Back in the hotel lobby Podkletnov shows me detailed diagrams of the
experimental equipment that he used. "We measured the weight in every
way," he says, adamantly denying that air currents or magnetism could
have caused spurious readings. "We used metal shielding, we used
nonmagnetic targets, we enclosed the target in a vacuum - we were very
thorough."
He claims that he placed a mercury manometer (similar to a barometer)
over the superconducting disc and recorded a 4-mm reduction in air
pressure, because the air itself had been reduced in weight. Then he
took the manometer upstairs to the lab above his and found exactly the
same result - as if his equipment were generating an invisible column of
low gravity extending upward indefinitely into space, exactly as H. G.
Wells described it almost a century ago.
At NASA, David Noever feels that gravity reduction should diminish with
distance. Podkletnov, though, has proved to his own satisfaction that
the effect has no limit; and if he's right, a 2 percent weight reduction
in all the air above a vehicle equipped with gravity shielding could
enable it to levitate, buoyed up by the heavier air below. "I'm
practically sure," Podkletnov says, "that within 10 years, this will be
done." He gives me a meaningful look. "If not by NASA, then by Russia."
But wait; there's more. He has news that hasn't been reported elsewhere.
Despite the hardships in Moscow, during the past year he says he
conducted research at an unnamed "chemical scientific research center"
where he built a device that reflects gravity. Supposedly it's based
around a Van de Graaff generator - a high-voltage machine dating back to
the earliest days of electrical research. "Normally there are two
spheres," he explains, "and a spark jumps between them. Now imagine the
spheres are flat surfaces, superconductors, one of them a coil or
O-ring. Under specific conditions, applying resonating fields and
composite superconducting coatings, we can organize the energy discharge
in such a way that it goes through the center of the electrode,
accompanied by gravitation phenomena - reflecting gravitational waves
that spread through the walls and hit objects on the floors below,
knocking them over."
And this, too, can have practical applications?
"The second generation of flying machines will reflect gravity waves and
will be small, light, and fast, like UFOs. I have achieved impulse
reflection; now the task is to make it work continuously."
He sounds completely sober, serious, matter-of-fact.
If he really wants knowledge to be freely shared, why hasn't he written
more about this? And why hasn't he been more open with the people at
NASA?
"I'm a serious person. If someone wants serious work, I can provide
this. If I was to relocate in the United States, I would need five or
six people and two years in a university or well-equipped technical
laboratory. I guarantee, if I am invited, I can reproduce everything.
But I am not selling my experiment piece by piece. If your readers are
serious, they will be able to find me."
So here's a unique opportunity for the venture capitalists out there.
Track down the elusive Eugene Podkletnov, make him an offer he can't
refuse, and help to free humanity from its pedestrian existence at the
bottom of a gravity well.
This sounds very interesting and seems to be a confirmation of Dr Lings work.
Anyone know anything about this subject?
Saw an article on another website about gravitational waves being reflected at an increased strength of 42 orders of magnitude higher than a normal electronic field.
Perhaps gravitational force is electromagnetic and at such a high frequency that it cant normally be blocked except by superconducting materials?
