the same 40mm separation between
them. No wires in between as the sharp lower edge of the foil acts as a fine
wire. Make the top part of each foil as smooth and round as possible and the
lower as sharp as possible.
Connect the positive to the top wire and loop the positive skipping
one foil at a time. Do the same for the negative starting from the top foil and
ending at the lower foil. Preferably you should have an odd number of foils so
as to end up with the highest and lowest foils negative. A 3 stacked basic
lifter lifted 8g whilst a 2 stacked Dupre type lifters (weighing 8g lifted
18g!!, I should add another stack to this, possibly providing about 28g lift or
maybe more. For this lifter I am using 50mm gaps and about 40Kv or a bit
more. Lift is being calculated by adding weights in a plastic container glued in
the centre. Weights used are pieces of thick wire cut to weigh 0.5g each.
Saviour.

This page contains a series of experimental lifters or propulsion
devices that do not use conventional methods for thrust. These lifters are using
the Biefeld-Brown Effect to generate the main thrust to self levitate and are
able to lift their own weight and even additional load. They are a " modern
versions " of the Townsend Brown Electrokinetic Apparatus, which was patented
several years ago and regretably left unoticed at the patent office. A Basic
Lifter cell is composed of three Townsend Brown asymmetrical capacitors joined
so as to form a triangular unit cell assembly. A triangular structure is far
from the optimum shape but due to its simplicity it gives everyone the chance of
trying out for himself the potential of this effect. Our aim is to find the best
design & amp; materials to construct the most powerful unit cell in the smallest
possible space. Please note that these devices use very high voltages ( & gt;30KV)
and experience in handling high voltage is a must. We are not reponsible if you
get killed! All devices have been tested for electromagnetic radiation and found
to radiate much less than a mobile phone.
Hints for a good lifter : Use lightweight
foil - the cheapest kitchen foil works fine Round off horizontal balsa
supports with stanley knife before glueing aluminium Avoid sharp edges
anywhere on foil, or kinks in the wire Use the finest wire for the top anode
wire, preferbly bare or thin coated copper wire Use 40mm leg supports leaving
a separation between the lower foil and the table/floor. Switch off lights
and check for purple plasma glow. Eliminate by smoothing the defective part or
coating with hot glue or araldite. Plasma glow takes off a lot of power that
would be otherwise used as lift. Hear the sound of the lifter carefully. The
sound should be very smooth flowing jet like wind, with no crackling sounds. If
using a monitor or TV ht output you might hear the 20-22khz tone coming out from
the lifter, but not all of us can hear up to this frequency. Note balsa is
highly flammable, and sparks may trigger balls of fire reducing your lifter to
ashes!
2 vertically stacked hexagonal lifter. 1/2 Kinder egg
(0.5g) on top used as container for loads. Air gap between foils is 50-55mm,
foil is 20mm each. Note round smooth edge on top side of foil and sharp edge on
lower side of each foil. Note that leg supports are not decorative, they are
necessary to minimise field effects between the lower edge of the lower foil and
the table, even if used on an insulated base.
Tried to get a better
picture showing the load inside the capsule and the shadow that shows it lifting
(note shadows of its legs. Sorry I am not yet equipped to produce movie files.
Electronic balance
used to measure load which goes in the Kinder capsule
This lifter weighs 11g and lift an additional weight of
19g including weight of container. Top wire and bottom foil are positive
(connected together), the middle foil is negative.
Hexagonal lifter,
lifting the 4 nuts. Lifter secured to table by 3 strings, limiting lift distance
to a few cm. I hate the idea of a lifter falling on my head during the
experiments. You may also note that I have elongated 3 of the lower legs on
this lifter, to obtain better thrust from ground position.

Chers Jean Louis Je reprends contact avec toi afin de dire
que j'ai & nbsp; créé un nouveau type de lifter .
Je l'ai nommé le Keops 1 je te laisse imaginer pourquoi
.. J'ai voulu augmenter la poussée du basic lifter ce qui m'a amené ? créer
cette nouvelle forme .. Keops a décollé hier soir vers 22h30.
Keops utilise les dimensions du basic lifter soit 12 cm de coté
construit une pyramide ? 3 coté fil de cuivre ? 3 cm comme pour le basic. Au
sommet de la pyramide construit une petite boule d'alu connectée au +, secouez
le tout, mettez sous tension et hop IL VOLE !!!!! :-) Voila, j'ai pensé a
cette structure pour que la poussée produite par les 3 cordons converge vers un
point .. J'ai ajouté la sph?re d'alu afin d'augmenter le " stress " en ce
point..
Keops est le basic lifter pour les dimentions
- 3 & nbsp; baguettes de 12 cm pour la base de la pyramide - 3 & nbsp;
baguettes de 12 cm pour les montants de la pyramide - le fil de cuivre est
comme pour le basic lifter ? 3 cm de l'alu - attention comme la forme est
pyramidale le fil de cuivre ne mesure pas 12 cm .
- La base de la pyramide est de 12
cm.
Il y a un fil de cuivre qui fait le tour ?
3 cm comme tu le sais et la boule d'alu, le fil et la boule sont

" Keops1 " tests by JL Naudin - Dec 4,
2001
I have successfully replicated the " Keops1 " from Stéphane
Bernard according to his description above :
Tests results : The Stéphane Bernard's
" Keops1 " Lifter works well. I have noticed that the upward thrust is a bit less
than the Basic Lifter and that the leakage current is more important. The
hovering is less stable than the Basic Lifter due to the change of the center of
gravity caused by the aluminum ball.
Congratulations to Stéphane Bernard for sharing his idea about the
Lifter.

& lt; & lt; Back To
Home Lifter LP1 (Low Power Lifter) - Last Updated 3/28/2002
The information on
this page is intended for educational purposes only, and is not intended
for commercial use.
This Lifter is made of a small aluminum
cylinder, three small drinking straws, and 24 awg copper magnet
wire. The high voltage power supply that I was using should have
been producing 100KV @ 200uA output from 12v input; however, due to
a mistake in the wiring, I was only getting about 12 watts. I
purchased the device online, and you can get it here . NOTE: Always
make sure that your power supply is grounded, and never touch
anything until you have discharged it. MATERIALS: - 1
strip of (household) aluminum foil (42cm X 2.5cm) - 3 (4.5cm)
sections of drinking straws (small straws that come with juice
boxes) - toilet paper roll (for construction only - wrap the
foil around it 3 times to get the shape) - thin copper wire -
tape TEST
RESULTS: When the power is switched on, the device lifts very
fast to almost a centimeter off the table, and floats around
slightly. It stays in the air until the power is switched off. When
the power is switched of, it drops back to the table.
I believe that the weight and/or stiffness of the
attached wires prevents the device from lifting higher. I feel that
with just a little more power, the device would be able to lift the
extra weight of the charging wires. NOTE: I have repeatedly made
sure that the charging wires are not providing any lifting force
(via elasticity).
For me, these results are
very encouraging. I am currently trying to increase the lifting
force using various techniques put forth from the group, such as
folding strips of aluminum foil over the top of the negative
electrode, and attaching a circle of foil to the bottom of the
negative electrode to create a " bucket " shape. I will post the
results of these tests soon.

