This concept has been speculated upon for a long time. The first time I heard
of it was around '92 or '93 when a friend sent me the famous (or infamous)
J.R.R. Searle story. The story is reported by someone who supposedly
witnessed Searle's experiments, but the person doesn't give their name, nor
any other details allowing this story to be verified. Anyway, here it is:
<
<Gravitational Propulsion
<
<In 1949 J.R.R. Searle, of England, was employed by the Midlands Board as an
<electronics fitter. He was very enthusiastic about the subject of
electricity, though <he had no formal education on the subject other than what
was required by his job. <Unhindered by conventional ideas about electricity,
he carried out his own <investigation into the subject. During work on
electrical motors and generators, he <noticed that a small electromotive force
(EMF) was produced by spinning metal <parts--the negative toward the outside
and the positive toward the rotational axis.
< In 1950, he experimented with rotating slip rings and measured a small
EMF on <a conventional meter. His conclusions were that free electrons in the
metal were <spun out by centrifugal force--a centripetal force being produced
by the static field in <the metal. He then decided to build a generator on
this principle.
< It had a segmented rotor disc, passing through electromagnets at its
periphery. <The electromagnets were energized from the rotor and were
intended to boost the <EMF.
< By 1952 the first generator had been constructed and was about 3 feet in
<diameter. It was tested in the open by Seaand a friend. The armature was
set in <motion by a small engine. The device produced the expected electrical
power, but <at an unexpectedly high potential (voltage). At relatively low
speeds a potential on <the order of 100 KV was produced, as indicated by
static effects on nearby objects.
< Then a really unexpected effect occurred. While still speeding up, the
generator <lifted and rose to a height of about 50 feet, breaking the union
between itself and the <engine. Here it stayed for awhile, still speeding up
and surrounding itself with a <pink glow. This indicated ionization of air at
a much reduced pressure of about 10 <to-the-negative-third-power mm HG. More
interesting was the side effect, causing <local radio receivers to turn on by
themselves. Finally, the whole generator <accelerated at a fantastic rate and
is thought to have gone of into space.
< Since that day, Searl and others have made some ten or more small flying
craft <(some of which have been similarly lost) and have developed a form of
control. <Larger craft have been built--some 12 feet and up to 30 feet in
diameter.
< Once the machine has passed a certain threshold of potential, the energy
<output exceeds the input. We made some measurements when I was there, and
<as far as I could see, the estimated out put is somewhere in the vicinity of
from 10-<to-the -13th to 10-to-the-15th-power watts. Above what appears to be
the threshold <potential, some 10-to-the-13th volts, the generator and
attached parts become <inertia -free. There is also some "matter snatch" upon
acceleration away from the <ground, since it tends to take a little "turf"
with is when it goes.
< Analyzing what is happening is fairly easy. The generator is placing a
"stress" <upon the ambient space around it. The space breaks down to provide
magnetism <to relieve the stress, but the energy by-product is absorbed by the
generator, which <reinforces the field.
< It should be noted at this point that only a very small amount of space
fabric <passes through the craft and an even smaller amount is converted for
energy. <However, I have noticed that small changes in etheric forces lead to
large physical <effects. It was aptly demonstrated and I was impressed.
< Recently (1987), Mr. Searle a brush with the authorities, when he simply
began <generating his own power for his house. Now, he doen't have a very
large house, <but the Utility Board didn't like the fact that they had lost
their monopoly. He now <lives in Birmingham under an assumed name. Simple,
eh?
<
To me this story sounds very dubious, though parts of it have a certain ring
of truth. Any opinions?
