Gravity Test / Boyd Bushman

Has science taken a wrong turn? If so, what corrections are needed? Chronicles of scientific misbehavior. The role of heretic-pioneers and forbidden questions in the sciences. Is peer review working? The perverse "consensus of leading scientists." Good public relations versus good science.

Thanks for your conciliatory remarks, Lizzie.
Have you read enough of my posts to discover that I disavow this statement of yours: "Both [electrostatics and gravity] propagate with finite speed c." My position, fringe as it may seem even for this forum, is that the electrostic field , gravitational field, and light :!: don't propagate as such, but change systemically, producing instantaneous action at a distance.
For me these are all manifestations of the one universal field, acting according to scaleless geometry.
Truth extends beyond the border of self-limiting science. Free discourse among opposing viewpoints draws the open-minded away from the darkness of inevitable bias and nearer to the light of universal reality.

Well, I never espouse any theory in its totality. To me gravity and electrostatics are analogs. I have no "opinion" about how to measure the "speed of light." I am still waiting for a satisfactory explanation of what it is.

As an "observer" I am not certain that I believe that any physical movement takes place at all. I feel as if everything "manifests" itself the moment I look at it; I guess this is the "Holographic Universe" approach. If this is true, then I would agree with you: nothing propagates as such; it changes systemically producing instantaneous action at a distance.

If there is one thing my post on Maxwell and Tesla scalar longitudinal electric current taught me is that the speed light is not a universal limit.
;)

Longitudinal waves are not restricted to the speed of light, as they propagate via the aether in longitudinal form. This change in structure changes their function/velocity. Structure and function cannot be separated.

However, I must admit how much I like Kozyrev. He seems to be able to tie together all the “missing threads.”

The Divine Cosmos
http://www.divinecosmos.com/index.php?o ... &ltemid=36
The word “aether” means “shine” in Greek, and the fundamental reality of such an unseen, fluidlike source of universal energy has long been a hallmark of the world’s secret mystery schools. The works of Greek philosophers Pythagoras and Plato discussed it at great length, as did the Vedic scriptures of ancient India, referring to it by several names such as “prana” and “Akasha.”

In the Orient, it is often known as “chi” or “ki,” and special emphasis is placed on its interactions with the human body, such as in the science of acupuncture. Masters and adepts who inherited the secret traditions could eventually learn to manipulate this energy to create miraculous results, such as levitation, teleportation, manifestation, instant healing, telepathy and the like.

Research conducted by Nikola Tesla led to his statement in 1891 that the aether “behaves as a fluid to solid bodies, and as a solid to light and heat,” and that under “sufficiently high voltage and frequency,” it could be accessed – which was his hint that free energy and anti-gravity technologies were possible.

Let us pay special attention, again, to Tesla’s statement that the aether has a fluidlike effect when we are dealing with solid objects, as this ties in directly with the work of Dr. N.A. Kozyrev.

Rigorously, Kozyrev’s work forces us to visualize all physical objects of matter in the Universe as if they were sponges that are submerged in water.

Though it would seem impossible to most people, Kozyrev showed that by shaking, spinning, heating, cooling, vibrating or breaking physical objects, their weight can be increased or decreased by subtle but definite amounts.

From this state, he mused deeply upon the mysteries of the Universe, paying attention to all the patterns that existed in life, wherein so many different organisms show signs of asymmetry and / or spiraling growth.

From his illuminated observations in the prison camp, Kozyrev considered that all lifeforms might be drawing off of an unseen, spiraling source of energy, in addition to their normal properties of gaining energy through eating, drinking, breathing and photosynthesis.

This concept of a spiraling energy in biology may seem unrealistic, but it has long been known in the mystery schools. The next image shows us how all the ratios of “phi” emerge naturally in the structure of the human arm, and this is but one example of a process that repeats all throughout the bodies of human beings as well as all other plants, animals and insects.

His “direct knowledge” informed him that this spiraling energy was in fact the true nature and manifestation of “time.” Obviously, he felt that “time” as we now know it is much more than just a simple function for counting duration.