Major De Seversky's
Ion-Propelled Aircraft
by Hans Fantel
An ion-generated wind will lift and
propel this incredible magic carpet of the future
It was downright spooky. Without a
sound, the peculiar, spiky contraption rose straight up, hovered awhile,
climbed higher. Then it did a few graceful turns, stopped again, and just sat
there silently in midair.
It seemed like levitation --- some trick
to overcome gravity. I could not shake off the feeling that I was attending a
kind of spiritual seance, or maybe a Buck Rogers show, instead of an
engineering demonstration. The eerie scene took place in the big barn like
laboratory of Electron-Atom Inc., research firm in Long Island City, New York,
devoted to the development of a new kind of flying machine. I had been invited
to watch a scale model being put through its paces by remote control. What we
saw was by far the oddest aircraft since the Wright Brothers' motorized
kite.
It had no prop. No jet. No wings. In
fact, it had no moving parts at all looking somewhat like an old-fashioned
bedspring, the rectangular rig is the nearest thing to a magic carpet. It
needs no runway, takes off vertically and is expected to climb as high as 60
miles. It can crawl through the air like a snail, or go faster than a jet.
Nobody yet knows the speed limit.
After a while, I closed my mouth. But
David Yorysh, one of the project engineers, noticed my puzzlement.
" Any questions? " he grinned.
" Yes. What holds it up? "
" Ions, " said Yorysh, as he launched into
an explanation of a wholly new flight concept.
The magic carpet, called the Ionocraft,
flies on pure electricity. It depends specifically on the fundamental
principle of electricity that electric current always flows from negative to
positive, and it uses two basic pieces of equipment to take advantage of this
principle --- tall metal spikes that are installed above an open wire-mesh
grid.
High negative voltage is shot from the
spikes toward the positively charged wire grid, just like negative and
positive poles on an ordinary battery. As the negative charge leaves the spike
arms, it peppers the surrounding air like buckshot, putting a negative charge
on some of the air particles. Such negatively charged air particles are called
ions, and these are attracted downward by the positively charged grid.
" Okay, " I said. " But I still don't see
what holds it up. " " I'm getting to that, " Yorysh assured me as he spelled out
the rest of the Ionocraft principle. In their mad rush from the ion emitter to
the main grid, the ions bump into neutral air molecules-air particles without
electric charge.
The terrific wallop in these collisions
hurls a mass of neutral air down-ward along with ions. When they reach that
air grid, the ions being negative are trapped by positive charge on the grid.
but the grid has no attraction for the neutral air particles that got bumped
along. So the air flows right through the open grid mesh, making a downdraft
beneath the Ionocraft. The contraption rides on this shaft of air, getting
lift just like a helicopter --- by sucking air down from the top.
" Aerodynamically, it works just like a
chopper, " Yorysh summed it up. " But instead of using a rotor and blades, we
create the downward air flow electrically by means of ionic discharge. The
ions act on the air like a man treading water. They just push down. "
The engineers working on Ionocraft are
the first to admit that their present rig is still a long way from any kind of
practical aircraft. The model we saw measures only 1296 square inches and
consists of about $5 worth of balsa wood and aluminum wire. But the principle
holds an important promise for the future of aviation.
The problem now is improving efficiency
--- getting enough lift from a given grid area and a given amount of energy,
Present models cannot yet lift their own electric generators. they get power
through a feeder cable, dangling down like an umbilical cord. Ionocraft
engineers tend to be close-mouthed on performance figures.
But they will tell you that at present
it takes 90 watts (30,000 volts at 3 milliamperes) to fly a two ounce model.
Translated into ordinary power-to-weight ratios, this works out to roughly
0.96 hp. per pound, as compared with a typical 0.1 hp per pound of helicopter
or 0.065 hp for a pound Piper Cub.
But Ionocraft designers are hard at work
upping efficiency. One possible power --- boosting technique is to pulse the
power in short high energy bursts rather than apply steady voltage. They are
also trying out various grid patterns and ion emitter layouts to minimize
energy loss through turbulence in the downdraft.
Despite such unresolved problems, the
development crew almost bristles with optimism, and the most optimistic of all
is the Ionocraft's inventor Major Alexander P. de Seversky. No crackpot, Major
de Seversky is a practical visionary who in many areas has been far in front
of his field.
" We hope to fly a model with
self-contained power, perhaps by the end of the year, " he told me,
confidently.
" Ultimately, the ionic drive will prove
more efficient than either propeller or jet as a method of aircraft
propulsion.
" It will achieve lift at less
expenditure of energy and fuel than existing form of aircraft. In fact, it
will prove the most efficient method of converting electricity into
motion. "
Coming from a man of de Seversky's
background, such a statement has an almost prophetic ring. A leading aircraft
designer and ace flyer for the past 50 years, de Seversky's ideas have often
been ahead of their time-sometimes to the embarrassment of other aviation
experts. Losing his right leg during his first flying mission in World War I
didn't deter him from downing 13 enemy aircraft in later flights. After coming
to the United States from Russia, de Seversky developed bombsights and course
computers during the 1920s that were the forerunners of today's inertial
guidance systems.
Worked with Billy Mitchell
~
Later he pioneered the design of the
cantilever-skin stressed wing that is now in general use. He was consultant to
General Billy Mitchell in the historic airplane-versus-battleship tactical
experiments of the 1920s, and as a special consultant to the U.S. Chiefs of
Staff helped formulate basic air strategy in World War II. He also contributed
to the designs of the P-35 and P-43 which led to the development of the P-47
Thunderbolt, one of America's most effective wartime fighter planes. Now a
trim and sprightly man of 70, he still likes to take out experimental jet
planes for a spin.
" The idea hit me as I was working on an
electric air-cleaning device which I had invented, " the major recalled.
" That gadget was designed to fight air
pollution by electrically charging the particles in industrial smoke and then
trapping them on a liquid electrode with the opposite charge. "
De Seversky noticed an air flow
developing between the two electrodes, caused by ionization process previous
explained.
" To an old flyer like me, " said the
major, " anything that stirs up a wind is a flying machine. So I began to
develop the idea. " The major seemed concerned that the Ionocraft might be
mistaken for a kind of space vehicle.
" This is not a spacecraft, " he explained
emphatically to forestall any misunderstanding. " It's an airplane, designed to
operate within the atmosphere. But it will be able to do things no present
type aircraft can accomplish. "
Pointing out the potential advantage of
Ionocraft over conventional planes or helicopters, de Seversky ticks off a
whole string of radical notions:
High-altitude flight ---
Helicopters whirl their blades in utter frustration at altitudes where the air
gets thin. Beyond 20,000 feet, they get almost no lift. By contrast, experts
calculate that Ionocraft can kick up (rather kick down) enough air to stay
aloft at 300,000 feet.
Unlimited size --- The bigger it
gets the better it flies. Efficiency increases with grid area. Distributing
airflow around the grid edge becomes proportionately less important in larger
craft. The reason:
Grid area increases faster than
circumference with growing size.
" We'll be able to build them as big as a
city block " claimed de Seversky.
High speed --- No practical speed
limit has been determined. The ions themselves flash from emitter to grid
impart to the very high-velocity impulse. Aerodynamic drag would be the chief
speed-limiting factor. But, streamlining of the grid edge and careful
contouring of the craft, could minimize air drag.
Safety --- No moving parts in
propulsion and no wear, means less chance of failure, simpler
maintenance.
Steering with Voltage ~
Steering control is accomplished by
applying different voltages to various parts of the craft. The part with the
high voltage gets more lift, hence tilts up. The form of the Ionocraft does
not matter. Any shape will fly, but de Seversky assumes that round models in
the form of a flying saucer will be the most easily manuverable.
By a simple joystick control, the pilot
can lift any edge of the craft, producing pitch and roll as if the Ionocraft
had elevators and ailerons. He can put the craft into any flight
attitude-noise up or down, or banking to either side. Like the tilt of a
helicopter rotor, this inclination pushes the craft forward, rearward, or
sideways.
J.F. Bruno, the technical director of de
Seversky's staff, spoke of a passenger gondola in future models, suspended
from gimbals below the main grid so that it remains level regardless of how
the main deck is tilted. Locations below the main grid also shields passengers
from high energy flow. But, even if the passengers somehow got into the ion
stream, it wouldn't electrocute them unless they got " grounded " to the main
grid. " It would be just like birds sitting on a wire, " said Yorysh, the man in
charge of electronic design.
Until patents for Ionocraft were firmly
nailed, de Seversky kept his ideas carefully under raps. That's another reason
no full-scale prototype has yet been built. But even present scale models set
the imagination buzzing. Manned craft are envisioned for:
Commuter transport --- With no
size limit, you can pack trainloads of people into this VTOL craft, relieve
traffic congestion around urban centers. The type of craft used as
long-distance transport possibly at supersonic speeds- would not need big
airports with long run ways.
Airborne traffic monitors ---
Hovering above bridges and major intersections, or patrolling above highways,
one-man Ionocraft would provide a panoramic view of traffic conditions, radio
information to ground traffic-control centers.
Grid Is Hard to Hit ~
Military reconnaissance and
rescue --- Without moving parts, the Ionocraft is less vulnerable to
small-arms fire than helicopters. The open grid makes a poor target. Most
bullets would whiz right through it. Even if the grid is hit, the electric
charge would be maintained despite the damage to some portions. Unlike a
copter with shattered blades, the Ionocraft would not crash.
Weather observation --- While
satellites like Tiros look down on the atmosphere from outer space. Ionocraft
could sail right into the weather-making air layers, providing valuable
supplemental information. Being steerable, Ionocraft would not drift with the
wind like weather balloons, but could hold a position over crucial areas,
making local forecasts more reliable.
Skyborne antenna, kept aloft
indefinitely in a fixed position by ground based energy supply. Ionocraft
could also act as a skyborne antenna, extending the range of defense radar.
" It would be like raising the DEW-line 60 miles up into the air, " suggested de
Seversky, " adding 15 to 25 minutes warning time against missiles. "
Anti-missile machine --- Always
alert to military tactics, de Seversky believes that Ionocraft could be used
as missile interceptors. Normally the craft would hover at high altitudes,
scanning the horizon for a 700-mile range. As soon as it spotted and
identified a hostile missile through an infrared detection system, the
Ionocraft would hurl itself at the enemy rocket on a collision course and blow
it out of the air.
When practical craft are built, their
designers expect to have a choice of several power supply systems now under
development for NASA's space program. Some of these include:
Gas-turbine generators ---
Several firms, notably General Electric and Allis-Chalmers, have come up with
compact, light weight, kerosene- fueled turbines, originally intended as power
sources for spacecraft. These may be used to generate electricity aboard
Ionocraft.
Fuel cells --- These are chemical
reactors producing electricity like a storage battery, but drawing their
chemicals from external supply tanks. NASA is currently testing fuel cells
converting hydrogen and oxygen to electricity, with drinking water as a
byproduct.
Solar cells directly convert sunlight to
electricity-the present energy source of most satellites. When high-efficiency
solar cells are available, they may keep Ionocraft aloft for indefinite
periods.
Power From Boiling Mercury
~
Sunflower --- A code name for
another project aimed at deriving electric power directly from sunlight. It
employs an umbrella-like reflector that focuses the sun's heat to boil
mercury, which expands through a turbine and drives an electric generator
(Solar-power supplies would be back-stopped by other kinds of power generators
to take over whenever no sunlight is available.).
Microwave radiation ---
Concentrated beams of high-frequency radio waves may transfer energy from
ground stations to the Ionocraft if the craft is to be used as a hovering
platform in a fixed position. Raytheon has pioneered this type of energy
transmission through its Amplitron tube and has recaptured as much as 72
percent of the radiated energy at the receiver site. High-power laser beams
may be similarly used for transmission.
Experimental hardware has already been
produced for each of these off-beat power-supply systems.
None of the men working on the Ionocraft
will be pinned down to any production timetable. " It's a pretty wild project, "
admitted technical director Bruno, a veteran 20 years in the missile business.
" But that's what they said when we started working on rockets. "
Major de Seversky, whose own career goes
back to the beginnings of aviation, views his invention in historical
perspective:
" We are exploring an entirely new
principle of flight. We're just at the spot where the Wright Brothers were in
1903. We are just beginning to see the possibilities. "
Ion-propulsion is produced when negative
charge from upright arms charges surrounding air particles into ions.
Negatively charged ions rush toward positively charged grid, pushing neutral
air particles before them.
Figure 1 ~ Ions rushing towards
positively-charged grid collide with neutral air molecules and thrust air
downward. Ions stop at grid. Neutral air molecules, whacked downward by ions,
pass through mesh of ion-acceptor grid. Downwash keeps Ionocraft aloft.

