Electrostatics Etc. Today (Popular Mechanics)

I'm not too familiar with the mechanics of this Forum, hope the link is properly done. anyway...

I'm pretty sure none of this is new to the people on here.
An Engineer Says He’s Found a Way to Overcome Earth’s Gravity

“The most important message to convey to the public is that a major discovery occurred,” Buhler told The Debrief. “This discovery of a New Force is fundamental in that electric fields alone can generate a sustainable force onto an object and allow center-of-mass translation of said object without expelling mass.”

Buhler stressed that this work is unaffiliated with NASA, and that he recently presented his findings at the Alternative Propulsion Energy Conference (APEC), which is a club of engineers and enthusiasts eager to find ways to overcome the limitations of gravity and physics—and not always with the most scientifically sound methods.

In an interview with APEC’s co-founder Tim Ventura, Buhler explained how his background in electrostatics led to the discovery. He says his team—made up of people from NASA, Blue Origin, and the Air Force—investigated propellant-less drives for decades before arriving at electrostatics. For years, their devices produced negligible thrust, but saw increases with each new iteration. This culminated in 2023, when this “New Force”-powered drive generated enough thrust to overcome Earth’s gravity.

Thanks for posting this.

Buhler's name has been percolating on the periphery of this subject for a while now.

His work sounds a LOT like you know who's.

Yes, there was a shock of recognition.

To Dr. Charles Buhler's credit, he gave Townsend Brown the credit for making the original discover about electrostatic pressure. Townsend Brown wrote about it in letter's to Turman and his longtime friend and colleague Kitsleman. Was this the discovery he had made mentioned in U.S. Patent 3,187,206?

Thank you Larry. Do you recall if you saw the letter to kitselman in the Brown Family archives or elsewhere?
