3 Purpose To explain the weigh reduction at the experiment by applying alternate electric field to the capacitor conducted by the research group of the HONDA R&D Institute group from the standpoint of ZPF field in a space To investigate the applicability of the dynamical Biefeld-Brown effect for the propulsion system

4 Outline of the dynamical B-B effect From the 1st of Feb. till the 1st of March in 1996, the research group of the HONDA R&D Institute conducted experiments to verify the B-B effect with an improved experimental device in 1996 to reject the influence of corona discharges and electric wind around the capacitor by setting the capacitor in the insulator oil contained within a metallic vessel. They found that the weight loss by the alternate electric field was greater than the static case.

5 Experimental set-up t=1mm,d=170mm,w=6g

6 Electrical circuit for generating HV electric field

7 Schematic diagram of the electric circuit 8kV AC pulse, f=50hz,

8 Histogram of weight losses observed at the experiment M = 0.9 ± g

9 Forces generated by the ionic transfer of the momentum M = m V / q ( i / g ) T.B.Bahder & C.Fazi By introducing experimental values, 168pF, 8kV, and 50Hz, into the equation, the weight reduction due to ionic winds becomes g, which is negligible small compared with the experimental result.

11 Possibility of artificial gravity induced by dynamical electromagnetic field

12 Inertial mass generated by the ZPF field m = Γh π c c Inertial mass is originated to the interaction of sub-elementary particles with the vacuum ZPF field ZPF field in a space 3 ρ d h ( ) = π c 3 d

13 M.B.King : Tapping the zero-point energy A slight coherence of vacuum fluctuations due to the high potential electric field caused an alternation of inertial properties of the body with the ionic lattice of a rapidly spinning atom. B.Haish, A.Rueda and H.E.Puthoff If one could somehow modify the vacuum medium then the mass of a particle or object in it would change according to the zero-point field theory.

14 Process to derive the anti-gravity equation (A) Electrodynamic Hamiltonian by P.Milonni H A = e m c 0 < A > (B) Electromagnetic Hamiltonian corresponding Zero-point fields (B.Haisch, A.Rueda, H.E.Puthoff) H A = e h πm c 0 3 c

15 Assumption to derive equation ( H A H ) = A 0 No Electric field Electric field Impressed A=0 H A = 0 H A = H A Initial State ( H = H H 0 ) A A A

16 Equation of Mass Shift Electrodynamic Hamiltonian H = A H A = πc h 0 < A > m = Γh π c c m πc / m = / 0 = < A h 0 >

19 Compared result with the Honda experiment η = Γ = e / 3mc (Abraham-Lorenz damping constant) M / M = V R t V = 8 kv, t = 1mm, R = 1mm 4 13 N 10, = 6 10 (dense hot plasma) = e M =1. 8g M = 0.9 ± 0. 63g (Experiment)

20 Mechanism of the Dynamical B-B effect Alternate external A-field A-field Dielectric material A-field ZPF cutoff frequency shifted Capacitor Mass shift of the dielectric material Coupled with external forces Net force generated

21 Acceleration of the moving body induced by the electric field M / M = V R t d( Mv) dm F = = v + Mα dt dt Conservation of momentum α = v t M M = Rv t V t

22 Factors to induce a weight loss of the capacitor Increase the AC voltage impressed to the capacitor, nonlinear increase of the weight loss is produced. Increase the charge density of electric current flowing through the capacitor, the greater the weight loss

23 Electrogravitic propulsion systems

24 Electrogravitic craft by Brown Dielectric material Core mass Negative pole Electrode Positive pole (Brown disc airfoil)

25 Spark generated at the Brown s experiment

26 Brown s experimental results A large thrust was associated with spark. A residual thrust existed without sparking (1956) A DC voltage caused a thrust when initially applied. The thrust would decay within 60 seconds. (198) The thrust varies with the time of day(both in vacuum and oil)

27 Electrogravitic craft (ARDA) by the JLN Labs Electric field

28 Electrogravitic propulsion system (Concept of the pulsed electric field plasma propulsion) 4 π e G α = 8 ε m c 0 8 N R v E η e τ 0 R: Radius of plasma cloud N: Plasma density E 0 :Electric field Grid (-) Electric field (+) (+) (+) (+) (+) (+) (+) (+) (+) (+) (+) (+) (+) (+) (+) (+)v Inlet Positively-charged units Electric field (+) (+) (+)v Ion source Thrust Plasma cloud Nozzle (+) (+) (+) (+) (+) (+) (+) (+) (+) (+) (+) (+) (+) (+) (+) (+)v (-) (-) Electric field (+) HV pulse generator Charged outer hull To leading edge Power supply [Features] Highly acceleration capability Low consumption of fuel

29 Conclusion From the theoretical analysis by the zero-point field theory, it is considered that the origin of the dynamical Biefeld-Brown effect might be attributed to the interaction of zero-point vacuum fluctuations with high potential electric field impressed to the capacitor. This result suggests that the pulsed electric field applied to the capacitor may produce artificial gravity sufficient for practical application to the space propulsion technology.
