This from our old friend Chris Eccles as posted to the
sci.physics.electromag newsgroup and on the vortex list, more
weirdness that seems to validate Searl, Hamel, Testatika, Faraday and
others;

I don't often post to news but, this time, I feel that someone out
there might offer me an answer to a wierd outcome of an experiment.
I have spent my entire career in mainstream physics research and have
always been amused (often annoyed) by the "crankies" who believe in
teleportation, spoon-bending, etc etc etc, and have consistently held
the view that these fringe things belong firmly outside what I call
physics.
A few weeks back, my lab assistant got some stuff off the net about a
"magneto-gravity" device, accompanied by some notes by Tom Bearden.
This swatch of paper was lying about in the lab office and I happened
to read it. Out of nothing but bemused interest, I said to my team,
"Lets build this crap and see what happens...."
We constructed a variant of the device shown in the drawings which
accompanied the data. This consisted of a Duralumin disc (350mm dia)
which could be spun on a motor shaft, using a Picador bearing which we
had lying about.
The disc was made to spin 1.5mm eccentric and was fitted with twelve
button magnets around its periphery, with all their N poles facing
outwards, by fixing the magnets to 90-degree offcuts of alloy angle.
The whole thing was then mechanically balanced by adding extra thin
strips of copper busbar (!) to compensate for the eccenticity.
When tested, the disc displayed some imbalance but this was easily
corrected until we had it running smoothly at 2850 rpm from a
mains-powered 750W motor. So far so good.
We then rigged an enclosing fence of alloy strip around the disc, on
which we mounted twelve more button magnets with their S poles facing
inwards.
The clearance between the disc-mounted magnets and the peripheral ones
varied by ±0.75mm as the disc turned.
The whole shazam was mounted on an acrylic baseplate and weighed. It
was 14.26 kg. When we switched the motor in, the weird shit happened.
The balance showed a loss of grav mass of the assembly of some 550
grams (3.85%) and every computer terminal and fluorescent lamp in the
lab went ape !
Is this real, or should I take a holiday ?
Can anyone offer an explanation ?