This invention relates to improved
heavier-than-air aircraft, and more specifically to structures which are
capable of either hovering or moving in any direction at high altitudes by
means of ionic discharge.
The present invention is an improvement
over well known electrostatic generation of winds used in a novel manner to
supply propulsion and sustenance forces for a heavier-than-air aircraft.
Crafts of the types heroin disclosed having effective areas of several square
feet have been successfully flown and contemplated platforms will inherently
be of large size since the lift force is proportionate to the area through
which large quantities or masses of air are accelerated downwardly from
discharge electrodes to collection electrodes, the latter being a meshed
screen, bars, strips or any other structure that provides maximum collecting
electrode area with perforations, slots or other types of opening to allow the
air to pass through with a minimum of drag. Such a craft will be referred to
in this application as an Ionocraft.
Such Ionocraft may serve as platforms
which would be stationed above the earth for long periods of tinge and serve
other purposes as will be explained below. The output power from microwave
generators, such as magnetrons, coupled with high power capacity amplifier
tubes may be beamed to the Ionocraft while airborne or the craft may carry its
own power supply.
A principal object of the present
invention is to provide a novel Ionocraft with space provided by the
structure, preferably at the center of the craft, for installation of
electronic equipment, and for the power plant, and crew where used.
Another object is to provide a novel
Ionocraft construction wherein lightweight reinforcing members are provided to
form a structure sufficiently rigid to cope with the dynamic and static loads
and to maintain a desired distance between discharge emitting wires and the
collecting grid.
Still another object resides in the
novel configuration and arrangement of the emitting wires to assure uniform
spacing from the collecting grid and to provide a maximum number of ionised
particles for producing the desired lift.
A further object is to provide an
improved Ionocraft of the foregoing type wherein some structural formation
such as dihedral is provided for stabilising the craft during flight. The
dihedral may be positive or negative depending upon whether the hovering
flight or horizontal motion of aircraft is a primary consideration of
performance of the craft. A multiple deck structure may be used where desired
to increase the lifting force, and dihedral may be provided in two or more
angularly related directions to provide stability in all directions. A conical
shape with the apex or nadir at the top or bottom center may also be
advantageously used.
Still another object is to provide
auxiliary ionic discharge structures mounted for relational movement which are
oriented to provide a horizontal propelling force and steering forces which
can change the direction of the craft. By mounting such auxiliary structures
to turn about a vertical axis, the craft can be made to turn in a horizontal
plane about a vertical axis passing through the craft to thereby provide a
scanning or target searching apparatus. A similar scanning motion can be
achieved by mounting the auxiliary structures to turn about a horizontal
axis.
A further object of this invention
resides in the provision of a novel stick control using variable electrical
impedances for control of the posture and for manoeuvring the craft through
variation of the voltage applied to different portions of the craft.
A second principal object of the present
invention is to provide a combination Ionocraft and antenna system for radio
frequency energy wherein the structure of the Ionocraft is so arranged as to
serve in whole or in part as a structure of an efficient electromagnetic
antenna system. In accordance with this object of the invention, the device
contains one or more antennas that may be used for communication signal
transmission, for detection, tracking and/or identification and for eventual
destruction through collision of oncoming airborne or space vehicles or
missiles and the like. The Ionocraft structure may be used, for example, as
the main antenna element, as a series of directing or reflecting elements or
as a parasitic element and may be shaped to provide arrays parabolas, corner
reflectors, horns or lenses and be adapted to trans-mit a single or complete
spectrum of frequencies from the extremely low frequencies to the highest
frequencies including infrared.
Another object of this invention is to
provide a com-bination antenna-Ionocraft with scanning means for detecting
and/or tracking airborne vehicles or missiles. Such combination may also
include suitable servo-control and other conventional equipment either on the
Ionocraft or at a nearby ground station for causing the Ionocraft to " lock-on "
automatically and/or be guided into the path of an " oncoming " vehicle or
missile.
A further object is to provide an
antenna which constantly locks on a radiation beam, such as a microwave or
light beam for example, projected from the ground or from an aircraft in
flight to change the position of the Ionocraft in flight.
These and other objects of the invention

