AI Thread Summary
Electrogravitics refers to a concept related to anti-gravity devices that utilize electrostatics to repel charged objects. The term has been associated with the work of Thomas Townsend Brown, who conducted experiments suggesting a reduction in gravitational effects, though these claims remain unproven. Critics argue that attempts to replicate his findings, such as NASA's, were flawed due to inadequate experimental setups. The discussion highlights skepticism regarding the validity of electrogravitics, labeling it as a failed hypothesis. Overall, the concept lacks substantial scientific backing and is often dismissed as pseudoscience.

A new word.
 
Oo, oo, my go!

What exactly is quantasmutation?

Did a quick websearch. It seems 'electrogravitics' is a general term applied to 'anti-gravity' devices (they probably proove GM wrong or something). Anywho, it's clear to see they just employ electrostatics to essentially repel a charged object from a high tension supply of some description.

don't pay any attention to such words...it is rubbish that has never been proven...i am sure this is another Podkletnov-invention

IndustriaL, do you want to defy gravity? Just stand up. It's amazing how your head doesn't fall under the influence of gravity.
 
I thought that podkletnov got at most a 2.1% reduction in 'gravity', No?

He had used a dual layer Yttrium barium copper oxide for the disk...From what I understood the two different layers (crystal structures) formed because of how quickly the one side of the disk was cooled. When NASA replicated his experiment they just generally assumed that since there is a very large conductive difference between the two layers, that they could use an entirely different element for one of the layers...for costs sake.

I am not as knowledgeable as some people on this forum I am sure, that aside I found NASA's review of his work to be piss-poor, and their saying that they found nothing is nearly worthless. I would have liked to see someone who took it seriously review it, not to discredit the hard working folks over @ NASA, but after reading through their review I came to the conclusion that should have tried to get ahold of the original disk in the first place...I am assuming that it is/was the property of Moscow U? Failing that if they could not fabricate it at least out of the same elements, then they should NOT have done the experiment at all! IMO they discredited his work with a setup that was destined to fail from the beginning.
 


As per an alternate thread.

"Electrogravitic" already has a definition: Electrogravitics is a failed hypothesis proposed by Thomas Townsend Brown and Brown's subsequent extensive experimentation and demonstrations of the effect.
