Mysterious USC Gravity Generator Announcement

NOTICE: This document has since been withdrawn by USC

Abstract:

The gravitational field generator comprises a stationary superconductor surrounded by a special configuration of RF solenoids.

Certain combinations of RF fields will result in the generation of a DC gravitational field in any desired direction in the range of about 10^-22 g m^-2 per ion, depending on ion mass, where g is the acceleration due to gravity.

When directed against gravity it acts as an anti-gravity device. When directed horizontally it acts to accelerate or brake a free mass.

Appropriate choice of the relative phases of the RF magnetic field causes the gravitational field to form a beam, which will not exhibit the usual inverse square dependence with distance from the source.

The production of fields equal to one g is anticipated with this simple arrangement. The theoretical expertise exists to understand controlling mechanisms and to optimize the field for specific applications.

Potential Areas of Application:

The invention proposed here can be used to generate a force field in any direction whether it be for propulsion or any other similar purpose, thus it has many applications wherever a force is needed.

For example, the Gravity Generator could be used both to replace the wheels of a car so that the motion would not be terrain dependent and to accelerate and brake the vehicle.

This invention could also be used to lift and propel aircraft, drive generators more efficiently, and produce gravity free environments on Earth for precision manufacturing and scientific research in numerous fields (e.g., chemical engineering, medicine and pharmaceuticals).

Main Advantages:

In addition to producing the above-mentioned gravitational effects, the Gravity Generator also has the advantages of being inexpensive, due to its simplicity and low power consumption, as well as being non-polluting.

Licensing Potential:

University seeks licensee and/or joint development.

NOTES: I heard a rumor from a reliable source that this document existed. However, that source would not send me a copy because it was issued under nondisclosure. However, the information the source gave me corresponds with the information in this document, so I believe they are one and the same.

This document was printed inside the back cover of James E. Cox's Antigravity News and Space Drive Technology" journal, July-August 1997. No comments accompanied the text. No copyright notice or other restriction accompanied this document. All other pages of the journal, however, are clearly marked "(c) ANTIGRAVITY NEWS, 1997. COPYING NOT ALLOWED without written permission."

However, since this was not placed at the bottom of the page containing this USC announcement, I felt it was OK to copy it.

An associate contacted William F. Littlejohn on 6 Oct 1997. This person confirmed that the document is real and is not a hoax. However, it has since been withdrawn by USC.

Apparently, initial success in the lab prompted USC to jump the gun and issue this document to many private corporations in hopes of raising funds to build a prototype. However, this initial lab success was found to be invalid, and the experimenters thus requested USC to withdraw the ATA.