Referring now to the drawings, FIGURES 1
and 2 & nbsp; are plan and elevation views of a typical basic embodiment of my
improved Ionocraft 10. The Ionocraft proper comprises a plurality of emitting
electrode wires 12 mounted above and in a plan substantially parallel to the
collecting electrode grid 14 which may be composed of a meshed screen, bars,
strips or any other structure that provides maximum effecting collecting
electrode area with perforations, slots or other types of opening to allow the
air to pass through with a minimum of drag. A plurality of hollow, lightweight
rods or bars of conductive material or crossed wires forming a mesh which is
open to pass air downwardly, but with the wires sufficiently closely spaced to
effectively neutralise the charged ions which pass from emitting electrode
wires 12 are preferred structures. A high D.C. voltage is applied between
emitting electrode 12 and collecting electrode 14; one pole of terminal of the
high voltage generator is connected to the emitting electrode 12 and the
opposite pole or terminal of the same generator is connected to the collecting
grid electrode 14, thus creating a high potential field between the
electrodes.
In this form of improved Ionocraft, a
basic structure sufficiently rigid to cope with the dynamic and static loads
and to maintain a desired uniform distance between discharge emitting wires 12
and the collecting grid 14 is utilised comprising an outer square or
rectangular frame composed of members 22, 24, 26, and 28. Diagonal frame
members 30 and 32 extend between opposite corners of the rectangular frame and
a circular frame member 34 is fixed tangentially to the midportions of the
frame members. Sid frame members are coplanar and collecting electrode wires
14 are interwoven, as with a loom, to form a closely meshed wire screen and
supported from frame members 22, 24, 26, and 28. The ends of each wire are
wrapped over and glued to the lower half 26a of the frame member and then cut
off as shown in FIGURE 2A. The upper half 26b of the frame member is then
secured in position as the glue. A considerable improvement in lifting force
was achieved when the frame members and cut ends of the grid wires were
covered with an aluminum foil.
Four lightweight rigid structural
members, 36 and 38, of which two show in FIGURE 2, are mounted beneath the
plane of collecting grid 14 in the vertical planes to diagonal members 30 and
32. Members 36 and 38 meet in a common junction 40 at the center of the
Ionocraft. Four perforate lightweight rigid metal sheets or foils 42 and 44 of
aluminum or the like, of which only two show in FIGURE 2, are mounted between
diagonal members 30, 32, 36 and 38. These foils provide additional
stabilisation against tilting by guiding the air flow vertically along the
surfaces of the foils and have been found to provide and increase in lift
which more than compensates for their weight. Beneath junction 40, a pair of
crossed support members 45 and 46 are provided to serve as a landing support
to hold the craft with the collecting grid 14 above the ground supporting
surface 47 when landed.
The outer ends of emitting wires 12 are
supported from masts 48, 49, 50 and 51 of insulating material mounted on
opposite sides of the craft. In this embodiment, emitting electrode wires 12
pass diagonally across the craft and cross each other near the center. One
terminal of a high voltage D.C. potential is connected to leads 52 which are
connected to masts 48 and 49.
The lower edges of masts 48 and 50 and
of masts 49 and 51 are connected together by tension member 53 (FIGURE 2) such
as a lightweight cable to hold the masts in their vertical position by
providing a force to balance against the tension force of emitting wires
12.
Suitable lead-in wires 54 are provided
for connection between collecting grid 14 and the other terminal of the power
supply, and are preferably at ground potential. Variable impedances, such as
variable width spark gaps which serve to reduce the applied voltage, are
provided in lead-in wires 54 for control of voltage between emitting wires 12
and collecting grid 14 to thereby control the vertical movement of the
craft.
An actual embodiment built in accordance
wit the foregoing descriptions which lifted itself into a self-sustaining
flight had a collecting grid surface area of approximately 150 square inches
and the space between the collecting grid and the emitting wires 12 was
approximately 2 inches. With a craft having the foregoing dimensions, 0.5
milliampere was sufficient to make the craft more than self-sustaining. The
total weight of the structure was approximately 5 grams. Other craft having
the space between the collecting grid and emitting wires of 5 inches have been
successfully flown. Such craft require voltages of the order of 50 to 60 kV.
Where the grid area is about 7 or 8 square feel, currents of the order of 2
milliamperes exist. Variations in humidity and air pressure cause variations
in the current drawn and in the lifting efficiency.
The lifting capability of the craft was
found to increase as the diameter of the grid wires is increased. Crafts were
tested with wire diameter of 2, 5, 8 and 12 mils for the collecting grid. With
wire diameters of 8 mils or more, the current requirement to provide the same
total lifting force shows a detectable decrease thereby indicating a higher
efficiency. Hollow tubular conductors having an outer diameter of one-quarter
inch also give substantially the same lift force and efficiency as the 8 and
12 mil wire diameters.
A modification of the foregoing
structure is shown in FIGURE 3 & nbsp; wherein a central compartment section 60
is provided in the center of a surrounding large area collecting grid 14. A
plurality of rigid support sections 62, each composing an upper member 64, a
lower member 66, and an intermediate foil 68 extend from the corners of the
central section 60 to the periphery of the framework surrounding the
collecting grid 14.
Near each of the corners of the outer
periphery of collecting grid 14 a mast 70 made of insulating material is
provided which supports the outer end of emitting wires 12. A second group of
inner support masts 72 mounted on central section 60 provide support for the
inner ends of emitting wires 12.
In this embodiment, the central
compartment 60 is adapted to house electronic equipment and the power plant
and crew where used.
In practice, it has been found desirable
to increase the lengths of emitting electrode wires by adding a series of
wires 74 which are supported on the main emitting wires 12 and which are
parallel to each other and at a distance approximately equal to the distance
of the emitting wires from the collecting electrode. The outermost wire is
positioned inwardly about one-half the distance between the parallel wires
(i.e., from 1 to 3 inches) from the outer frame members on the collecting grid
to take full advantage of all the ionised particles which are produced. The
radially directed emitting wires 12 are used to electrically connect the
non-intersecting wires 74 together. However, the emitting wires 12 should be
fewer and much less closely spaced than collecting grid wires 14 in order to
avoid electrical symmetry. If the configuration of the emitting electrode
wires 12 and the collecting electrode wires 14 are identical, no lifting force
is provided.
A further embodiment is shown in FIGURE
4 which is identical with the form shown in FIGURE 3 except that the structure
is equipped with positive dihedral for greater stability. Center section 60 is
used as a center load carrying or cabin section and the rigid support sections
are attached thereto so as to tilt upwardly to form a small angle a.
Collecting grids 14 and their associated emitting electrodes 12 on opposite
sides of center section 60 are thus angularly related.
This particular craft, because of its
horizontal symmetry, is well adapted to be equipped with dihedral in the fore
and aft direction as well as in the lateral direction. FIGURE 5 & nbsp;
represents in an exaggerated schematic form and apparatus of this type. In
FIGURE 5, the central section as shown in FIGURE 4 has been omitted and four
collecting grids 14 are of a triangular shape with the inverted apex or nadir
69 of the system at the bottom and center of the apparatus. Separate emitting
wires 12 are mounted from masts 71 supported centrally of the side edges and
at the nadir. Each of the four collecting grids may be insulated from each
other by a gap or insulating material and variable resistance incorporated in
their lead-in connections (not shown) to the power supply. By independently
varying the resistance of the collecting grids the craft, which is here
assumed rigid, may be tilted in any direction.
FIGURES 6 and 7 are top plan and side
elevations views respectively of a further embodiment which has a negative
dihedral. In this embodiment, the collecting grid frame composes four outer
peripheral lightweight wooden or metal members 600, 601, 602 and 603 which are
mounted in a lower plane and four inner members 604, 605, 606 and 607 which
are parallel to the respective outer members but in a plane higher then the
plane containing the outer members. In an embodiment where the outer
peripheral members were three feet long, the vertical distance between the
planes carrying the inner and outer members was four inches. This negative
dihedral has been found to provide greater stability during hovering flight
than the positive dihedral though the positive dihedral appears to provide
equally good stability for horizontal flight.
The collecting grid is divided into four
equal areas by diagonally oriented frame assemblies 608, 609, 610 and 611. The
collecting grid area visible in FIGURE 7 is bounded by rigid frame members 612
and 613 of diagonal frame assemblies 608 and 609 respectively and inner and
outer frame members 604 and 600. The collecting grid, as pointed out above,
may be a crossed grid of wires. The other three collecting grid areas are of
identical size and construction.
Inside of inner frame members 604, 605,
606 and 607, no collecting grid screen is provided and the space may be left
open or if desired, covered with a lightweight foil of insulating or
conducting material. This air-tight foil forms a pocket under which a pressure
appears to build up to provide added lift. The insulation material is
preferred since this does not interfere with the electrical isolation between
the four quadrants of the collecting grid which, as will be pointed out below,
are used for guiding and/or propelling the craft.
Diagonal frame assembly 608 contains
four cross braces 626, 628, 630 and 632 between frame members 612 and 613. The
cross braces are made of an insulating material such as wood to thereby
insulate each of the four grid sections from one another. Frame members 612
and 613 intersect and are secured together above and inwardly behind member
604. Members 614 and 615 also intersect and are secured together, as do
members 616 and 617 and members 618 and 619. These points of intersection are
joined together by four struts 620 shown in FIGURE 6. Secured to the centers
of each of struts 620 is a four-sided chimney 622, each of the sides being
flat sheets of a lightweight insulating material such as wood.
A center frame member 624 is mounted
between the center of cross brace 626 and the top of chimney 622 along each of
the diagonal frame assemblies. This construction gives adequate rigidity to
prevent warpage of the collecting grid frame assembly.
The emitting wires are illustrated
diagrammatically as waving lines and make up a pattern of three parallel wires
640, 641 and 642 and one transverse wire 643 across each grid area. Four
supporting masts 464, 647, 648 and 649 are mounted on cross braces 628 are
secured to center frame member 624 in each of the four diagonal frame
assemblies 608, 609, 610 and 611. Emitting wire 640 is supported on the upper
end of each of masts 646, 647, 648 and 649 with sufficient tautness to be
substantially equidistant from the collecting grid at all points.
Four supporting masts 650, 651, 652 and
653 are mounted to cross braces 630 and center frame members 624 in each of
the four diagonal frame assemblies for supporting emitting wire 641. Four
additional masts (not numbered) are mounted to cross braces 632 and center
frame members 624 to similarly support emitting wire 642.
At the mid-points of each of the outer
frame members 600, 601, 602 and 603, masts 656 are mounted to support the
outer end of emitting wires 643, which extend under and in electrical contact
with each of emitting wires 640, 641 and 642 to a center mast 660 which is
suitably mounted to the top of chimney 622.
On electrical terminal 662 for the
emitting wires is shown on the right side of the craft of FIGURES 6 and 7.
Four individual electrical terminals 664, 665, 666 and 667 are provided for
each of the four grid sections. If it is not desired to control the posture
and movement of the craft by the four separate sections, collecting grid
terminals 664, 665, 666 and 667 may all be connected together.
Also, it is obvious that the four
electrically separate sections could be achieved by using four insulated
emitting wire sections, either with the four separate collecting grid sections
or with all the collecting grid sections connected together.
The foregoing craft weighted about 100
grams and with a 5 inch spacing between the emitting wires and collecting
grid, was self-sustaining with a voltage of about 50 to 60 kV, and a current
on the order of 2 milliamperes.
Instead of using a crossed wire mesh
construction for the collecting grid as shown in detail in FIGURE 1, it has
been found that tubes of conductive material having an outer diameter of about
one-quarter inch are equally as good. Such tubes may be made of aluminum foil
wrapped around paper or may be hollow lightweight aluminum tubing or of a
similar construction. For example, material such as an air tight nylon base
fabric having an evaporated metallic coating of for example aluminum may be
fabricated in the form of tubes having a wall thickness of less then 1 mil and
be adapted to be inflated with air or inert gas to form a hollow lightweight
tubular member. The cross section may be circular, oval or the like; a tear
drop shape as illustrated in FIGURE 8 is a preferred configuration since air
flow across the tapering lower edge provides additional lift. For the craft
configuration as shown in FIGURES 6 and 7, the inflated tubes of FIGURE 8 are
mounted parallel to each other and to the outer and inner frame members 600
and 604, or to their corresponding members in each of the other collecting
grid sections, with their ends secured to the diagonal frame assemblies 608,
609, 610 and 611.
Other emitting electrode constructions
may also be used. For example, emitting wires 640-644 may have suspended from
them a plurality of short wires 680 as shown in FIGURE 9 which provide a point
of discharge rather than a line of discharge to thereby increase the
efficiency of ionisation. In FIGURE 9, only emitting wire 640 and its
supporting masts 646 and 647 from the embodiment shown in FIGURES 6 and 7 are
illustrated. It is to be understood that all of the emitting wires may be of
similar construction to that illustrated in FIGURE 9. Each of wires 680 is
about 1 to 3 or more inches in length and separated at least one inch apart.
The lower ends of wires 680 are kept at a uniform distance from the collecting
grid. This construction may offer some pre-ionisation, though measurements
show this emitting electrode construction to be about comparable to the use of
plain wire as the emitting electrode.
FIGURE 10 illustrates an elevation view,
and FIGURES 11 and 12 illustrate plan views of modified triangular and
rectangular shaped Ionocrafts respectively. The craft of FIGURE 11 is
triangular in config-uration and is provided with emitting wires 12 suitably
supported from masts 48 as illustrated. In practice additional emitting wires
may be used. Collecting grid 14 extends over a large area beneath emitting
wires 12 and may be formed of crossed wires as diagrammatically
illustrated.
The electromagnetic energy antenna
carried by the foregoing Ionocraft embodiments may comprise a series of
generally horizontal, parallel conducting elements or dipoles 70 arranged
along the basic side structure on which the wires 12 and 14 of the craft are
attached. Dipoles 70 may be of differing length so that the antenna provided
may receive or transmit several different frequencies. For frequencies of the
order of 10 megacycles, for example, several dipoles 71, 74 and 76 may be
arranged as a tuned array, such as the yagi array, with one or more dipoles 71
serving as a director, dipole 74 serving as the main antenna element and
dipole 76 serving as a reflector. Such antenna is highly directional and with
an Ionocraft of triangular configuration, the antenna may be used with signal
transmission in three separate directions simultaneously.
The antenna wires 70-76 may be small
diameter rods of a conductive material such as aluminum, supported on
lightweight rods or bars 78 of either a conducting or insulating material, as
dictated by conventional antenna construction techniques. Additional antenna
elements 80, 82 and 84 may be present as metal rods or wires separated
electrically from the adjacent antenna elements by insulators 86 of a suitable
light material such as wood, plastic or the like, indicated on the drawing by
spaces.
The various antenna elements 70-84 and
insulators 86 may comprise a rigid frame forming the basic structure for the
craft and inside of which the collecting grid 14 is supported and upon which
the discharge electrodes 11 are mounted. The antenna elements 70-84 may be
stacked vertically if desired to improve both the efficiency of the antenna
and the rigidity of the basic structure. To the extent that the antenna
elements may be galvanically connected together without interfering with the
operation of the antenna in its conventional manner, the antenna elements are
preferably connected to the same DC potential as collecting grid 14. Thus, the
antenna elements may also augment the operation of the Ionocraft by
neutralising charged ions which provide the propelling force.
In the rectangular embodiment of FIGURE
12, the several antenna dipoles 90 have different lengths so as to be equal to
one half the wave length X of the frequency being transmitted for an entire
spectrum of frequencies having different wave lengths Xx, X2, X3.. Xn. Since
the length of a side of the Ionocraft may be several hundred feet or greater,
such construction is ideally suited for communi-cation systems, whether
operating with high or low frequencies.
With either of the configurations of
FIGURE 11 or FIGURE 12, the view in elevation will be substantially as
illustrated in FIGURE 10 where the particular antenna structure is indicated
schematically and designated by reference numeral 92. A ground station antenna
which is indicated diagrammatically at 94 on FIGURE 10 may be provided for
directing the signals downwardly to the ground station. Antenna 94 may be of
any desired conventional type and connected on the Ionocraft to the main
antenna structure 92 by a suitable transmission line such as coaxial cable,
twin lead lines or hollow pipe wave-guide, depending upon the particular
frequencies utilised. Amplifiers or frequency converters may also be provided
in the transmission line where signal strength is weak. The amplifiers and/or
frequency converters may be powered by well known self-contained batteries or
by the power supply unit for the Ionocraft (not shown).
Referring now to FIGURES 13 and 14, a
further embodiment of the invention is illustrated which has a plurality of
side sections, four of which are shown curved. The contour of the curves may
be parabolic or of any other shape as is conventionally used for antennas in
high frequency systems such as radar or the like. In this embodiment, an
outside frame of lightweight rigid 0.5 members 96, 98, 100 and 102 is provided
to define the contour of the antenna shape. Lightweight wires or rods 104
extend between members 95 and 102 to serve as part of the antenna. Lightweight
sheet metal of a material such as aluminum may be used in lieu of wires 104
for the 30 reflector surface if desired.
A plurality of horns 106 are illustrated
in the drawings to effect simultaneous radar scanning through 360°. By
oscillating the illustrated Ionocraft about its vertical center line through
an angle of only 45° on each side of a center position, complete 360° scanning
may be effected. Alternatively, the Ionocraft may be rotated continuously
about its vertical center line and 360° scanning effected by one or more
antennas. Such scanning may be effected by warped corners, reactive or
propeller blasts of auxiliary power plant, or by auxiliary grids which are
mounted for movement relative to the main lifting grid as will be described
below. Scanning may be effected by other means as will become apparent from
the following description. In lien of or supplemental to some of the microwave
antennas 106, antenna reflectors for infrared detectors may be carried on the
