Ning Li, a consulting scientist to NASA's Marshall Space Center,
who we might presume to know something, authors papers about the relationship
of gravito-electric and and gravito-magnetic forces to the electromagnetic
potential, and methods for generation of gravitational effects with
superconductor material. According to Dr Li -- "a detectable gravitomagnetic
field, and in the presence of a time-dependent applied magnetic vector
potential field, a detectable gravitoelectric field could be produced."
How many clues do we need? Equal-and-opposite electric sources (dipole-
charges and/or dipole-currents) appear to effect the electromagnetic potential
in ways which are indistinguishable from gravitation. And you know what they
say about things that look like a duck.
The net sum of equal and opposite electromagnetic vectors is a zero vector,
but it is NOT the same situation as no vector. For skeptics and diehards who
are still having a hard time accepting the idea of electro- gravitics, here's
a simple experiment. Stand on a train track between two locomotives which are
pushing on you with equal force in opposite directions. You will exhibit no
net motion. None the less, you may soon begin to notice that something
important is happening. -- Robert Stirniman

There is a reprint of an article that appeared in "Interavia, Volume XI - No.
5, 1956" a March 23, 1956 article titled "Towards Flight without Stress or
Strain... or Weight" This article has a photograph of T.T.Brown holding one of
his flying disks, and another photograph of the flying disk by itself. There
is some info on the opperation of the electrokinetic apparatus.

Many documents on Gravitoelectrics/Electrogravitation refer back to the 1952
Project Winterhaven. That project is said to contain information on a Mach 3
Combat Disc. Also, have any records related to other Projects with Mr. T.T.
Brown been produced. I have seen his Lab notes 1 - 3 - 4. I was looking for 2
- 5 & 6. Also, the Bahnson et al Brown lab notes during his research days at
Bahnson Labs in North Carolina 1957-60 period or about. I have a poor chopped
up Lab Video on the subject. I'm looking for the full video the 45 minute one.
Mine is a mere 23 minutes.
I have yet to track down an original document entitled: "The Flying Saucer:
The Application of the Biefeld-Brown Effect to the Solution of Space
Navigation" by Mason Rose. This 50's document details how a flying saucer
operates. I have a copy of a re-write and it is outstanding. And I'm also
looking for a document as seen on SIGHTINGS TV entitled: "PROJECT SILVER BUG"
the 1955 USAF Flying Saucer Tests. Also, seeking a copy of PROJECT WINTERHAVEN
by Thomas Townsend Brown on a MACH-3 Combat Disc. The British had a stake in
as well as the USAF. It to is from the 1950's.

------------------------------------
The Biefeld-Brown (spelling is correct) effect is described generally as the
anomalous tendency of high voltage flat capacitors to display movement towards
(usually) the positive pole. Effects are most often seen at potentials above
50kv. Thomas Townsend Brown held a few patents on devices using it. It's very
controversial and is part of the subject of "electrogravitics", as some say
that the BB effect is actually polar gravity peeking out from behind a high
electrical gradient within a dielectric. Claims are that the mass of the
dielectric is a factor in the magnitude of the effect as well as the
capacitance and the gradient intensity. Should be fairly easy for the home-
workshop experimenter to get a look at, but the difficulty seems to be in
isolating the effect from ionic wind and simple electrostatic propulsive
effects. Skeptics claim that those forces are all it ever was, but a few
reports indicate that they may be wrong.

>From Richard Feynman's Lectures on Physics we learn that there is
intrinsic field energy and momentum density associated with a static electro-
magnetic field configuration. When there is a change in the magnetic field,
this field energy and momentum can be directly converted into kinetic energy
and mechanical momentum. Feynman illustrates this with an electromagnetic
carousel paradox. In this paradox, a dielectric disk (which is embedded with
small charged spheres along its circumference) rotates without any apparent
"counter" torque in the system. Before this rotation occurs, the dielectric
disk is immersed in a static magnetic field. The subsequent rotation occurs as
a consequence to reducing the previously static magnetic field to zero. The
angular momentum and rotational kinetic energy comes directly from the initial
static magnetic field.