After pondering this for a while, we see that time is ultimately nothing but pure spiraling movement. Hence, all changes are caused by some form of movement, and without movement there can be no time.

Under Kozyrev’s new conception, psychic happenings would fall into place. They would no longer be, as they are in the current view of science, something outside the system, something that must be denied to protect the system.

In order to keep our terms consistent, we will use the common scientific terms “torsion fields” and / or “torsion waves” to describe the spiraling flow of “time energy” that Kozyrev discovered.

The reader should be aware that in all cases, what we are dealing with is simply an impulse of momentum that travels through the medium of the aether / ZPE / physical vacuum, and does not possess electromagnetic qualities.

In 1913, Dr. Eli Cartan was the first to clearly demonstrate that the “fabric” (flow) of space and time in Einstein’s general theory of relativity not only “curved”, but it also possessed a spinning or spiraling movement within itself known as “torsion.”

Most people are unaware that it is now generally accepted that the space surrounding the Earth and perhaps the entire Galaxy has “right-handed spin,” meaning that energy will be influenced to spin clockwise as it travels through the physical vacuum.

Static torsion fields are created from spinning sources that do not radiate any energy. However, once you have a spinning source that releases energy in any form, such as the Sun or the center of the Galaxy, and / or a spinning source that has more than one form of movement occurring at the same time, such as a planet that is rotating on its axis and revolving around the Sun at the same time, then dynamic torsion is automatically produced.

This phenomenon allows torsion waves to propagate through space instead of simply staying in a single “static” spot. Thus, torsion fields, like gravity or electromagnetism, are capable of moving from one place to another in the Universe.

Furthermore, as we shall discover in later chapters, Kozyrev proved decades ago that these fields travel at “superluminal” speeds, meaning that they far exceed the speed of light.
Other than the perplexing final item related to consciousness, we can readily see how each process is disturbing matter in some way, thus causing it to absorb or release minute amounts of its aetheric “water,” which fits perfectly with our sponge analogy.

Research of Shipov, Terletskiy and other Russian theorists have directly associated the energy of torsion fields with the energy of gravity, thus leading to the term “gravispin energy” and the science of “gravispinorics.”

In these new theories, gravity and spin are coupled in the same basic manner as electrostatics and magnetism join to form the electromagnetic wave. Though torsion waves can travel in any direction, they are most typically absorbed into the downward flow of the gravitational field.

So, the strongest effects of the pressure of torsion waves would be a slight spiraling movement that is joined with gravity. Since it is a very subtle pressure, we do not typically notice any such movement in ourselves or in falling objects.

As we already suggested in the prologue, the Sun is our obvious choice for being the primary source of torsion waves in our heliosphere, due to it having 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System.

We discussed Kozyrev’s experiments where an object would be disturbed in various ways, and its changes in weight would then slowly return to balance over time. There is one important factor that emerged in these experiments that does not easily fit in with our convenient analogy of the sponge in water, and that is known as “effect quantization.”

This “effect quantization” is actually a very important key to understanding the multidimensional nature of matter, illustrating that atoms and molecules maintain an onion-like structure of nested spherical waves.

This echos my spiral theory and also the APM frequency definition of time.

Thought I would dig up this old thread.
Wonder what my new friend Alton thinks of the introductory videos and the basic results.
Why not re-create the test?
Good science.

Rick wrote:There is a certain amount of misinformation/disinformation in what Boyd said in the video clip. When he dropped the magnets through the copper tube. The magnet induces a current in the copper and that current creates a magnetic field that counters the fall of the magnet. He also let the interviewer's comment go by (a statement that aluminum doesn't conduct electricity). A similar effect (to the copper tube demo) will occur if you drop a sheet of aluminum between the poles of a horseshoe magnet. The sheet will fall slower than without the magnet.

I have to wonder if Boyd's magnet drop experiment may owe it's effect to the fact that the magnet was falling through the Earth's magnetic field. Of course that may still be the stuff of a propulsion device.
I thought that since APM quantifies eddy current properly that this was important to be included in this thread.
In the Aether Physics Model, eddy current is a unit of measurement equal to the unit of magnetic flux squared1. According to the Aether Physics Model, this is equivalent to angular momentum times resistance:
Image

Image

Eddy current is also equal to potential times 4p times inductance...