Ionocraft. Such antennas serve to collect the infrared energy over a large
area and focus such energy on a small infrared detector, and they may be of
any conventional construction. The basic structure 10 between spaced antennas
may contain such equipment to transmit via wireless signal channels to the
ground station through ground station antenna 94, signals corresponding to the
electromagnetic and radio frequency signals received. Horizontal movement of
the craft may be effected by the principles set forth in Serial No. 760,390 of
Glenn E.Hagen filed September 11, 1958, by tilting the craft downwardly in the
forward direction whereby the ionic propulsion force provides a horizontal
force component to cause the craft to move in a horizontal direction. Tilting
of the craft may easily be effected through variation of the voltage between
emitting electrodes 12 and collecting grid electrode 14. For example, by
electrically separating the craft into four sections of substantially equal
size as illustrated in FIGURE 15, the voltage applied to two of the adjacent
sections can be reduced by adding resistance in series with the current path
and this will cause the lift produced by these two sections to decrease
relative to the lift produced by the two other sections. Thus, horizontal
movement of the craft may easily be controlled from the ground station. For
manual control of the posture and flight movement of the craft of the present
invention, it has been found desirable to provide a control stick assembly
which functions similar to that familiar to persons flying other types of
aircraft. The control stick must function in both the longitudinal and lateral
directions simultaneously and independently. Variable control elements such as
potentiometers and variable transformers (powerstats for instance) may be used
for control of the present invention. The posture of the craft may be
controlled by dividing the collecting grid into three or more electrically
separate regions as illustrated by the embodiment shown in FIGURES 6 and 7 and
by individually varying the electrical potential to each of the separate
regions. The potential may be increased to act as an elevator or may be
decreased to act as a spoiler, and the voltage may be increased on one side
while being simultaneously decreased on the other side to increase the
effectiveness of the control.
Also, the emitting wires may be divided
into three or more electrically separate regions and the electrical potential
individually varied to each separate region. Again the potential may be
increased or decreased, and may be simultaneously increased in one region and
decreased in the opposite region.
To change the voltage to an individual
region of the craft, a separate power supply for each region may be provided
and the variable control element for changing the output voltage may be
adjusted to produce the desired voltage level. Where a single power supply is
provided, variable resistance may be placed in the electrical conductors
leading to the appropriate terminals on the craft. If the craft is normally
airborne with resistance present in the conductors, then increased voltage can
be supplied to one region of the craft by decreasing the resistance in the
conductor connected to that region. A decreased voltage can be supplied
similarly by increasing the amount of resistance, and combination of increased
and decreased voltages may be supplied to opposite sides of the craft to
increase response of the craft to the controls.
One of the more simple ways to utilise
the power supplied to the craft, I prefer not to have extra resistance in the
power supply circuit of the emitting wires during normal flight and to control
the posture of the craft by individually adding resistance into the circuit
connected to each individual region of the collector grid. Such method of
control has been found to provide adequate control of the Ionocraft and a
control stick assembly will be described which utilises variable resistance
elements which are conventionally known as potentiometers or rheostats.
In FIGURE 16 the collecting grid
construction as shown in the preceding embodiments (see for example FIGURES 6
and 7) is illustrated with each of the four grid sections W, X, Y, and Z
connected through a separate correspondingly designated potentiometer to one
terminal of the power supply. The emitting wires shown diagrammatically as
waving lines are connected through a throttle control potentiometer, which is
used to control the maximum voltage applied between the emitting wires and all
of the collecting grid sections. When this voltage exceeds a certain level but
yet remains less than that which causes arcing, the craft will rise. The
effect of potentiometers A, B, C and D is to controllably reduce the voltage
between the emitting wires and any one or two specific grid sections to
thereby reduce or subtract from the effectiveness of that portion of the craft
in producing its lifting force. This then causes the craft to tilt downwardly
in the direction of whichever of the grid sections has the reduced
voltage.
Referring now to FIGURES 17 and 18 front
and side elevations of the control stick are shown with the respective shafts
of the four potentiometers labelled A, B, C and D. On each of these shafts
spur gears (not shown) are provided to be driven by gear segments secured to
the stick.
The control stick is mounted for pivotal
movement about pin P having axis X and about pin Q having axis Y beneath, but
in the same vertical plane as axis X. Pin Q is mounted with its ends in
opposite side walls W of the control stick housing.
The entire stick assembly shown in
FIGURES 17 and 18 is mounted for unitary movement in a plane perpen-dicular to
the longitudinal axis Y of pin Q. This as-sembly comprises bracket F which has
secured to one side face spur gear G which need have only a segment thereof
with teeth to mate with the pinion gears on the shafts of potentiometers B and
D. The housings for potentiometers B and D are mounted on housing walls W, and
the center of the gear segment on gear G coincides with axis Y of pin
Q.
The ends of pin P are mounted in
opposite sides of bracket B to enable the control stick to rock in a plane
perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X of pin P. The lower end of the
control stick is bifurcated as shown in FIGURE 18 and adapted to pivot about
pin P. Gear segment H, having its center at axis X of pin P, is secured to the
control stick for driving pinions on the shafts of potentiometers A and C
which are mounted on bracket F.
The foregoing construction permits the
control stick to function both in a longitudinal direction and in the lateral
direction simultaneously to function as an electrostatic spoiler in the sense
that when the craft is airborne, the addition of resistance in the lead-in
wire to a particular grid section spoils the lift of that section to thereby
control the posture of the craft in flight.
In the described embodiment, stick
movement was limited to about 40° by mechanical stops not shown. The pitch
diameter of each gear segment G and H was about 6 inches and the pitch
diameter of the pinion gears on the potentiometer shafts was about 1 inch. The
potentiometer gear shafts were capable of rotating through 240°, and were
spring biased to a zero resistance con-dition.
As is apparent from FIGURES 17 and 18,
the position of the pinion gears for the four potentiometers A, B, C and D is
at the exact ends of the corresponding gear segments so that when the control
stick is in its illustrated vertical position, each potentiometer is rendered
ineffective to add any resistance to any of the collecting grid sections. As
the control stick is tilted, one of the potentiometer shafts is rotated and
there is absolutely no possibility that the potentiometer to the opposite grid
section can be made effective at the same time because the partial gear
segment and the spring loaded potentiometer shafts are used. The length of
each gear segment must be at least as large as the maximum angle through which
the stick can be moved, and the pinion gears are preferably at the precise
ends of the gear segments.
It was found that if the potentiometer
shafts were not spring loaded, the gears would upon occasion rotate slightly
so the teeth did not always mesh when the stick was moved in a direction so
that the gear segment should have engaged the potentiometer pinion. By the
manual control stick just described, adequate tilt of the craft is readily
achieved. The position of the craft in air may be remotely controlled from a
ground station through wireless control systems which may be of any suitable
known type. The horizontal position of the craft may also be controlled
automatically. For example, the position of the craft of the present invention
may be automatically controlled in space through means of suitable centering
or tracking appara-tus operating on well known principles, such for example as
are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 2,513,367 to Scott, or 2,604,601 to Menzel.
In such tracking apparatus, one form of which is diagrammatically illustrated
in FIGURE 15, a beam of electromagnetic energy, such as light or infrared, is
centered on a suitable photocell 128 which generates control signals that are
used to control variable impedances to reduce the voltage applied to various
sections of the craft to thereby control the position of the craft in
accordance with the position of the beam source at the ground station.
FIGURE 15 illustrates in detail suitable
horizontal 7a positioning control arrangement. The common grid electrode 14 is
connected to the negative terminal of the power supply and the emitting wires
12 are electrically separated into four sections, viz. left front LF, left
rear LR, right front RF and right rear RR. Each of these sections is connected
through variable impedances 130, 132, 134 and 136 respectively of the elevator
control unit and the variable impedances 138 and 140 of the aileron control
unit to the positive terminal of the power supply. The elevator motor 142
drives the movable con-tacts on variable impedances 130, 132, 134 and 136 and
the aileron motor 144 controls in a similar manner values of the impedances
138 and 140. Each motor 142 and 144 may be driven by separate amplifiers 146
and 148 and pre-amp 150 in a manner as conventionally used in servo systems to
position photocell unit 128 directly in alignment with a source of
electromagnetic energy positioned on the ground.
Referring now to FIGURE 19, a craft
having a central cabin 160 and equipped with dihedral is illustrated. The
collecting grid 14 and emitting wire 12 construction may be similar to that
described in connection with FIGURE 4 & nbsp; and be positioned on alternate
sides of cabin 160. Beneath cabin 160, a suitable wheeled, skid or pontoon
landing gear 162 may be provided.
Depending beneath frame members 164 and
on opposite sides of cabin 160 are a pair of auxiliary grid as-semblies 166
and 167 that are mounted to be operable in a generally vertical plane. Each
auxiliary grid assembly 166 and 167 is provided with laterally spaced emitting
wires 168 and a collecting grid within outer frame members 170 so that upon
receipt of a suitable D.C. potential, a horizontal thrust is provided in the
manner here in before set forth.
Each auxiliary grid assembly 166 and 167
is mounted on frame members 164 for independent rotational move-ment about
substantially horizontal axes 172 and 173. With the emitting wires 168 of both
auxiliary grid assemblies facing in the same direction, the craft will proceed
in the direction toward the emitting wires. With the emitting wires 168 of
auxiliary grid assembly 167 facing in a rearward direction and emitting wires
of grid assembly 166 facing in a forward direction as illustrated in FIGURE
19, the craft will revolve about an axis midway between the effective centers
of the two grid assemblies. If the craft is simultaneously tilted in a
cyclical manner, an effective radar antenna searching motion is provided which
may include a large vertical angle as well as a 360° horizontal scanning
operation.
Except where rotation of the craft for
searching or scanning operations is a principal purpose for the craft, the
emitting wires 168 of each auxiliary grid assembly 166 and 167 are mounted to
face in the same direction. When landing or taking off, which is always
accomplished in a vertical direction, auxiliary grid assemblies 166 and 167
are preferably pivoted into a horizontal plane. This not only retracts them to
prevent interference with landing operations, but also provides a multiple
deck structure to give additional lift and control of stability. Horizontal
speed may be controlled by varying the angle of auxiliary grid assemblies 166
and 167 with the vertical.
As shown in FIGURE 20, the Ionocraft may
comprise several decks 180, 182 and 184 each of which is of similar
construction to the single-decked craft shown in FIGURES 10-14. Each of the
basic structures 180, 18l and 184 may comprise different antenna types if
desired. Several separate ground station antennas 186, 188 and 190 may be
provided particularly where independent signals are transmitted and received
by the several antennas of the Ionocraft.
In FIGURE 21, a multiple decked craft is
illustrated which comprises a central cabin 20P, from which two lifting grid
assemblies 292 and 203 extend laterally on opposite sides which are equipped
with dihedral. Above grid assemblies 201 and 203, one or more pairs of similar
grid assemblies 204 and 205 are supported by a suitable superstructure 108.
The turning axes 212 and 213 for auxiliary grid assemblies 210 and 211 in this
embodiment are substantially vertical and extend through support members 214
and 215 to the upper grid assemblies 204 and 105 to provide added rigidity to
the craft structure. Retractable antennas 220 and 221 may be provided beneath
cabin 200 for establishing communication channels to the ground station (not
shown).
In general, it makes little difference
whether the emitting wires 12 are connected to the negative or to the positive
terminal of the power supply. By tests, it has been determined that with
emitting wires 12 connected to the negative terminal, there is an improvement
of about 5% over that obtained when the emitting wires 12 are connected to a
positive terminal.
In the multiple deck constructions, it
is preferable to connect emitting wires 12 and collector grid wires 14 of the
adjacent decks to opposite terminals of the high voltage generator as
illustrated in FIGURE 20, thus making discharge or emitting wires 12 in
alternate decks positive and the collector grids negative which is the reverse
of the .polarity shown in FIGURE 1. In that case, tilting is effected by
varying either the negative or positive potential of the corresponding
emitting electrode wires and grid sections to provide a rolling movement
longitudinally and laterally.
All the above mechanisms and procedures
provided for manual control can be utilised for automatic control actuated by
an automatic pilot director through suitable servo-mechanisms.
The tilting of the craft in the case of
embodiments like those diagrammatically indicated in FIGURE 15 and 16 provides
forward gliding movements much in the manner that a helicopter is propelled in
a horizontal direction. Where other means are used for horizontal propulsion,
such for example the auxiliary grids shown in FIGURES 19 and 21 or in
conjunction with propellers or jet stream, then the tilting will be used to
maintain a desirable posture in space. All these move-ments may be controlled
automatically by conventional stabilising and steering mechanisms borne by the
craft or such movement may be accomplished from remote transmitting points
either on the ground or from another airborne craft.
The maximum size of crafts of the type
here involved is theoretically unlimited, except for structural
considera-tions, since the mount of lift provided increases continuously with
area. It is thus contemplated that a particularly useful function of the craft
of the present invention may be to serve as means for destruction through
collision oncoming vehicles and missiles through air and space.
Intercontinental as well as space missiles enter the atmosphere over a target
area in predictable trajectories, the terminal end of which is a substantially
vertical path. Thus, the large horizontal area of the craft of the present
invention is particularly suitable for the purpose of protecting sensitive
target areas such as large cities, naval task forces, troop concentrations and
the like by its mere physical presence during hovering operations. By
manoeuvring the craft laterally it is possible to protect an area much larger
than the area of the craft since present detection systems give identifying
information of the target area about 15 minutes prior to arrival of the
missile and the lateral movement of the craft may be effected at speeds of the
order of 60 miles per hour, or more depending upon the horizontal propulsion
system used. If the target area is vast, several Ionocraft could be maintained
aloft to assure collision with oncoming missiles.
While the craft may be powered through
conductors 70 extending from ground or ship towers or via microwave power
transmissions, it is contemplated that lightweight power plants such as gas
turbines or the like, be used to drive suitable high voltage generators which
are aboard the craft. As shown in FIGURE 22, turbine 230 may be so mounted
that its exhaust is directed vertically downwardly to provide additional
lifting force while providing shaft rotation for producing the electrical
power for the Ionocraft. Turbine 230 is here shown to be mounted for pivotal
movement about the axis of shaft 232 which is driven by a tilt motor 134 to
change the direction of the exhaust gases from vertical toward a horizontal
direction. The entire tilt motor 234, shaft 232 and turbine 230 assembly may
be mounted to be rotated in azimuth by azimuth motor 236 driving annular ring
gear 238. Thus, in emergency operations where maximum horizontal speeds are
desired, motors 234 and 236 may be controlled to advance the craft at higher
velocities.
Other types of convention airborne power
plants, such as :turbine propeller combinations, may also be utilised for
providing additional lift and aiding in maneuvring in the atmosphere. The
turbine of FIGURE 15 may be provided with a reverse thrust device or such
propellers may have a reversible pitch, and steering may be accomplished by
rudders or vanes located in the jet stream of the turbine. Also, high voltage
generation by radioactive isotopes is another method of obtaining the
necessary high voltage energy or a primary source of ionisation for the
propulsion and sustenance of the Ionocraft.
It is also contemplated that this craft
may be supplied with electrical power transmitted to the Ionocraft while in
flight by microwaves. It has .been demonstrated 80% of the energy emitted from
a ground station microwave antenna array can be collected in the form of heat
by airborne vehicles. In this case, such heat may be readily converted into
high voltage by conventional means such as turbines operating high voltage
generators, suitable thermocouples and vibrator-transformer converters or the
like. The use of high power microwave amplifiers, such as Amplitrons (Raytheon
Co.), for power transmission via microwaves can provide the requisite power
for a craft of this type. Therefore, it may be not essential that a self
contained power unit be carried by the craft for special uses.
In the preferred form of the craft
adapted for military purposes, directional detecting apparatus such as radar
or infrared equipment will be carried by the craft to enable an antenna on the
craft to lock-on any target object in air and space for the purpose of guiding
the craft into the path of such oncoming target object. An Ionocraft of
sufficient lift capacity may carry its own computers to process the
electromagnetic information to provide the necessary impulses to the controls
of the propulsive means to place the craft in the path of collision. Such
craft may also be guided from the surface of the earth or from an airborne
vehicle in flight, by remote control means to accomplish the collision with an
oncoming object.
Explosives may be carried by the
Ionocraft for destroying such oncoming objects if the mass of the Ionocraft is
inadequate for destructive purposes. Such explosives may be of any known type
and adapted to be detonated either upon impact or by proximity fuses where
desired. Other types of countermeasures or defensive devices for causing
premature explosions of the warhead of a missile may be carried by the
Ionocraft as occasions arise.
The invention may be embodied in other
specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics
thereof. The present embodiments are therefore to be considered in all
respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being
indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description, and
all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the
claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein.

