The best combination of these then may be chosen and applied to a wide
variety of practical conditions which will surely arise in everyday aeronautical
or astronautical flight.
1) PROXIMITY OF PLATES The first factor regulating the intensity of
the Effect is controlled by the closeness at which the condenser's plates
can be set. If the charging pressure - or voltage - is high then the plates
will have to be farther apart than for lower voltages -using the same
dielectric. If it is necessary to charge the condenser quickly a higher
voltage is needed than if more time can be taken. Hence, the closer the
condenser plates the greated the Effect gained - other circumstances remaining
the same.
2) DIELECTRIC CONSTANT The second factor is the ability of the material
chosen as a dielectric to store electrical energy. There are many kinds
of dielectrics: glass, mica, rubber, paper, bakelite, air, ceramics, and
many of the plastics. A dielectric is any material which opposes the flow
of an electric current and at the same time is capable of storing the
electrical energy as an "elastic stress." The action resembles the squeezing
of a soft rubber ball. The muscles in your hand represent the electric
voltage. They squeeze the ball's sides together. The sides remain squeezed
until your muscles release their pressure, then the sides jump back into
their original shape.
A dielectric will absorb an electric charge until its capacity has
been reached. Then it will either hold that charge as long as the charging
force is present, or it will rupture and the pressure will leak away,
or if the accumulated pressure becomes greater than the charging pressure
it will discharge itself back into the charging circuit! This last can
raise the devil! Some dielectrics are capable of absorbing a great quantity
of electrical energy if that energy is applied slowly at moderate pressure,
but they break down if called upon to act quickly. Other dielectrics,
like lead-free glass, can be charged and discharged thousands of times
a second at high pressures. The measure of a dielectric's ability is called
the "K" of the material. The higher the K, the greater is the Biefeld-Brown
Effect.
3) INTENSITY A third factor in creating intensity of the Effect is
the AREA of the dielectric's charging plates. The discs are used edgewise,
and the greater their area, the greater the Effect obtained.
4) VOLTAGE A fourth factor has to do with the VOLTAGE, or pressure
used to charge the condenser's plates. The higher the voltage, the greater
the Effect. Also, the higher the voltage the shorter the time required
to charge a given condenser size. But the voltage must not be so high
as to puncture the dielectric, the condenser is permanently, or temporarily
ruined - depending upon its ability to "heal" itself. Solid dielectrics
cannot heal themselves. Fluids heal themselves almost as soon as punctured.
(the reason for using OIL filled capacitors...Vangard)
5) MASS (SURFACE AREA) The fifth and last factor is the MASS ofthe
dielectric. The greater the mass, the larger the Effect. These points
all are important. They make it clear that by a not too complicated electrical
arrangement which allows the changing of many positive pole positions
at will an astronautical vehicle could be controlled. Since a circle contains
the greatest number of square units of surface for a given dimension (a
torus has even greater surface area...Vangard), it seems obvious that
a shallow, disc-shaped vehicle could use this type of energy field to
greatest advantage. It would be charged differently than the models because
it could carry its own charging equipment on board.
The input energy of some models tested in California quite some time
ago (they do not represent present experimental attainments) was about
50 watts, or the requirements of a small light bulb. The weight of these
units was about 1200 grams, or around 42 ounces, or near two and 6/10
pounds. The efficiency of propulsion was 2%. Unless scientific findings
are discounted, we must assume the voltage of atmospheric electricity
rises as the distance from the earth's surface increases. At low altitudes
we sometimes record an increase of 100 volts for EVERY THREE FEET IN ELEVATION.
But this increase RISES WITH ALTITUDE.
It is believed that in that ionosphere a potential of 100 volts may
occur within only four inches! Even though a discoid-shaped vehicle could
be relatively thin, compared to its diameter, still it would be many times
four inches thick. Hence, it would be subjected to tremendous differentials
of external electric pressure over its extreme dimensions. How will this
affect the Biefeld-Brown Effect - or any electrically propelled vehicle?
Some say, not at all. Others see it as a sizable barrier! Anti-gravity
devices apparently are being experimented with from a number of directions.
Once any one of them becomes practical a whole new horizon will unfold
before mankind. At the present time (1958) some 19 patent applications,
covering the Biefeld-Brown Effect and its various applied forms, are being
worked on. A new laboratory is also being built. Will Mr. Brown be the
first Earthman to build and fly a FLYING SAUCER?
Vangard notes.. The Law of Equilibrium includes Density. All things
Rise or Fall to their own Density. This density can consist of energy
in many forms, electric, magnetic, tachyon, etc. Note the remark regarding
the higher voltage potentials in the upper atmosphere. Both the Brown
disc and the Searle disc rely on very high voltage potentials to provide
lift. The question is whether the electricity seeks its own upper atmosphere
level or does it cause some kind of stress in some other type of energy
to cause repulsion from the Earth surface or ATTRACTION TO A LAYER EQUIVALENT
TO ITS OWN.
