The following is in response to a post on another list
about an apparent antigravity effect;
-----------------------
Years ago, we got a letter from Beyond 2000 wanting a
set of the KeelyNet disks. The letter said of the
information posted that Beyond 2000 had seen, there
was more than enough for 2 years of fascinating TV
reports and they wanted a set of all the files. They
read the file called KIDD1.ASC and wrote back saying
they were going to interview Sandy Kidd and broadcast
the segment. I got a videotape of the broadcast which
is the same one that Discover replayed as shown in
this file.
At the time, I believe the conclusion was that the
lifting effect was caused by linear friction where the
bucket of scrap metal that was used to counterbalance
the device was ratcheting downwards due to the
unstable rotation of the device causing it to jerk
upwards.
Kind of a creeping effect from the successive jerks,
analogous to a kinemassic/inertial drive but not
exactly the same thing.
This could be tested with an encoder or rpm wheel
driven by the rope as it would show a jerking motion
as opposed to a smooth transport and pin down the
cause of the lift. You will note it goes so high and
then stops and Kidd has to start it in the first
place, much like engaging the first tooth of a gear
though in this case it is release tension so the
jerking effect will take over and provide apparent
'lift'.
It is a neat effect at any rate though needs a lot
more testing before claiming weight loss or any kind
of gravity reduction. >>> Jerry W. Decker / KeelyNet