A Report on the T. Townsend Brown Conference: "Focus on Unconventional
Energies: A Symposium on Electrical Propulsion & the Technology of Electro-
Gravity"
April 15-16, 1994 Philadelphia Community College, Philadelphia, PA
This conference was held in tribute to Thomas Townsend Brown and I feel that
it was a great success. About 15 speakers and 80 attendees provided a brief
overview of Zero Point Energy theories, Free Energy devices, electrostatics
theory, and antigravity experiments and documentation. Attendees came from as
far away as California and Washington. The conference program advertised the
following topics: "A Review of Advanced Energy Devices: Evidence, Promises,
and Dangers" by Patrick Bailey (VP INE); "Thomas Townsend Brown's Electro-
Gravities Research in the 1950's" by Tom Valone (Integrity Institute); "The
Role of Electro-Statics" by Charles Yost (Electric Spacecraft Journal);
"Thomas Townsend Brown's Research: A Challenge to Modern Science" by Elizabeth
Rauscher (Tecnic Research Laboratories); "Electro-Gravitic Theory: Explaining
the Operating Principle of Brown's Electric Disks" by Paul LaViolette (The
Starburst Foundation); "A Panel Discussion on Biefeld-Brown and Beyond;"
"Vortices in the Zero Point Energy" by Moray King; "Design of a Compact Marx
Generator Triggered by a Blumlein Capacitor" by George Hathaway; "Thomas
Townsend Brown's Final Gravito-Electric Research" by Josh Reynolds (New Wave
Partners); "Townsend Brown Effects Reviewed" by Ron Kovac; "Pushing the
Boundaries: Electro-Hydro Dynamic Potentials ..." by Henry Monteith, and
"Gravity Drop Tests" by Don Kelly (SEA). - Patrick Bailey
I have the audio tapes from the T.T. Brown conference, 11 tapes in all, and I
got a lot of good information from it. - Bob Reim (reim@advantor.com)

There is a connection between Townsend Brown and UFOs. Brown was the founder
of NICAP (National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena) Project
Skylight, and Brown served as Vice Chairman pro tempore during during NICAP's
organizational period in 1956.

Quotation from a letter to William Moore from T. Townsend Brown dated 12/17/76
--
"I am still working on petroelectricity and the project is housed largely at
Stanford Research Institute with additional assistance being provided by the
University of California - Berkeley and the Ames Research center of NASA.
Unfortunately, under the circumstances, while this project is being evaluated
for funding by ERDA we should not and cannot publish details..."
"Your next question concerns the airfoils. As far as I am aware, no rf is
radiated. There is, of course, a static d.c. field which accompanies the
airfoils in flight." ---------------------------------------------------------
---------------
It is very interesting to note that Townsend Brown was the pioneer in this
field, and was not able to obtain very much support for his work until the
1950's. During that time, there was much discussion of gravity and antigravity
within the aerospace industry and in the magazine "Aviation Week." Then the
Gravity Research Group (GRG) published a detailed summary report of their
review of research into "Electrostatic Motion, Dynamic Counterbary, and
Barycentric Control" (i.e. "Antigravity"). This report is the last public
report that any researchers have been able to find for us that deals with the
physical effects of electrostatics, electrodynamics, and gravity control. (It
is also worth noting that this report was found in the Wright Patterson Air
Force Base Library "TL 565 A9" and was not listed in the library catalog). So,
after the mid-1950's to the present, no other information regarding the
technology of electrodynamics and its effect on gravity has been able to be
found in any of the un-classified U.S. literature.

I have the FIVE (5) lab books of TT Brown's R&D at the Bahnson Co. in Salem,
N. Carolina 1958-9. I also have some other letters and drawings of the lab
plus the only surviving 16mm colour film of the various stages of his work at
Bahnson Labs.
I was in contact with Dr Brown in 1983 by phone and by mail. He died of lung
cancer not long after in Oct of 1985. He told me that a lot of people
including Bill Morre had attributed more to his work than he had really done.
In particular, he was only marginally connected with the Philadelphia
Experiment as such. His main theme of R&D was dielectrics and the Biefeld-
Brown effect. He was not an electromagnetics man... only electrostatics.
>From 1983 to 1991 or so I was in frequent communication with J. Frank King
who was TT Brown's boss at the Bahnson Co. J. Frank was a good man and a good
friend of mine. He, too, died in Dec 1989. Before he died I was given rights
to reproduce and share letters, files, drawings, patent submissions, films etc
from his personal files on TT Brown, George Adamski, Dr Ilka, T Henry Moray
and others.
J Frank warned me a long time ago to take what TT Brown said with a 'grain of
salt' because Townsend had a habit of 'stretching the truth' a bit to get
funding which he was always in need of.... So, I warn you now in good faith:
If you seek lost or hidden technology in Brown's lab notes, I don't think you
will find it there; however, I am prepared to make photocopies available to
you.
There are about 750 pages in all. I would need to charge you AUS$50 per
notebook which would include the air mail charges as well. In US$ that would
be about US$38 per notebook. The film is available as are the notebooks (I
think) from The Electric Spacecraft Journal in the US (Charles Yost on 704-
252-8083, FAX 202-683-3511. -- Stan Deyo
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
As far as I know, the last thing Brown published before his death was, "On The
Possibilities of Optical-Frequency Gravitational Radiation", 2/14/1976 and
8/30/1976. I don't know where it was originally published. But you can get
copy from:
Rex Research, P.O. Box 19250, Jean NV 89019
It is part of NR 046-BT2/B17-BRV "T. Brown: Petro-Voltaics" (Gravito-Electric
Conversion). Most people think Brown was just into flying capacitors he was
into much much more... -- Bob Paddock