Image

According to Dr. James B. Calvert2 in a online web page about Eddy Currents, it has been reasoned that eddy currents are complete path electrical currents that flow through a conductor.

"A magnet produces a pure magnetic field in its rest frame. Anything moving with respect to the magnet sees an electric field in addition to the magnetic field, that is roughly proportional to the relative velocity. An electron free to move, as in copper, will be set into motion by the electric field it sees. ... This current is called the eddy current, since it flows in closed loops in a conducting plate like eddying water."

He goes on to describe the physical eddy current within a copper tube, down which a neodymium-iron-boron (NIB) magnet is dropped;

"the magnetic field passes through the tube walls at top and bottom in opposite directions, producing eddy currents that are essentially rings about the tube, flowing in opposite directions at top and bottom, and moving with the falling magnet."

In an effort to test this theory I dropped a NIB magnet down a copper tube. The magnet is 1" in diameter and nearly ¼" thick.


Figure 1. 1" NIB Magnet
As the magnet dropped, it dropped at a much slower velocity than it would in free space, as Dr. Calvert explained it would.


Figure 2. Magnet falling down un-slit tube.
During the descent the plane of the magnet was near perfect perpendicular to the length of the tube throughout its travel.

According to Dr. Calvert, the magnetic field of the magnet moving through the copper tube makes the copper tube see an electric current. This electric current would flow along one direction near the top of the magnet and in the opposite direction near the bottom of the magnet.

To test this theory I had my son take a section of copper pipe and cut it along its length, thus preventing any current flow around the periphery of the tube.


Figure 3. Tube with slit along length.
Conducting the experiment, the magnet was dropped into this slit tube. If the eddy currents were propagating through the periphery of the tube, they would not form in this experiment and I expected the magnet would drop straight through.


Figures 4 & 5 Magnet falling down slit tube.
But as can be seen in the photos above, the magnet still dropped through at a slow rate. The rate was slightly faster than the rate of drop through the un-slit tube. In addition, the magnet did not fall perpendicular to the length of the tube. Instead, the magnet fell with a noticeable tilt toward the slit.

The interpretation of this experiment is that the eddy current is a result of the angular momentum of the atoms within the magnetic field times the resistance of the atoms within the magnetic field. Along the slit, there are no atoms and thus no eddy currents, and so the magnet tends to fall faster along this area. But the angular momentum in the atoms along the path of the magnetic field still contribute to eddy currents and thus the other parts of the magnet tend to fall slower. This results in the tilt of the magnet as it falls.

In a preliminary test with a cheap handheld ohmmeter, I connected to each edge of the slit in order to test for resistance around the periphery as the magnet fell through the tube. When the magnet was stationary and at the top of the tube, the total resistance was .3 Ohm. As the magnet fell through the tube and reached the points where the voltmeter probes were attached, the total resistance increased to .4 Ohm to .8 Ohm, depending on the size of the magnet. As the magnet continued its drop passed the probe points, the resistance dropped to .2 Ohm before returning to .3 Ohm.

I have since purchased an HP 34970A data acquisition switch with a built in digital multimeter. Two terminals were soldered mid-length, one on each side of the slit as in Figure 6.


Figure 6. Slit tube with leads attached mid-length.
The magnet was dropped down the tube while the resistance was measured at the terminals. Several tests were run and each test produced the same graph, as shown below.


Figure 1.
Image
Resistance of copper pipe over time at point of measurement as magnet falls through pipe.

The spike at the beginning of the drop occurred each test. It is clearly seen that apparent resistance increases as the magnet approaches the test leads and then abruptly decreases just before passing. Then the resistance gradually returns to normal as the magnet moves away.

It was also noted that when no magnet was falling through the pipe, the resistance in the copper continued to vary to a minute degree. It is deduced that the Earth's magnetic field also causes a small, measurable variation of resistance in metals via eddy currents.

