The detection of apparent anomalous forces in the vicinity of high-Tc superconductors under non equilibrium conditions has stimulated an experimental research in which the operating parameters of the experiment have been pushed to values higher than those employed in previous attempts. The results confirm the existence of an unexpected physical interaction. An apparatus has been constructed and tested in which the superconductor is subjected to peak currents in excess of 10^4 A, surface potentials in excess of 1 MV, trapped magnetic field up to 1 T, and temperature down to 40 K. In order to produce the required currents a high voltage discharge technique has been employed. Discharges originating from a superconducting ceramic electrode are accompanied by the emission of radiation which propagates in a focused beam without noticeable attenuation through different materials and exerts a short repulsive force on small movable objects along the propagation axis. Within the measurement error (5 to 7 %) the impulse is proportional to the mass of the objects and independent on their composition. It therefore resembles a gravitational impulse. The observed phenomenon appears to be absolutely new and unprecedented in the literature. It cannot be understood in the framework of general relativity. A theory is proposed which combines a quantum gravity approach with anomalous vacuum fluctuations.

Ivan,
Were you conducting tests with one
of these? Is that why the site
was down all evening?[/B]
This is mighty peculiar. How is
it they're comparing it to grav-
ity? It seems to be a "push" ray.
In any event, if it's for real
it could lead to some extrordina-
ry technology.

Ivan,
I went to the site and looked at
the diagrams of the apparatus and
it doesn't seem as exiting as it
did at first. It's looking like
there are two sort of Van de Graff
thingies between which this effect
takes place. In other words, not
a ray at all, but simply a high
potential/low potential situation.
No spaceship propulsion that I
can see. Take a look, maybe you
can make more sense out of it.

push an object or two around on
a table top for a few minutes
every day.

An impulse gravity generator is a device that uses the principles of electromagnetism and superconductivity to create a temporary change in the gravitational force within a specific area. It is based on the use of a charged YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y} superconductor, which is a type of material that exhibits zero electrical resistance when cooled to extremely low temperatures.
An impulse gravity generator works by creating a strong magnetic field using the charged YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y} superconductor. This magnetic field interacts with the Earth's gravitational field and causes a temporary distortion, creating a localized change in the gravitational force. This effect is similar to the way a magnet can attract or repel other objects, but on a much larger and more powerful scale.
An impulse gravity generator has the potential for various applications, including aerospace technology, space propulsion, and even artificial gravity for space habitats. It could also potentially be used for lifting and moving heavy objects, as well as medical applications such as reducing the effects of osteoporosis.
One of the biggest challenges in developing an impulse gravity generator is the need for extremely low temperatures to maintain the superconducting state of the YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y} material. This requires advanced and costly cryogenic technology. Other challenges include controlling and manipulating the magnetic field and finding ways to scale up the technology for practical use.
As with any new technology, there may be ethical concerns surrounding the use of an impulse gravity generator. Some potential concerns could include the effects on the environment and the potential for misuse or unintended consequences. It is important for thorough research and testing to be conducted before any widespread implementation of this technology.
