I received the following a few days ago. I suspect there may be
folks on this list who would find this interesting. The source is from
Anthony Craddock who organizes info for Dr Tom Bearden . the page

Try finding the original magnetic astronauts boots that were developed
by NASA. The original boots were excellent. For the acceptance tests, an
engineer clad as an astronaut walked across the bottom of a steel beam in a
high bay research area, upside down against the pull of Earth's gravity. He stepped as he walked, putting his foot
"down" and then picking it "up".
There is no problem in finding magnets strong enough to hold the astronaut
firmly in such an upside position. The problem with simple magnetic boots using
such strong magnets is that, once the foot is planted, unless he is King Kong
himself, the astronaut cannot pick up the foot again.
However, the Radus boots completely solved that problem. If the permanent
magnet fields are switched off for that foot that the astronaut wishes to lift,
he can lift it easily and take another step. Then if the fields are switched on
again as he places his foot down, this switching of the fields allows him to
walk in a manner resembling normal walking, though a little slower.
To do that switching by normal "battery and coils" would be
prohibitively bulky and heavy and awkward to say the least.
With the Radus boots, the astronaut could pick up his foot by simply switching
off the permanent magnetic fields easily. They switched on again when he placed
the foot down. And he did not have to carry a huge battery around with him, to
furnish enormous current to do that.
Well, it doesn't take a genius to see that, when you can switch a permanent
magnet's fields easily, and the magnet also has a built-in memory as did the Radus
magnets, then with a little ingenuity in switching one could use such switchable
magnets to produce a self-switching, self-powered permanent magnet motor. The
magnet, being a permanent dipole, is already a particular kind of "free
energy generator", since it continuously gates magnetic energy directly
from the vacuum due to its asymmetry in the energetic vacuum flux.
>From the energy barons' viewpoint, those Radus magnets and Radus boots had to
go, and go quickly. And go they did.
So NASA then developed the present "shuffler" kind of magnetic boots
where the astronaut can't pull his boot loose from the surface, but must
"scoot" his feet along in a sliding and painfully awkward fashion.
That way, you see, no one can use the boot magnets which now are just
rather ordinary permanent magnets, without memories and without switchable fields
to make an overunity device or a self-powering permanent magnet engine.

Radus family members have now very kindly provided photos of the original
boots, which can be seen at
