Subject: Re: [Vo]:Morton effect, take two
As far as my tests have been able to determine, the
Morton effect is pretty conventional; nothing like
gravitational.
Podkletnov voltage range was between 500 KV to 2 MV. Below 500 KV they did
not report. My assumption is that it starts penetrating above that voltage.
IOW, I'm wondering if below 500KV the penetration effect either doesn't
work, or it was too weak to report.. .
(They also reported up to 10,000 amps, but I don't think we need to go that
high in amperage!)
A 1 tesla field of any reasonable size is not easy to
come by. I suppose I could pilfer some big donut
magnets from...er...speakers...
In figure 1 in Podkletnov's paper are shown two electromagnets. One
surrounds the SC emitter, the one other surrounds the whole housing. I
believe they turned them on just long enough to focus the main discharge, at
least they must have done so for that for that larger one. Since the larger
one was 0.9 Tesla I will assume it utilized some kind of capacitive
discharge to power it. If you are operating in atmosphere however, you will
certainly *not* be constrained by requirements for such a powerful or large
electromagnet.
I would replace Podkletnov's Superconducting magnet "emitter" with one of
those small 50 MGO NIB permanent magnets- to utilize as your "emitter". The
shape of that emitter NIB magnet may be important, but if it's small and
round enough it may not need any focusing electromagnet surrounding it at
all. Or maybe it will, but try it with a small spherical magnet first . The
larger main focusing electromagnet however will probably still be required.
Perhaps using Morton's AND Podkletnov focusing methods (combined) is best?
The discharge path in the Morton setup turns 90 degrees just before hitting
the anode. The Podkletnov beam however was directly in-line to the anode.
Which technique works best may require investigation.
Even if you discharge from a spherical surface, power it > 500 KV and a much
larger current and I'm not sure how many methods can get us there. Do your
caps total 500 KV ? No matter how we get the higher voltage and higher
current it will have to be a capacitive discharge to get the kind of power
required, power for that short interval of spark discharge. The shorter the
interval, the greater the instantaneous power.
