Remarkably, our intuitive sense of mass coupling to aether is
backward, or "inside out" as Frank prefers. Help me out here
Jones, remember the wood flywheel we discussed in Frank's group?
It's the low density matter which affected the Beta-atm. most.
Morgan's flywheel??? Damn faulty organic storage system.
I think the 'coupling' is related more to geometry at the scale of
a few nanometers than to actual density - is that what you are
referring to? A rotating mass, with or without a magnetic field,
apparently reduces the Beta-aether "viscosity" for a period of
time. Wood may work better than lead or ferrite, but is probably
not optimum. The magnetic field may affect another dimensional
constraint.
The way this could happen would be if the Beta-atmosphere
"viscosity" has physical effects which can be polarized - both in
x and y planes and also circularly polarized. When "being
polarized on two planes," perhaps enough aether drag is eliminated
by the ideal material (could be wood or something else) to give a
small hope for OU - even with nothing else. Prior rotation lowers
one plane of polarization for a certain time, or maybe two if
magnetized.
Perhaps an ideal material is a low density magnetic material - who
knows? The Aspden effect is not robust under any circumstances.
It would demand the we exist physically in 4-spatial dimensions,
of course, but all aether would need to reside there (4-space)
anyway given the Michelson-Morley expeiment.

One way to test this would be to shine unpolarized laser light on
the circumference of a mirrored rotating cylinder - the laser
light which is reflected should be polarized by virtue of the
rotation only.