When leaving the leads connected to the copper pipe over a long period of time, it was noted that temperature also affected measurements as did the DC voltage generated by the DMM. Over time, the small voltage across the copper leads will reduce the resistance of the copper. When the leads are removed even for a brief instant the resistance rebounds upward to a certain level. This appears to be due to the magnetic alignment of the electrons within the copper. More experiments can be performed to better quantify the effect of eddy current in metal.

The preliminary conclusion that can be reached is that eddy current is an actual unit of electrical behavior. The current produced is within each atom and not within the macro structure of the atoms (copper tube in this case,) at least not under normal conditions. It can be further concluded that the properties of angular momentum and resistance are capable of interacting to produce a combined effect that we call eddy currents.

Addendum:

To satisfy the valid concerns of some scientists, the experiment was repeated with certain modifications. A four wire resistance measurement was made in order to eliminate the resistance of the meter leads. Electrical tape was wrapped around the outer circumference of the magnet to prevent electrical contact with the copper tube. A new slit tube was constructed from an 11.875" length of 1.55" inside diameter copper pipe. A 1.48" outside diameter (including electrical tape) NIB magnet was dropped through the tube.

As with the smaller slit tube, the resistance measurement changed constantly due to the pipe acting as an antenna and picking up stray electromagnetic radiation. The apparent resistance of the copper tube measured from the edges of the slits, and without the magnet dropping through the pipe, varied from +2mΩ to -1mΩ. When the magnet dropped through the pipe the apparent resistance decreased to -271mΩ and increased to 299mΩ. (Click on the image below for a larger version.)
Image


The magnetic polarity used in the second experiment was opposite the magnetic polarity of the first experiment, hence the apparent resistance starts out as a negative instead of positive. The data table can be viewed here.

Electrons cannot pass through atoms, they can only pass along their surface. Therefore the resistance of a material does not refer to an actual property of the material, but rather to the effect the material has on the space immediately surrounding it, through which electrons pass. Thus a moving magnetic field can influence the immediate space, and the behavior of electrons passing through it.

The mechanism for altering the resistance near a material is the generation of potential, which is induced by the moving magnetic field. The generated potential is a quantum potential acting on each subatomic particle, rather than a macro potential imposed from an outside power source.

The graph demonstrates the general idea put forth by Dr. Calvert about opposite flowing currents is generally true. However, the hypothesis must be modified to state that the oppositely flowing currents are quantum currents, and do not flow around the periphery of the pipe.

Re: Gravity Test / Boyd Bushman

I think that junglelord’s instincts here represent an earnest scientific impulse. Which is highly uncommon, I’ve found. In the mainstream, most academic scientists miss precious opportunities to advance our understanding of physics because they’re too eager to dismiss anything (or anyone) representing/presenting anomalous findings. And in the fringe, it’s unfashionable to exercise any degree of sensible analysis/skepticism, so interesting ideas get lost in the sea of chum.

The fertile ground rests between both extremes. So let’s try to focus there.

Boyd Bushman is, contrary to the hysterical slanders of many academic scientists posting online nowadays, a genuine professional scientist of significant reputability. I found two magnificent patents in his name, which were granted during his employ at Lockheed Martin, at Google Patents - his ‘magnetic beam amplifier’ is a seminal discovery, in my opinion.

But if he really has found a violation of the Equivalence Principle, then we’ll be writing a new theory of gravity - although we’ll have to keep the equations of General Relativity intact somehow, since it gives us all the right numbers. But still, it’s an exciting prospect.

So let’s go over some details about this test.

Firstly, I’d like to point out that Bushman talks about spending thousands of dollars on those neodymium magnets *in the context of the 1990’s, maybe even earlier* when powerful neodymium magnets were only available by custom order. I suspect that identical neodymium magnets, possibly even more powerful neodymium magnets than Bushman used, are available today at a tiny fraction of his cost. Supermagnetman, and other online suppliers, sell extremely powerful large neodymium magnets at great affordable prices and with all kinds of sizes and center holes (for mounting together in opposition using brass bolts). But it seems to me that bigger isn’t necessarily better here, because the effect he discusses, if it’s real, is probably a function of the field-energy-to-mass ratio…not just the field strength alone. In which case, it’s not the bulk size of the magnet that would count, but rather the energy density of the magnetization. So smaller magnets of high quality N50 neodymium may work *better* than Bushman’s large neodymium magnets worked (which were most likely <N50 grade).

