Well done Terry - By drawing attention to the crucial anomaly of the
Aspden effect you have managed to jerk my mind out if its canyon up
onto the plateau where one can see for miles and miles.
"...when you do the Aspden re-start, regardless of which
way it first turned, it takes less energy on the second
turnup whether it's clockwise or widdershins!!!"
That is the important bit that enables us to dispense with the
three little sisters' treacle well and concentrate on what is
going on inside the magnet.
It is natural enough to approach the anomaly from the outside just
as one would approach skinning of a cat from the outside. But as
you know, there is more than one way to skin a cat. For example,
one can approach the task from the inside with a liposuction tube
inserted through a convenient orifice. <g>
The Aspden effect is so mysterious cos it is the inverse of a very
familiar effect. It's like the Shroud. It's not until one sees the
negative image that one realises that's precisely what the Shroud
is, a negative image.
You will realise what that familiar effect is when I turn the
problem inside out by bringing the field outside the metal and make
the metal copper. This will increase the inertia (mass) as the metal
spins up.
The fact that the anomaly is so weird almost guarantees it's genuine.
It's not the kind of thing Aspden could have dreamt up. So anyone
setting out to confirm it can feel they are not likely to be wasting
their time.
I'll let people digest this lot first and proffer any comments
they might wish to make before I delve into how to alter a bodies
mass (inertia) by internal rotations and the servo-mechanical
implications.
Cheers,
Frank

`They lived on treacle,' said the Dormouse, after thinking a

`They couldn't have done that, you know,' Alice gently

`So they were,' said the Dormouse; `VERY ill.'
