Biefeld-Brown Effect

TL;DR

Let’s breakdown the Biefeld-Brown effect and analyze what the different contributing factors are to producing, and most importantly, maximizing the effect for real world propulsion.

There are many factors that together combine to create the Biefeld-Brown effect, the propulsive force observed in the direction from lower voltage to higher voltage plate in an asymmetric parallel plate capacitor. It is my hypothesis that the biggest factor behind the Biefeld-Brown effect is the production of spin alignment of unpaired protons in the dielectric and the metal capacitor plate electrodes.

Introduction

To put it simply, inertia is the force you feel pushing you into your seat when you are accelerating in a car and the same force you feel when slamming on the brakes. It is the force every object feels when it is accelerating or decelerating. Albert Einstein posited that a man standing in a rocket that was accelerating vertically at 9.8m/s2 would be unable to tell the difference between standing in that accelerating rocket and standing on the planet Earth whose gravitational acceleration rate is also 9.8m/s2. Formally this correlation is known as the Equivalence Principle.

One interesting fact about the Equivalence Principle is that an object's inertial and gravitational masses are believed to be equal which results in objects of different masses falling at the same rate. This was demonstrated in the Apollo 15 Moon landing in 1971 where astronaut David Scott dropped a hammer and a feather at the same time. The reason feathers fall slower on Earth is due to wind resistance. On the Moon there is no atmosphere and therefore no wind resistance.

Propulsion Factors Observed by Thomas Townsend Brown

• Capacitors charged to a high voltage move in the direction from negative to positive capacitor plate.
• There is a positive correlation between the voltage difference between the capacitor plates and the strength of the effect, where the higher the voltage, the greater the effect.
• There is a positive correlation between the dielectric strength (it’s ability to resist the flow of electricity through it) of the material between the electrodes and the strength of the effect, where the higher the dielectric strength, the greater the effect.
• There is a positive correlation between the dielectric constant (the ability of the dielectric to store electrical energy) of the material between the electrodes and the strength of the effect, where the higher dielectric constant, the greater the effect.
• There is a positive correlation between the area of the capacitor plates and the strength of the effect, where the greater the area of the capacitor, the greater the effect.
• There is a positive correlation between the mass of the dielectric material and the strength of the effect, where the greater the mass, the greater the effect.
• There is a negative correlation between the distance between the plates of the capacitor and the strength of the effect, where the effect increases linearly with the thinner the dielectric is.

Propulsion Factors From Biefeld-Brown Effect Experimenters

• There is a positive correlation with pulsed voltages versus static voltages where pulsed voltages have a greater effect than static ones and the higher the pulse rate the greater the effect.

Propulsion Factors Hypothesized by Me

• High voltages in a parallel plate capacitor creates electric dipoles in the atoms/molecules of the dielectric pulling the negatively charged electron clouds toward the positively charged plate and the positively charged nuclei toward the negatively charged plate.

• This causes the electric dipoles to have an axis of spin that is perpendicular to the plates.

• It is my hypothesis that the electric field of the capacitor polarizes the spin of the unpaired protons in the dielectric like rotating material with unpaired protons at high speed did under Wallace, Podkletnov, and Eskridge, with the propulsion direction from negative to positive plate.

• Atoms with unpaired protons whose spin are aligned cause other nearby atoms with unpaired protons to align their spin in the same direction as well as discovered by Wallace.

• With a sufficiently high electric field in the capacitor the dielectric and its atoms with unpaired protons will fully polarize.

• Furthermore, the polarized atoms with unpaired protons in the dielectric will influence the spin alignment of the capacitor plate electrodes nearby if they too are made of atoms that have an unpaired proton such as copper or aluminum.

• It is my hypothesis that the unpaired proton spin alignment of the dielectric spreads to the capacitor plates and will polarize these plates as well if the voltage of the capacitor is sufficiently high.

• It is my hypothesis that the there is a positive correlation between the mass of the capacitor electrode material and the strength of the effect, where the greater the mass, the greater the effect.