Mon cher JLN,
J'ai suivi tes conseils. J'ai trouvé au
fond d'un garage un vieux moniteur couleur VGA, vieux mais en parfait état, pour
en utiliser la tr?s haute tension et & nbsp;vérifier le bien-fondé de tes dires
sur les expériences Lifter.. J'ai donc déconnecté la THT du tube
cathodique, déconnecté également l'alimentation basse tension de ce m?me tube
(cela pour tenter plus tard des bilans de consommation). J'ai ensuite créé
une terre ? partir du chassis du moniteur, et équipé la prise THT du tube
cathodique de résistances adéquates ( 2 résistances de 220 Ko/5W en série ) pour
éviter de griller la THT en cas de court-circuits. Terre et THT ont ensuite été
amenés ? l'extérieur ? travers des ouvertures pratiquées dans le capotage
plastique du moniteur..J'ai pris soin selon tes conseils de mettre en place un
porte-prise équipé d'un voyant lumineux et de disposer des affichettes sur le
moniteur pour prévenir du danger de la haute tension..
En ce qui concerne le lifter, c'est une
copie quasi-conforme de ton Lifter 01.

Good morning, I send you some photos of again another
lifter type. I call it a Radial lifter. My purpose of this shape is not
only to hopefully preserve the maximum effect of the single lifter element but
also to create an asymmetry in the total field from the centre of the lifter to
the outer circle. The shape also supports a high density structure by adding one
or more circles to the structure (for example: the second ring is half imbedded
in the first, the thirt into the second, etc.) There is also another
purpose of the radial shape of the lifter. It is a way of introducing the
concept of a rotating electric field into the lifter system. By circulair
'powering' off-on each element after the other there will be created a rotating
electric field . Fact is that I cannot say that this will benefit to the
performance of the lifter but even though it is interesting to experiment with.
At this moment however I still use the plain old high voltage static 25 Kv DC.
There needs to be done some work in designing and building a proper power supply
with several channels that can be switched separately to support the rotating
system. Back to basics: The problem of all the above is of course that
the ideas are mainly based on vague assumptions and intuition on how the field
is formed. There's only one thing that looks obvious: the more asymmetry in the
field shape the better the effect is. In fact, it would help to see what the
field shape is in reality. I am not sure that the field simulators that I saw on
the net are really of any help (do they fully comply with the real shape of an
asymmetric field?). To my opinion some extra effort needs to be done in
researching the field shape in order to understand really the Biefeld Brown
effect so we can use it in a more effective way. At this point I like the
practical approach rather then the theoretical To start with a single lifter
element. I am still into the process of thinking over how to visualise the field
around it. Good suggestions are of course welcome. With best
regards Marco van Rees

