Description
Al Baur will discuss levitation & propulsion in an electrostatic field, Nathan Inan discusses a classical coupling of gravitation & electromagnetism, Shiva Meucci will discuss the experimental record of neoclassical interpretation, Alex Wolf III will discuss Unified Field Theories, and Gerald will be presenting on electromagnetic coils & transverse gravitational waves. We’ll also be hearing updates from our lab partners and finishing off the event with an open discussion by conference attendees!
12:00pm PT – Al Baur – Levitation and Propulsion in an Electrostatic Field
Earnshaw’s theorem states that a collection of point charges cannot be maintained in a stable stationary equilibrium configuration solely by the electrostatic interaction of the charges. This theorem was first proven by British mathematician Samuel Earnshaw in 1842, but Earnshaw did not use ionization as a part of his considerations, where in this system it is the controlling force without PID loop or other feedback systems needed. Al Baur will discuss propulsion experiments based on this exception to the Earnshaw theorem and a new branch in electrostatics.
1:00pm PT – Nathan Inan – Classical Coupling of Electromagnetism & Gravity (Part 2)
Linearized General Relativity leads to formulations known as gravito-electromagnetism (GEM) due to mathematical resemblance with electromagnetism. A common approach is the use of harmonic coordinates, however this has the misleading feature of implying gravitational waves can be vector fields (similar to electromagnetism) rather than tensor fields. Alternatively, transverse-traceless coordinates properly isolate the gravitational wave tensor fields, but the coordinates can only be applied outside matter sources. A more favorable approach is presented here which starts by formulating new coordinate-invariant field definitions. This leads to new GEM field equations that are applicable inside matter sources. Gravitational waves are described by Faraday-like and Ampere-like relationships involving electric-like and magnetic-like tensor fields. The formulation is applied to the concept of gravitational conductors to derive gravitational dispersion relations, plasma frequencies, indices of refraction, penetration depths, impedances, and reflection/transmission coefficients. The result is a complete framework for describing the response of various materials to gravitational waves. Future use of this formalism could be used for communication via gravitational waves, and possibly even laser-like amplification of gravitational radiation as well as aerospace propulsion.
2:00pm PT – Shiva Meucci – Experimental Record of Neoclassical Interpretation
Starting with the Michelson Morley experiment, skewed interpretation of experimental results has led physics down a blind alley. Experimenter effect and confirmation bias riddle a world where pedantic precision is substituted for comprehension. Bad metaphysics masquerades as no metaphysics.
3:00pm PT – Alex Wolf III – Unified Field Theories, Propulsion & Energy
Alex Wolf III will discuss various approaches to Unified Field Theories, and provide contextualization of them for propulsion and energy generation applications. By framing the presentation as a collaborative, evolving effort within the broader context of multiple unified physics models, Alex will align his work with contemporary scientific practices and communication strategies, which makes it more accessible and engaging for a wide range of attendees, regardless of background or specialization.
4:00pm PT – Gerald – EM Coils & Transverse Gravitational Waves
Gerald from our builder group will be presenting an overview of this approach to designing electromagnetic coils based on sacred geometry with the goal of producing transverse gravitational waves. Gerald is well-known as the creator of the “hover coil” and has participated numerous times in past APEC Conferences, as well as on a variety of online podcast channels. His focus is on EM coil design utilizing unique construction & windings.
5:00pm PT – Lab Partners – Experimental Research Updates
Learn about hands-on engineering & technical research on advanced propulsion experiments by our lab partners. Mark Sokol & the Falcon Space team will describe recent work on NMR / EPR gravity-modification experiments, Jarod Yates & Charles Crawford will provide updates on the Graviflyer, Bryan St. Clair will discuss research being done into new inertial propulsion experiments, and other labs are anticipated to share updates as well during this time.
6:00pm PT – Open Discussion & Ad-Hoc Presentations
Conference guests interested in presenting experimental info to the group are invited to participate at this time, and our presenters will be available to take questions & discuss experiments.
