Recent reports have claimed that high-temperature superconductors can interact with gravitation under certain conditions such that the weight of test masses changes in non-relativistic experiments. One prominent report, unique in being peer-reviewed, is by Podkletnov and Nieminen (1992). This paper was followed by a report...

During the 2003 STAIF Conference, the author proposed a theory based upon gravitational anomalies, that would use a universal gravitation model with a radial force term coupled with angular momentum. This extended efforts from Murad and Baker, Dyatlov who explains angular momentum effects as consequences of a ‘spin’ field...

A propellantless propulsion experiment design and testing plan are described. The concept was initially presented during the Space Technology and Applications International Forum of 2001 and the experiment was initially presented during the Joint Propulsion Conference of 2001...

The essence of any propulsion concept is to overcome gravity. Anti-gravity is a natural means to achieve this. Thus, the technology to pursue anti-gravity, by using superheavy elements, may provide a new propulsion paradigm. The theory of superluminal relativity provides a hypothesis for existence of elements with an atomic number...

The efficient generation of High-Frequency Gravitational Waves (HFGW) has been identified as the required breakthrough that will lead to new forms of space propulsion. The gravitational wave (GW) counterpart of the LASER, termed Gravitational-wave LASER or “GASER” is the quantum approach to high efficiency...

A vacuum energy experiment is discussed, based on the dark energy research funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of High Energy Physics. Ideally, the experiment may be able to detect whether the vacuum energy spectrum actually has a frequency-cubed distribution, if there are any resonances, and the spectrum cutoff...

Mass fluctuations expected on the basis of the strong form of Mach’s principle (the gravitational induction of mass) are briefly revisited together with their use to produce “propellantless” stationary thrusts in systems of high voltage capacitors that are “shuttled” by a means other than the applied high frequency electric field that produces...

An interesting project was revealed to the author during an association with several Russian scientists from Novosibirsk. These investigations examined and applied a theory to various anomalies to try and understand what these events may represent. Data were collected by Dmitriev to quantify these events and identify...

A propellantless propulsion system based on Machian Effects with Rotary Magnification (MERM) may provide a significantly easier and cheaper approach to interstellar flight than antimatter assisted inertial confinement fusion (AAICF) propulsion systems or laser sails. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the potential...

We study the interplay of Einstein’s Gravitation (GR) and Maxwell’s Electromagnetism, where the distribution of energymomentum is not presently known (The Feynman Lectures, Vol 2, Chapter 27, section 4). As Feynman himself stated, one might in principle use Einstein’s equations of GR to find such a distribution...