Dear Jean-Louis Naudin,
I have successfully lifted your Lifter v2.0 . I have followed your
instructions for the required materials for the construction. The only thing I
have changed is the height of the vertical upper 2mm x 2mm balsa wood sticks to
a height of 50mm to keep sparks from jumping to the negative side of the
aluminum foil. I have found wrapping the aluminum foil completely around the
upper horizontal frame was a must for me for successful lifting. I did not watch
this closely with my other lifters that would not lift. I hope you can please
enter the photos I have sent you for successfully lifting your v2.0. Thank you
for your wonderful web site and information. Your lifter was a challenge and is
interesting. I have been interested in your work and am following it closely.
Last November 16, 2005 students was successful contacting the ISS (International
Space Station) with help form our local Ham Radio Operators. This was a first
for the students of the Middle School. I will be also taking this information to
our local school to have your Lifter project duplicated by students for their up
coming Student Science Fair for year 2007 under strict supervision. I am sure
which ever student is successful will be a 1st prize winner.
Below are specifications of my successful (named) TRYLifter I. Total
Weight: 10.3 grams Aluminum foil: Diamond Aluminum Foil Thickness: 6.96m
Household foil Vertical height: 105 mm Width: 400 mm Wire used: Thin
coated electric clock motor Wood: Balsa wood 2 mm x 2 mm purchased from RC
Store St. Louis, MO. Power supply: 23 inch color Television Power
Output: 28 KV. Total Cost of project without Power Supply. US $2.40.
Good Luck with your experiments. I will continue to work on other Lifter
projects now that I have been successful with this one. I will also later send a
movie of my work when I can get my camera repaired. I will be sending three
photos in seperate emails to you.

Your website has been very helpful in constructing my first flying

The & nbsp;prototype was a square construction that wouldn't fly, and my power
supply was and is an old CRT monitor, but finally I constructed a flying basic
triangle lifter. I had a great deal of lift on one side as compared to the
other, so I put in a balsa wood rail for the lifter to move up. & nbsp;

Bonjour Jean-Louis J'avais envoyé l'année passée une photo d'un lifter
que j'avais intégré dans un projet artistique. Ce mail c'est peut-?tre perdu,
aussi je vous le renvoie. J'y repense parceque je suis en ce moment avec
intér?t & nbsp; l'évolution du GFS-UAV sur votre site. J'ai créé un
pentagramme de 1 m d'ar?tes, que j'ai alimenté avec du 26KV d'un vieux moniteur
PC. & nbsp; L'ensemble a été intégré dans une sculpture associant pentagrammes,
runes et magie. Cinq pierres dressées comportant des runes celtiques ont
été disposées en pentagramme, un laser vert, reflété par de petits miroirs
collés sur la pierre, dessinent un autre pentagramme quasi invisible en lumi?re
du jour, et le lifter, attaché par de fins fils en polyamide aux sommets des
cinq pierres, flotte au-dessus d'elles, dessinant le troisi?me pentacle. Un
cercle de sel " magique " tout autour ainsi que des éclats de pierre au sol
dissuadent le spectateur de trop s'approcher. J'avais créé un lifter
pentacle identique de taille double (en collant les baguettes de balsa d'un
m?tre bout ? bout), qui volait, mais comme pour la sculpture, il ne démarre pas
du sol, mais d'une position pendue entre les pierres, la distorsion créée par
son propre poids l'emp?chait de décoller (arcs électriques). Une version plus
costaude (baguettes de diam?tre double) était malheureusement trop lourde pour
décoller. Bizarrement, lorsque je mets la tension, le lifter décolle
doucement et oscille fortement, comme s'il était trop lourd. Mais d?s qu'un arc
se produit, au cours des oscillations, par exemple, alors le lifter décolle
vraiment jusqu'? tendre ses fils de retenue. En créant cet arc artificiellement
(en approchant entre eux les fins fils d'alimentation ? l'aide d'un manche de
brosse), on peut ainsi faire démarrer correctement le lifter ?

Hi JNaudin my name is Xie Xuejun.
I'm in Fuzhou Fujian & nbsp;China.I have done some experiment about Lifter.I
used a long spring to measure the force of the single part of lifter.I got a
conclusion that 1.6cm & nbsp;was the best length between the positive and the
negtive.the length of the aluminum foil has little effect on lifter,but the
weight of the aluminum foil does.So the the aluminum is better in 1-2cm.I found
the & nbsp;aerofoil lifter has a better efficiency(I & nbsp;compared the
efficiency & nbsp;by current).I tried to run lifter in vacuum.I found that when
the air was taking out the lifter was going down too,when the air was very rare
it made a glow discharg and lifter didn't move.Here is some of my experiment
pic.My last pic is a strange phenomenon that whet I put a line above runing
lifter the line will float.

