The phenomenon described by John Hutchison as featured on the Science Channel, was predicted and demonstrated back in the 1980s ... and Joseph Newman developed the theory behind the phenomenon beginning in the 1960s.  While Mr. Hutchison demonstrates the levitation phenomenon, Joseph Newman demonstrated that electromagnetic levitation phenomenon in the 1980s and, more importantly, he developed a comprehensive explanation of it before he constructed his first levitation prototype.


Physicist Dr. Roger Hastings testified to the nature of Joseph Newman's electromagnetic levitation phenomenon during a well-documented news conference in Mobile, Alabama in the 1980s.  Included below is an Affidavit prepared by Dr. Hastings describing how the levitation device can be practically scaled up to enable humans to lift into outer space without conventional rocketry.

OBSERVATIONS AND PERFORMANCE PROJECTIONS ON
JOSEPH NEWMAN'S ELECTROMAGNETIC AIR/SPACE VEHICLE


I have witnessed a demonstration of Joseph Newman's Electromagnetic Air and Space Vehicle prototype.  It consists of an aluminized helium balloon wrapped with #38 gauge copper wire.  The system is nominally heavier than air.  When the wire coil is connected to a 200 volt battery, the balloon gradually lifts into the air.  It then aligns with the earth's magnetic field as it rises.  If the current is cut off, the balloon immediately begins to fall.  If the current direction is reversed, the balloon rotates to align with the earth's field. The balloon can be made to rotate or oscillate by manipulating the direction of current flow.  If the current is periodically switched so that the balloon always repels the earth's field, its rate of descent is about 25% faster than the case of steady attraction of the coils to the earth's field.

Joseph Newman's design calls for creation of a magnetic field which is an average about equal to the earth's field over the volume of the balloon. This can be achieved with minimum input power using a large number of turns of fine wire.  I have considered vehicle modules with the following properties:

Volume                  =    10'x10'x10' = 1,000 cubic feet
Helium Lift             =    70 lbs.
Wire                        =    12,000 turns of #38 AWG copper
Wire Weight          =    23 lbs.
Battery                   =    3,000 volts DC
Battery Weight     =    15 lbs
DC Current           =    10 mA
Material Weight   =    10 lbs.
Payload Weight   =    22 lbs.

A vehicle which is 100 feet in diameter and 50 feet high would consist of 400 of the above cubes and would carry a payload of 4.4 tons.  A vehicle which is 1,000 feet in diameter and 500 feet high would consist of 400,000 of these cubes and carry a payload of 4,400 tons.

The following points should be noted:

(1) The total payload is proportional to vehicle volume.

(2) The electromagnetic torque and lift are also proportional to volume in this design.

(3) Navigation is achieved by manipulating the orientation of the coils.

(4) If superconducting wires become available, the batteries would not be required.

(5) For improved efficiency with copper wiring, sets of the cubes can be connected in series and energized with pulsed high voltage.  Joseph Newman has developed such techniques to extend battery lifetime.

(6) In the atmosphere, lift is provided by a combination of ohmic heating of the helium gas, electromagnetic interaction of the helium atoms with the applied fields, and interaction of the applied magnetic field with the earth's magnetic field.

(7) It is intended that the craft can operate entirely through interaction with the earth's magnetic field once it leaves the atmosphere.  The interaction will be especially strong in the ionosphere and persists in the earth's magnetotail.

Joseph Newman's invention was designed and disclosed in a patent application to its construction.  It represents a vastly improved means for propulsion and navigation of helium balloons (blimps).  Large versions may well carry us gently and safely into space.

OBSERVED ELECTROMAGNETIC PHENOMENA ARE PRODUCED."
