Abstract

ABSTRACT
This invention relates to a system for generating a propulsive force.

Description

PR~P~LSIVE P~EL
The ether propulsion app~ratus is a system of producing propulsion by the use of electro magnetic energy. It is based upon my discovery that at the sharp end of any conducting wire, connected to high voltage electricity, there exists a propulsive force which tends to move the wire in space. In a system where hundreds of millions of sharp conducting wires, are point in unified direction, which are connected to an ultra high voltage source, each point producing a amall propulsive force, enables this system to produce a total propulsive force large enough to move an object in space. This system is pollution free, noise free, and simultaneously efficient, economical and dependable.

The following experiment illustrates my discovery of electron-magnetic propulsion that provides the basi~ upon which the P.P.S. is designed.

~XPERIMENT NO~ 1 A piece of very fine copper wire 30, about 1 metre long is suspended in the air, one end which is connected to one line of a transformer 31 with an output of about 15,000 volts and a current output capacity of about 30 milliamps, Figure No. 1. Down at the other end of the wire section about 2 cm. long is bent toward the left.
When the switch 32 i~ open and there i~
no electricity in the fine wire, the end B
which can swing to the right or left, is at its rest equllibrium position E. However, the moment the switch 32 is closed and the fine ''' ~2~73~

wire is connected to the high voltage electricity, the end B ~wing~ to the right rapidly and then rests at a new equilibrium position N.
If we repeat this experiment, this time with the difference that the end of the wire is bent toward the right instead of the left (see Figure 2). When we close the switch this time the ed B will move to the left, (exactly opposite to that of the previous experiment), and then it rests at a new equilibrium position of ~ and as long as the switch is kept closed the end B will remain at that point until the switch is open then it wi.ll return to its original position E~
If we repeat the above experiment many times in which the end oE the fine wire is bent in different directions, we find that, in all cases, the movement of the 0nd B is opposi-te to the direction of the end point o~

the wire.
The above observations lead us to the conclusion that at the end point of a fine conducting wire which is connected to a high voltage electricity, there exists a propulsive force which tries to move the wire in space.

EXPERINENT ~0. 2 A ~traight fine copper wire 35 in Figure 3, is fixed on both ends and serves as a shaft around which the indicators A to J revolve.
Each indicator is made of fine metal wire about 10 cm. long and the centre of which is wound up just few turns around a pin or needle and then carefully the pin or needle is removed and both ends are bent 90 degrees in such a way that both ends are in opposite directions (Figure No. 4). In Figure 3 these indicators re positioned at an increased distance from each other. For example B = 1 cm. C = 1.5 cm. CD - 2 cm. DE = 2.5 cm. EF
= 3 cm. FG = 3.5 cm. CH = 4 cm. HI = 4.5 cm. and IJ = 5 cm. I~ we connect one end o F
the wire 35 to one line of a tran~former 36 with an output of 15,000 volts and a current output of 30 milliamps and khe ~witch 37 is closed, the indicators E to J immediately " ~, ~ ~ ., ''`

begin revolving around the shaft wire rapidly, the indicators E, F and H in one direction and the indicators G, I and J in another direction.
The reason they revolve in different directions is because the pointed ends of indicators E, F, H are in opposite direction to the pointed ends of indicators G, I, U.
The indicators A to E, unlike the others, do not revolve at all. The reason being, these indicators are too close to each other and cancel each other's propulsive force. To illustrate this, the distances are increased to 3 cm. and after closing the switch all the indicators A to J 6tart revolving rapidly;
A C D E F H in one direction, and the indicators B G I J in another direction.
Repeating the experiment using a 300,000 volt transformer. This time the indicator6 are po~itioned in very close proximity to each ' :' ' . : ` ' '' :' : `

other. For example As = 2 mm. BC = 2 mm. CD
= 2 mm. EF = 2 mm. FG - 2 mm. GH = 2 mm.
HE = 2 mm. IJ = 2 mm. (Figure 3).
When the switch 37 is closed, all the indicators begin revolving very rapidly. A~
the indicators turn the distances between them gradually increases. This shows that beside the existence of propulsive force described before there exists another force which tends to repel the points from each other. Probably this force was responsible by not letting the indicator revolved when the voltage was very low.

T~ EFFECT OF VOLTAOE INCREASE ON T~E AMOUN
OF PROPULSION
If we, again, repeat the experiments with the difference that we increase the voltage, we find that by observing the movement of the end B, its speed and measuring the distance of displacement, the amount of propulsion produced at the end of the wire is also increased. After repeating the experimen~
with different voltages I have found that the amount of propulsion produced is directly proportional to the voltage supplied. See figure 9.
For example, in previous experiments, the voltage of 15,000 volts produced a propulsion of .005 gram and a voltage of 30,000 volts produced .01 gram lift and a voltage of 300,000 volts produced a propulsive force of .1 gram lift.
At the above voltages the variation of propulsion with the voltage appears to be a . ~ ......

., .: , straight line.
Assuming the variation of propulsion with much high voltages continues to be a ~traight line then the voltage needed to produce a .4 gram lift would be 1,200,000 volts. Looking at the graph (Figure 9~ we see that there is the po6sibility that the relation between propulsion and relatively much higher voltages could be exponential. In ~uch a case, the voltage needed to produce a.4 gram lift will be much lower than 1,200,000 volts.
Furthermore, choosing the right shape of the points and the right mixture of metals and oxides and radioactive material will definitely increase the propulsion.
In order to increase propul~ion at lower voltages, we may be able to use a charge pump.
A charge pump basically i~ a capacitor with the difference that each of it~ conducting plates have, at least, two or more connecting : ' .

lines. It is being charged as capacitor but discharge by the changed of the polarity of only one of the conducting plates. Doing so, creating a sudden charge pressure which is the result of the presence of charges of the same sign ~polarity) on all the plates and causing the excess charges to escape from the propulsion causing points which are connected to one of the plates by a connecting line.