Hello,
I gained interest in the lifter craft back in 2002. At that time
my dad and I built several lifters of different designs. We used an old TV for
the power source. We are located in Seattle Washington. I just now stumbled into
this section of successful lifter crafts world wide and wanted to make sure I
put in my tid bit. I have attached two videos of my lifter 1 and lifter 2.
Initially with my lifter 1, I was having problems getting it off the ground,
with a light rebuild I had it up off the ground but sometimes it would loose
stability as seen in the video. At this point I decided I would build a 3 cell
lifter to create more lift vs. weight. My hypothesis held true and the 3 cell
lifter craft with more surface area did provide a lot more thrust. As seen in
the second video the craft was very sturdy. I have not attempted any more
lifters since 2002, but hope to get some more time working with them in the
future.
I am just starting collage now and will be majoring in Aerospace
Engineering. Taylor Abrahamson

I have finally completed and
installed my lifter in the Gravity Discovery Centre in Australia. Some
considerations for this public display were: & nbsp; HV protection is provided
by an acrylic surround (the most expensive part at over AUD$1000). & nbsp;
Interactivity provided by firstly a " Soft landing " rotary control to control the
pulse width modulated 24V to the HV supply. Secondly with a " Crash landing "
button (red, of course) in which there is a loud spark as the 30kV supply is
short-circuited and the lifter drops 18 inches suddenly. The supply doesn't like
being shorted so there is a 17K dropping resistor and a 570pF 40kV doorknob that
provides the energy for the spark. Kids love this button. & nbsp; Colour is
provided by the argon tubes which are the HV supports and alter brightness as
the current draw changes. There are three spot lights of red, green and purple
to give reflections of the foil of the lifter. These were made from arrays of 8
x 5000 MCD LEDs each. & nbsp; Educational information is provided by an
accompanying poster or by the tour guides. & nbsp; Reliability. & nbsp; Light
toy kite string was used instead of thread at a small weight penalty. & nbsp; A
lot of care was taken with the hot gluing (and 2 spare lifters were made). The
impact point at the feet was also reinforced with hot glue. On earlier lifters I
needed to put some tape on the HV feed wires to prevent them getting agitated.
On this one, I left the enamel coating on the feed wires and the problem was
much better so hopefully wire fatigue will be delayed. & nbsp; RF interference
is a potential problem. & nbsp; Particularly since there is a multidetector cosmic
ray recorder on the other side of the rear brick wall. & nbsp; Leaving the enamel
on the feed wires seems to have reduced the RF and I also have about 10 turns of
inductance on the feedwires wound around the argon tubes. & nbsp; Ozone will
be produced and there is a 6 inch gap between the roof of the enclosure and the
wall where this will escape. The mildly darkened theater that it is in is large
with perhaps a 40 ft ceiling and is air conditioned. & nbsp; & nbsp; Mains
safety. I have an external switchbox which has a fuse and a microwave oven mains
RF filter. I know of only one other lifter on public display in a " Robot
museum " if I recall. & nbsp; I would be interested to & nbsp;know of any
others. Two lifters. One is the display
lifter in a science museum. The second is an 80
kV lifter lifting its own weight of 4g and showing the 4 inch sparks when the
voltage is turned up. & nbsp;
A further lifter for your consideration.
This one lifts more than its own weight. & nbsp; Lifter weighs 4.13g, load is
4.50g. Voltage is 80kV+ from a small TV flyback and 5 stage multiplier. It will
spark 4.5 inches & nbsp; (11cm) between the wire
and skirt if the voltage is turned up. & nbsp;

et moi avons crée pour notre & nbsp; T.P.E & nbsp; (Travaux personnel encadré)
& nbsp;Nous avons également le projet de réaliser le lifter dessiné
sur la photo en fichier joint .Ce lifter seras dirigé par quatre lifter
auxiliaires et verticaux qui seront placés au quatre coins. Il pourra ainsi se
diriger ? plat et dans toute les dimensions. Il sera alimenté par 2 moniteurs
pour le vol et un moniteur qui alimenteras au choix un ou deux lifter
directionnelle grâce a un syst?me d'interrupteur. Je vous enverrai bien sur
toutes les vidéos si nous réalisons ce lifter. Je vous félicite pour tout les
travaux que vous faite sur le Lifter car grâce ? vous cette technologie
progresse.
Nous avons passer l'oral pour notre T.P.E aujourd'hui. Le Jury a été
impressionné par le lifter !
Cordialement, & nbsp; & nbsp; Etienne Basso

Bonjour, Voil? quelques photos de ma premi?re expérience
avec le basic lifter. La qualité n'est pas excellente (prises avec un téléphone)
mais d?s la semaine prochaine j'en reprendrai avec un appareil photo numérique.
Votre nouveau projet semble vraiment intéressant, j'esp?re qu'il va
aboutir prochainement ! Cependant, au-del? des difficultés techniques de
réalisation d'un mod?le suffisament grand pour supporter sa propre source
d'énergie, comment contez-vous gérer la stabilité de l'engin ? Je veux dire,
allez vous le radiocommander directement un peu a la mani?re du Mk-III ou
comptez-vous utiliser un syst?me intermédiaire " d'aide au pilotage " type
asservissement pour assurer une certaine stabilité ? Ce n'est que mon maigre
avis de taupin amateur de mod?les radiocommandés, mais les lifters sont plutôt
vifs et la maîtrise directe de l'engin risque d'?tre ardue.. Quoi qu'il
en soit, encore bravo pour vos recherches qui sont originales et novatrices
! Respectueusement, G. Kauffmann

Greetings Mr. Naudin, After seeing the lifter project on
your website, I readily accepted the challenge of constructing one. The first
lifter, that I made, was quite a heavy one. After I introduced the concept to my
professor Stevce Arsoski, he encouraged me to make another one and supplied me
with much needed balsa wood as suggested in your instructions. My friend Dino
Laktasic assisted me in construction of the second lifter. That was the lifter
that is shown on the photographies. Its first 'levitation' was successfully
achieved just few days ago in my school 'Tehnicka skola Sisak' using the high
voltage supply (25kV) from an old monitor. Both lifters I made at my home and
they were quite simple to make. It's fun and an interesting experiment to make.
I noticed that the edges of the aluminum foil have to be round,
otherwise the lifter may not fly and there could be unnecessary discharging
between the electrodes. The discharges would prevent the lifter from levitating.
I plan to conduct few experiments with two of my colleagues (Tomislav
Gombac and Dino Laktasic).

1st Worldwide
Lifters competition by JLN Labs
Towards 100 g of
Payload , the race is open..
This is a worldwide competition to all
Lifter experimenters, the challenge is to build a Lifter device which will
be able to lift 100 g of additional payload for about 5 seconds in a
stable hovering. ( click to read more informations )
Experiment 14 (21/03/03)- 100g payload
lifter By Engineer Saviour - Blaze Labs
The aim of this experiment was to design an efficient lifter which could
carry an extra payload of 100g. My Spiral Hex lifter V3.0 was designed for this target payload.
Total element length = 1834 cm Total weight = 70
grammes Dimensions for this lifter are as follows: 90mm between
cells 5 sectors have these dimensions: 93, 82, 72, 61 cm 1 of the sectors
has dimensions: 88,77,67,57 cm
The whole structure weighs 85g same as V2.0. Air gap was set at
70mm, and this enabled the lifter to handle voltages over 40kV as required, at
which point it lifted an external payload of 100g (total lifting force of
185gF).
In the photo you can see the 102g external payload stainless steel
nuts, which are inserted in each balsa vertice as shown in the lifter photo.
When powered on, the lifter goes up very smoothly and well balanced and its
maximum payload surely exceeds 100g.
The main power unit This new power supply has
been designed with flexibility in mind, in order to be useful for various high
voltage thrusters experiments. The specifications for this power supply are as
follows: Output voltage : 50kV max. Output power : 1000 Watts
max. Running modes : 10 channel / or any combination in parallel Weight :
3.1 kg
The above equipment was setup for the test. From left to right you
can see the hv probe, 1kWatt power supply, dc supply for hv supply electronics,
multimeter connected to hv probe, and oscilloscope connected to hv probe.
The first video shows the tethered lifter with no load. The power
supply is remotely operated by my infra red remote control. Each time that a
channel (out of 10) is enabled, both power and mean voltage increase at the
output. If you keep an eye on the small oscilloscope trace, you might be able to
follow the channel switching at the hv output. The oscilloscope probe is
connected to my hv probe output.
As you can see, with just one channel at 30kV the 85g lifter
starts to float around. With 2 channels, voltage rises up to a mean value of
about 36kV at which the lifter thrust increases for stable flight and some
additional payload.
Lifter with 100g of
payload
Here the lifter is now loaded with 102g payload in the form of
stainless steel nuts (total thrust= 85gF + 102gF), distrubuted evenly at each
lower vertice balsa rod. Sorry my webcam has no zoom to get a close up of the
payloads in flight, but I am sure you will notice the effort the lifter is doing
from the video.
As you can see, 7 channels were required to achieve stable flight with the
external 100g payload. Voltage reached at the output at this point was 48kV.

Note from
Saviour : The power used in this
test is just about 200 Watts. The
Efficiency is very high with this
Lifter setup, almost 1g/Watt
! Imagine what we could do with few Megavolts. Thrust
per unit length increases with
V 2 , while the efficiency
increases with air gap. The results are very promising.
CONGRATULATIONS TO SAVIOUR for his wonderfull and hard work about the
Lifter Challenge. Now, towards more payload, more efficiency for a self and
an autonomous flight of a Lifter..

Sommaire du Projet
Lifter (
version Française ) Return to
the Lifter
project ( English version )

Dimension 5 is one of the first Goa Trance groups ever and released lots of highly acclaimed vinyls and CDs. The group saw its existence in 1989, and around 1994 they released their first early Goa Trance vinyls, which they described as “space techno”. Back then the group existed out of 4 members: Charlie Clarke, Graham Franklin, Kerry Palmer and Nick Wenham. They started their own label, Intastella Records, in 1996 to have total musical freedom. This resulted in the making of their first full album: “Transdimensional” in 1997. This piece of art is extremely wanted but unfortunately it was never decently distributed, because of that this CD became a true Goa Trance legend.
in 1998 the group got an extra member; Christer Borge Lunde (also known as Ra and Electron Wave). This resulted in another album; called “Second Phaze” in the year 2000, released by an unknown label, Blue Moon in Thailand. Because of that this cd was re-released by German Velvet Inc/Nova Tekk.
Their album “TransAddendum” (2013) features music that was made in the 90s, but never made it onto CD for some reason… Time to release them so people realize, again, that old is gold!
“TransStellar” (2013) is the Dimension 5's best EP & compil tunes, remastered and on CD!
