Subsequent to my previous post I searched around for articles
on the Hutchison Effect and I found this rather articulate
account by Ing.Saviour.
============================================================
The Hutchison Effect is a collection of phenomena which
were discovered accidentally by John Hutchison during
attempts to study the longitudinal waves of Tesla back
in 1979. The Hutchison Effect occurs as the result of
radio wave interferences in a 3 dimensional zone space
volume radiated by two or more high voltage sources,
usually a Van de Graff generator, and two or more Tesla
coils. The results are levitation of heavy objects,
fusion of dissimilar materials such as metal and wood
(as shown in the upper right corner of the photo), the
anomalous melting (without heating) of metals without
burning adjacent material, spontaneous fracturing of
metals (which separate by sliding in a sideways fashion),
and both temporary and permanent changes in the crystalline
structure and physical properties of metals as shown above.
The fusion of dissimilar materials, which is exceedingly
remarkable, indicates clearly that the Hutchison Effect
has a powerful influence on intermolecular forces. Dissimilar
substances such as steel and copper or wood can simply
"come together," yet the individual substances do not
dissociate. A block of wood can simply "sink into" a metal
bar, yet neither the metal bar nor the block of wood come
apart or carbonise. On the lower left corner of the photo,
you may see the imprint left over by coins which were
sitting on top of the steel bar during the effect.
The anomalous melting of metal without any evidence of
heating, burning or scorching of the adjacent materials
(usually wood) can be easily explained if one considers
the external high voltage intermediate frequency source
to be resonant with the molecular structure of the metal.
In such a case, resonance will efficiently use up the
external energy to change the metal structure, to the
next higher energy level structure which is the liquid
state. Thus the metal structure will take over liquid
properties, and any foreign solid material, such as wood
or different metal, will 'sink' into it. Once the oscillation
is switched off, the foreign material will be permanently
trapped within the solid structure. The radio wave
interferences involved in producing these effects are
produced from at least two radio sources, with the correct
frequency difference, both operating at low power.
However, the zone in which the interferences take place
is stressed by hundreds of kilovolts oscillating at the
intermediate resonant frequency.
============================================================
Now the key string is "the longitudinal waves of Tesla". It must be
these longitudinal waves which govern the Beta-atmosphere pressure
which holds materials together from the outside. Everyone is
familiar with EM transverse waves. The longitudinal waves seem to
be less well known. Indeed, I am not sure their existence is even
acknowledged other than by Tesla enthusiasts and the like. 8-)
Ing.Saviour's explanation is ingenious but I would put it somewhat
differently. As shown in....
CLAYTON, N and F.J.GRIMER. A General Approach to the Strength of
Materials. Speculations in Science and Technology, Vol.1, No.1,
pp5-13, 1978.
....all materials may be partitioned into two phases, one in
relative tension, the quasi FLUID phase, the other in relative
balancing compression, the quasi-SOLID phase. In terms of absolute
Beta-atmosphere pressure the SOLID phase is held together by the
difference in Beta-atmosphere pressure between the environmental
space outside of the material and the FLUID space inside.
A simple Alpha-atmosphere analogy will aid comprehension.
Take a large plastic bag full of tennis balls. Reducing the
air pressure within the bag to 4 psi will form the ensemble
into a material with the SOLID phase, the tennis balls, under
a relative compressive stress of +11 psi and the FLUID phase
the air between the tennis balls, under a relative tensile
stress of -11 psi. Obviously, the absolute Alpha-atmosphere
stresses on the two phases are 15 psi on the SOLID phase
and 4 psi on the FLUID phase.
Now there are two primary ways the "material" can be "melted",
i.e. the differential compression-tension prestress which holds
the material together can be eliminated.
1. The pressure on the FLUID phase inside the bag can be
increased from 4 psi to 15 psi, by heating the air for example
2. The pressure on the SOLID phase can be reduced from 15 psi
to 4 psi by reducing the external Alpha-atmospheric pressure
from 15 psi to 4 psi.
There are also secondary ways in which the "material" can be
"melted". Both pressures can be increased with the FLUID
pressure being increased 11 psi more than the SOLID pressure.
An experiment in which concrete was failed ("melted") in this
manner is described in
CLAYTON, N and F.J.GRIMER. The di-phase concept with
particular reference to concrete. Developments in Concrete
Technology, Vol.1, F.D.Lydon, ed, Applied Science Publishers,
England pp.283-318.
The other secondary way is to reduce both pressures with the
SOLID pressure being reduced 11 psi more than the FLUID pressure.
Now the Hutchison effect shows melting without heating so
presumably it is a case of reduction in the external
Beta-atmosphere pressure mediated by a large ring vortex
generated by the Tesla coils. This inferred reduction in
Beta-atmosphere pressure has been described before in the
"Beta-atmosphere and the Cavity Magnetron" thread.
Seeing is believing so it would be terrific if a way was
found to show up these ring vortices by electromagnetic
"smoke"; some kind of suitable chaff as used in world
war 2. Interestingly enough the bremsstrahlung radiation
of sonoluminescence suggests that one is actually viewing
pico electron vortices.
It is a terrible shame that Hutchison went about his
research in such a disorganised fashion. As a consequence
the research is probably as difficult to repeat as many a
Cold Fusion experiment. If the appalling neglect of
experimental evidence on the velocity of light (reported
in the article recently referred to by Jed) is anything
to go by, then even if people actually witnessed the
Hutchison effects with their own eyes they would be unable
to integrate it into their world view for want of any
acceptable explanation.
Cheers,
Frank Grimer
