@All,

Did some testing on the rotor today to see if it has any homopolar effects. Not much, but it is there.

I had to cut strapping tape off the rotor edge to contact the steel, leaving only the spoke straps, so I could only bring it up to 600 rpms. Most homopolar rotors run above 10,000.

Best measurement came with the meter probes at the top of the rotor and the center of the rotor.
Found 1.25 MA AC and 1.61 MA DC. Couldn't measure volts as the meter was jumping too much. I had to press the probe very hard against the rotor due to the wobble. That would slow the rotor down and may even contribute to the effect. Made various test to ensure the amps were only coming from the steel conductor rotating with the magnets.

Regards,

JM,

Not surprised at all ...

Here's another specific example ... this one from no less than Dr. Aspden ....


"... reference was made to the anomalous gravitational acceleration of the space craft Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11. Having written about the theory of gravitation in several of my published works and claimed for many years to have an insight into the true nature of the force of gravity in terms of electrodynamic theory, I was inevitably interested in that discovery. Within days of first reading about it at pp. 28-32 of the 20 July 2002 issue of the U.K. weekly periodical New Scientist, (article by Marcus Brown entitled 'Strange Attraction'), I could see how this discovery gave support to my theory of published record and, on 15 August 2002, I duly sent a brief paper on the subject to the Editor of Physics Letters B who deals with cosmological topics, hoping that it might be accepted for peer review publication.

"His answer, dated 27 August, was simple and gave no substantive reason for rejection. The only words were:

                                 'I'm afraid I cannot accept your manuscript for publication in Physics Letters B.'

"This is an example of the attitude of those who judge the earnest efforts of an individual, efforts aimed solely at helping the scientific establishment to make sense of Nature's mysteries and so improve our knowledge and, indirectly, lead to enhancement of our technological resources. Such is my introduction to this Lecture which I will now begin by presenting the full text of the paper I submitted ...."

In my opinion, the anonymous "peer-review system" of current scientific publication is the greatest impediment to serious scientific progress in the 20th/21st Centuries! 

Because, highlighted by your own experience, the ability to secretly "do a hatchet job" on someone else -- for whatever reasons -- is obviously "the ultimate dagger at the heart of free scientific information exchange."

Again, I hope all those here value the freely-exchanged data and ideas made possible on forums such as these .... 

In an era of increasing, blatant scientific censorship -- they are truly priceless .

Looks like a sailed right past 200 ohms, instead I have 587 ohms coil of .265mm wire.

Let's hope too high (a voltage/aether velocity) isn't a problem.

But I have another problem, I had planned to slide the coil down to the end of the shaft but my own significant weight, or a hammer blow won't budge the core, so I need to carefully take a grinder to the core. (I figured it might resist but I hadn't expected it would be immovable)

... more than you think - because the power of the internet allows everyone to publish their ideas freely. Thus the junk scientists can no longer hide behind the feeble claim that they are being muzzled by the establishment. What will they do for excuses now?!

Hi Aether22,

From your previous post, I didn't think you could make 587 ohms with your available wire. Did you pickup more wire?

You may be able to remove one or two individual pieces of steel from the core to relieve the pressure.
