Martin, You're in the right place. Thank you for bringing up a point that has always bothered me regarding the whole fringe science scene. You've hit a nerve, so I'll explain a few things. I read Moore's book, The Philadelphia Experiment" in the fall of 1986, and also found the chapter on Brown...

All, A PDF of the "Method for Beneficiation of and Devices Employing Gravitational Isotopes" patent is also linked from the Patents Section at: http://www.qualight.com/general/patents.htm Which leads to a PDF of the original at: http://patents1.ic.gc.ca/details?patent_number=726958&lan...

Well, I received the copy of the Nexus Magazine I ordered containing the article, "ParaSETI - ET Contact via Subtle Energies." In it, Mr. Gavin Dingley references, "Brown, T. Townsend, "Electrogravitational Communication System", US Patent No. 719,767, issued September 1956....

Hi All, Please let me know if you ever have problems accessing anything on qualight/soteria.com. They are both linked so it should be transparent. Everything will always be linked to from the base site address. Odd that Rex would have shut the journals down. They were only up a very short time, and ...

Chuck, There were a number of different designs Brown used - the best used naturally occurring materials such as Koolau basalt, and silica-based rocks. Another of his favorites was litharge and glycerin. That said, carnuba (carnauba) wax is a very good electret. An electret is a "solid electric...

Perhaps my semantics are a bit off.

How about, “The Universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting
for your wits to grow sharper.â€

Hi all, sorry I'm late. Thought I'd throw in a couple of cents. What I know about Townsend Brown's daughter from speaking with her is that she and Josephine were basically Brown's full time support team. Linda, his daughter, spent much of her time with Brown in the labs, building, designing, etc. du...

Intuition and Rationality, or One of the Things I like Best about the Universe. I love science, especially physics. Some people's minds lock into painting, or poetry, or whatnot, and everyone's mind seems to be ideally suited for a certain type of pursuit. But in my mind, physics deals with the cogs...

Victoria, Sorry, it's Andrew here. We've all gone under pseudonyms over time. Chris happens to be my nickname. That's a good question about Brown, and I've given it some thought over the years. I've come to the conclusion that he was probably driven by two forces that I've seen in my own life. The f...

Well, ion leakage and magnetic leakage are separate entities. Insulating your unit will eliminate the external ion wind, while enclosing the unit in a magnetically permeable material such as iron will capture any stray electromagnetic fields, depending on the strength of the field, permeability of t...

Cooked rocks ? I know Townsend dried rocks in order to drive off absorbed water from rocks as a part of the petrovoltaic research. Water tended to distrupt his measurements, as well as temperature, proximity of fluctuating electrical fields, etc., which were all neutralized over the course of his re...

Aklyon, Would this experiment work. Yes and no. The information that follows is contained in documents located at www.soteria.com and the chapterettes at https://www.ttbrown.com. A cellular "gravitor" is basically a simple capacitor. Grab a textbook on electronics at a library or college b...

Bla, Your opinion is not an uncommon one. Townsend was hounded his entire life by people who wanted to benefit from his work, particularly in his later years when the requests became more insistent and demanding that he give away his knowledge before he died. Those he did assist benefited, of course...

I've heard similar comments as long as I've been a scientist. Something along the lines of, "Well, it's a very common effect, but we don't know what it is." I originally really got into physics as an undergraduate when a distinguished physics professor of many years at Ohio University, sai...

According to J. Frank King (now deceased) whom Brown worked with along with Agnew Bahnson in the 1950's, they used very large power generators approaching the size of a small room. Based on his descripion, I assume they were using vacuum tube technology. J. Frank said that the power units put out up...