Secondly, you mentioned rotation a few times, junglelord, but I don’t recall Bushman discussing rotation as a component of his test. As I understand it, Bushman simply held both masses and released them (more or less) simultaneously, and his various observers on the ground noted which mass hit the ground first.

As crude as this methodology is, it does give us a baseline reference point. The human visual simultaneity threshold is about 55 milliseconds. So for his observers to see that the nonmagnetized test mass struck the ground ahead of the magnetized test mass, the lag must have been 55ms or more, given the drop distance of about 60ft. It’s easy to beat that level of timing precision with off-the-shelf digital timers like stop watches, for example.

It strikes me as very unlikely that the weak magnetic field of the Earth would impede the gravitational acceleration of a magnetized mass to that degree, as mentioned above (and actually, I would expect the magnetized mass to rotate and attract to the Earth’s field, not repel from it) but tests should be done to parameterize this factor. Tests masses with N-N and S-S field compression should be done for comparison, for example.

And of course I suggest that identical shock-proof vessels house both the magnet assemblies and the nonmagnetic masses, to assure near-identical air friction forces, and that the density of both tests objects be made identical to 1 part in 10,000 or better. If the test masses are to be released side by side, I suggest that brass be used as the nonmagnetic mass, to avert any significant interaction between the two masses on the way down.

Finally, I suggest that a pair of finely-meshed laser-grid sensor nets be used to detect the arrival of the masses at ground level, and to trigger the termination of a digital time counting sequence, for reliable and repeatable precision.

At least two experimentalists (or experimentalist teams) should perform these tests independently, and compare their data after-the-fact to establish a scientific consensus, and to begin quantifying the effect mathematically, if it appears in the data at all.

Personally, I think Bushman may have given us a real gem here. Let’s find out.

Thanks so much for your compliments and thoughts on this subject.
Good point on the cost of magnets decreasing over time.
I am amazed no one at the EU internal process has NOT given any of my test suggestions a go.
People need replicated test, I offer them, and wait to see who will take the challange.
If it is a testable hypothosis, then lets test it.

You know for so long we have been told what the truth is, that we do not question it anymore.
Like the interferometer results....or the dropping of mass and gravity.
Simple test, that we have been told always end in a null result, that both Boyd and the gentleman from europe who did the interferometer results find that the null result is not universal.

Keep up the good fight.

It seems a simpler test would be to avoid the mass differential part as much as possible, and to minimize air drag discrepancy. Build two hollow spheres as nearly identical in size and surface finish as possible. Place the two magnets inside one (I'd mount them on springs because Neodymium magnets are notoriously brittle, but that's a secondary point).
Mount the magnet assembly so that its center of gravity coincided with the spherical shell's CG, right at the center.

Mount a mass centered inside the second sphere equal in mass to the magnet assembly within the first sphere. Keep the two internal assemblies as close to the same size and mass distribution as practicable so that they have the same moments of inertia.You now have two spheres of the same mass, same moment of inertia, and the same drag factor. Place them inside one of those large vacuum chambers used in space hardware testing, on a drop tower. Release them in the near vacuum, further reducing any potential drag differentials. Avoid steel or any ferrite structures nearby which might influence the magnets. Don't let the drop release mechanism impart any spin.

Drop 'em.

Observe.

It’s very uncommon to find such an important (perhaps even 'heretical') experimental claim from a scientist with the level of professional clout as Boyd Bushman. I think you hit the bull’s-eye, junglelord, when you saw the opportunity here to potentially advance scientific knowledge at the grass-roots level by proposing a replication of his gravity experiment.

But I do wish that both of you, junglelord and jjohnson, would take the next step and take the task of replicating this test upon yourselves, because even the best ideas are doomed to perish without proper follow-through.