FORCE PER U~IT AREA
On a square wooden panel 20, (Fig. 10) b cm x 6 cm, total of 750 steel pins 21 were positioned as in Fig. 10, each point 2 mm.
apart. All the pin~ were connected to each other by copper wires 40. The said panel was suspended by two steel piano wires 23 about 9~
long. The piano wires were also connected to the pins by copper wire~. The ends of the said piano wires were looped 24. A small piece of piano wire 25 about 12" long, was pa~sed through the holes 24 and was made to serve as a shaft which wires 23 can swing.
The steel wire 25 i6 suspended in the air by two supporting long cotton strings 26 which were about 3.7 metres long and the end6 of the strings were attached to the ceiling 27 which was about 8 metres high. The shaft 25 was then connected to only one terminal 28 of a 300,000 volt transformer 31 which was located :
. ' '`' ~ .

~' ~273~5 outside of the building and only one terminal of the high voltage output of the transformer which was heavily insulated passed through the centre of the wall. The other terminal of the high voltage output was not connected to anything. The distance between the ~uspended panel and all the surrounding walls, ceiling or floor were measured to be over 3.8 metre~.
When the switch 32 was closed, the pan~l moved to the left and rested ~t an angle. This angle was recordedO The switch was then opened and at the same recorded angle ~ ) the panel, from its centre, was positioned on a scale 30, Fig. 11. The scale showed 78 grams.
Therefore the total orce equivalent to the measured weight was measured to be 78 grams.
Since 750 pins were used, the average force of each point was measured to be .104 grams.
If we had used a larger panel, ~or exampl~, 1 m x 1 m and positioned the points , , ~ ' :- ,: " ~ :

every 2 mm apart then we would have a total of 250,000 points covered the surface of the panel. The force created would have been 26 Kg/m2. Furthermore, if we had increased the voltage from 300,000 volts to 1,200,000 volts then the force would have increased to 104 Kg/m2. It is important to note at 1,200,000 volts, the di6tance needed between points could be reduced to 1 mm. Then in an area of 1 m2 we could have as many as 1,000,000 points and the force created would be 416 Kg/m2 .
In an area 20 metres radius we can have as many as 1,256,000,000 points, each point 1 mm apar-t and at the voltage of 1,200,000 volts each point produces .4 gram lift. The total force created by all the points w.ill be 502.4 ton lift.

~ ~3~ii REVERSE PROPUI SIVE PANE:L
I have found that by covering the sharp section of each point with sufficient electrical insulating material, the force created by the points are rever6ed. For example if we repeat the experiment No.
Figure No. 1, with the difference that the sharp end of the wire at B i6 covered with sufficient insulating material. After closing the switch 32, we find that the end B, instead of moving to the right, it moves to the left, which is exactly opposite of the previous experiment. The same will be true in experiment shown in Fig. 2, thi6 time the en~
B moves to the right. 1'his shows that the pre6ence o~ sufficient electrical insulating material at the tip of the po.int reverses the direction of the force.
If we repeat the experiment described in Fig. 9, 10 and 11 with the dif~erence that the .: .

points are covered by sufficient amount of insulation, we find that in all cases similar results are obtained.
Fig. 17 shows a reverse propulsive panel made of dielectrics 43, within the dielectrics there embedded in large number of points 41.
These points are directed iIl generally parallel direction to each other by number of conducting lines 40 or a metal sheet~ The sharp end of the points are covered by sufficient amount of insulation. Fig. 14 shows some examples of the positions of a point 41 within insulation 43 and at the same time it shows some examples of the shape of the insulation covering the points.

I have found also that if we position the points inside dielectrics in a way that only a very thin layer of insulation, or nothing at all, covers ~he sharp end of the points, neither the amount of the force nor the direction of the force is affected. ~hi~
shows that the dielectrics can be used to support and protect the points. The dielectrics also allows the points to be closer to each other.
Fig. 16 shows few examples of how the points could be positioned inside the electrical insulating material.
Please note tha-t the difference between propulsive and reverse propulsive points are the amount of insulation covering the point.

Fig. 19 shows a propulsive point with a charge collector. Here the point is al80 connected to a secondary output of a D.C.
power supply with relatively low output voltage. The sharp end of the point is located in close proximity to a conducting loop which is connected to the secondary power supply. The loop serves as a charge collector and thus prevents the build up of any unwanted negative charge around the points.

, Fig 21 shows a typical example of this invention, a propulsive panel that can be used to power an object. The propulsive panel may have different shapes designing or æizes.
Here only as an example, to illustrate the invention, the panels are flat and rectangular with dimensions 30 cm. x 20 cm. x 8 mm. The panel iæ laid on the surface of the skin of an object and secured permanently by a number of screws or nails, or rivet by glue or any other known method on the surface of the object. If the objec-t is larye there may be a very large number of the panels used side by side as in Fig. 21/ and all the panelæ being connected together electrically by known techniques and the said panels permanently posi.tioned by already known techniques. The panels being connected to power supplies.
