"the gravitator" pf Tomas Townsend Brown

[seth]

Ok...i tried the Lafforgue thruster but poor results. I need to get a cleaner (straighter) shape for the electrodes i think - all in all i need a better design, and one that can take the high voltage. I'll get some pics up when results improve Are there any other shapes/ dielectric materials that you guys recommend?

I'm testing it just hung on a bit of string like a pendulum. just like i used to with lifters.

Might have a go at a turtur replication tomorrow. I tried a long time ago and got slow movemnt....but i want something a bit faster

I would like to replicate the Antigravity Systems gravitator. But, I do not read Spanish. Is there anyone who can help me understand how the device is made? So far I think it is something like this.

(ENGLISH)Hello comrades channel I have not made the necessary changes in the rotational balance which will consist of a single arm carrying the 2 wires of high voltage power glued and entangled, after the adjustment I doubt that the balance swings for I am convinced that dismissing the entire ion wind is the result of attraction and repulsion generated arbitrarily by the strong electric field of the capacitor and the parallel power cables .......

If you twist the two wires together then you will be creating a good capacitor. That will reduce the voltage at the gravitator. So if it does not swing then it could be because of the lower voltage.
(SPANISH from google translator)Si usted tuerce los dos cables juntos y luego va a crear un buen condensador. Esto reducirá la tensión en los Gravitator. Así que si no se balancee, entonces podría ser debido a la tensión más baja.

Steve,
It seems to me that with a spacing between the wires they may be ionizing the air between the wires and the thrust may be due to the positively charged air ions. It would be good if a test was done without the gravitator to see if the rotor turns on its own.

Either that or the dielectrophoresis effect, which doesn't require ionization. It's a much smaller effect.

But you'd still need a capacitor of some sort where the gravitator would be. You'd have to match the capacitance and any leakage from the capacitor. Leakage can be measured by putting an analog ammeter in series with the one of the HV lines (usually the grounded one.)