And while the ideal testing scenario would include a 60ft evacuated cylinder, jjohnson, such resources are rare to find, and extremely expensive to construct. But well worth the trouble to get very fine numerical precision, if and when we detect an effect under conditions similar to Bushman’s initial tests. Let’s first see if we can replicate Bushman’s basic finding with just a few simple and affordable improvements to his methodology to eliminate human error and so forth – then we can pursue more exacting experimentation standards in a second round of tests by wooing our academic friends (who may have such resources as a 60ft vertical vacuum chamber at their disposal) by flaunting our tantalizing data and elegant protocols ;

The fact is simply this: if you want something to get done, you have to do it yourself with what you’ve got available. And this is why the academic scientists have no respect for scientific thinkers out here on the fringe (and unfortunately they’re right about this part): because they’re almost never willing to roll up their sleeves and do the heavy lifting. This is especially annoying to the academics, because despite their flaws, academic scientists work extremely hard to achieve a deep and sound understanding of science and the empirical method, through many years of intensive study and highly laborious experimentation.

So folks like us, who love digging around in the soil less trodden, so to speak, have to run our own experiments. It’s the only way to get the work done, and it’s the only way that folks like us will ever earn enough respect from the academics to get a fair hearing when we have a novel idea, or some important findings to share, or need their help. And by the way, I should mention that I’m not being a hypocrite here – I’ve been building a test rig to run this experiment from my ~57ft-high rooftop for several months, in my sparse spare time, and I’m approaching completion. But several independently-run trials would be better, naturally, because one set of data just isn’t science…but two or three sets…that’s another story altogether.

On the issue of the theory behind Bushman’s claims, I’d like to point out an important fact. Assuming that his tests hold true, he hasn’t simply nullified some of the gravitational mass of his magnetic test body. If that were true, as someone here previously suggested, then the two test bodies would have fallen at exactly the same rate (barring density / air friction corrections)…the magnetic test body would’ve simply impacted the ground with slightly less force/momentum. Because as Galileo proved, all masses of all magnitudes fall at exactly the same rate within a gravitational field (in vacuo)…this is the principle of equivalence of inertial mass and gravitational mass (a keystone of General Relativity). So this isn’t a question of just nullifying some mass (that’s actually very simple to achieve and opens no new doors of understanding), this is actually a question of a new force interaction - a contra-gravitational field interaction of some sort…i.e. the ‘holy grail’ of field propulsion research.

Put simply, if Bushman’s claim here is valid, then there’s a field condition which repels a gravitational field, and therefore we could build a craft that, when properly energized, will fall away from the Earth as naturally as rain falls toward the Earth.

Such a field propulsion mechanism would open the way to manned interstellar spaceflight as readily as the sail opened the way to intercontinental exploration.

I agree that we MUST do it ourself....even waiting on the EU insider group has left us empty.
So I have gotten some funds invested, have an oscilliscope, breadboards and have gotten some smaller neo magnets. I intend to replicate the magneto-dielectric circuits of Eric Dollard with the electronics and try some gravity experiments with the magnets. Thanks for the motivation and urge to gather data by ourself.
I also intend to make a interferometer....like Martin Grusenick!

the ability to see both Boyd Bushman reinvestigate Gallilao and the simple reinvestigation of the Michelson-Morley interferometer by Martin Grusenick and both of them defeat the null result, shows the whole world that yes, we have been lied too, and have been taught to believe everything we are told without testing it for ourself and by that simple device, have been left blinded for over 100 years.... I intend to prove both of them right and I for one can think for myself and test for myself.
Cheers

Look, others have been doing just that, trying the same experiments of Bushman.

So what happens when you drop your test magnet through the earths weak magnetic field? And what happens when you move it through the earths charge field that may have an unknown value and gradient? Not trying to be awkward, just wondering how complicated the experiment could get to give any figures that would be scientifically acceptable.

Sorry I have yet to do any test, just gathering equpiment right now.
Test to follow...conclusions, just looking for a non-null result.
