Dear Horace, Thanks for the response. This is my initial foray into the area. I disagree about the polarizing beam splitter - it transmits, not absorbs. Losses and attenuation can be minimised. Yes signal will be subject to noise but this can be error corrected out. As long as some signal get

Gentlemen, I think it ws back in about 2000 or so that I came across the website of the ATG group that had developed the little nested toroid experiment. Don't recall the name of the fellow I corresponded with briefly, but I spent maybe 3 weeks trying to replicate their set-up and claims. It

Hey Nick. I'm still of the opinion that leakage flux is the causative agent here, at least for the conductive material being moved by the coils. I can see your explaination would make sense for the lesser magnitude effect seen with the non-conductors, although I would expect some effect due to

Keith, After I potted the unit, as I recall, I lost the effect on all materials. As metals go, I had tried little niblets, BBs and rods of copper, aluminum, and bismuth. Now I DID NOT try a long rod suspended horizontally through the holes of a horizontal facing toroid pair, howevah. I agree

If gravity, gravitons, had a speed c_g less than the speed of light c, and gravity began with the big bang, then objects exceeding c_g at the time of the big bang could outrun gravity itself. It seems reasonable that c_g = c. Even if in all cases c_g = c, objects near the speed of c or even just
