Beamship 3 Design
In
Applied Electrogravitics latest model, Beamship Variation
III, (six-foot diameter) the power to weight ratio is increased
to 1.125 watts/gram. The estimated weight requirement is
to lift 500 grams total for a battery-driven power supply.
That works out to 562 Watts. This we can easily supply in
an onboard power package. This is without any of our materials
improvements which are planned, and just straight DC current.
Pulsed at a low frequency, Anderson believes he can reduce
input power by up to 3 or 4 times less!
About Russell Anderson
Unbeknownst
to most, while Naudin, myself, and other builders were pushing
the limits of Lifter-tech in 2002 with our 3-foot designs,
Russell was busy demonstrating a 9-foot, single-cell, structurally
reinforced Lifter in the fields of Pennsylvania. Not only
did he have a unique structural design, but it was the most
significant 'working' deviation from the traditional Lifter
design when it was built. Nobody else was using structural
reinforcements like his, and he was building 2x larger designs
back before anybody else had even thought of going in that
direction.
Not
to stop there, Russell ALSO designed his 9-footer so that
it could be broken down for storage and transport in his
car. That's a significant step forward in compartmentalizing
the design for greater mobility. By connecting wires at
the end of each side of his Lifter, he could rapidly connect
the sides of the Lifter and then hook them up to his power
supply, making the Lifter ready for action in nearly any
environment.
For
those interested in a timeline of sorts, Russell has been
working off and on with Biefeld-Brown since at least the
1980's -- he recreated TT Brown's legendary spinning-disk
on a pole experiment several years ago and demonstrated
it at a conference on the East Coast.
In
terms of UFO and alt-sci, he's been into this type of technology
since 1975. Considering that I was born in '76, that's a
pretty long time to be doing work in this area, and it shows
... he's picked up knowledge from a variety of different
sources and been able to use his experience to integrate
it into a cohesive body of knowledge that he works forward
from for future experiments.
Russell
was also the first person to test airflow with the Lifters.
Again, during the height of the debate about how much air
the Lifter actually moved while operating, Russell was quietly
working away with a stadium-sized fog-machine in his apartment.
I have a video clip of his showing clouds of roiling vapor
drifting across his apartment while the 9-foot Lifter he
built is busy scraping the walls while hovering inside.
I can send you the clips if you want -- picture a small
apartment containing a Universal Studios-style themepark
attraction floating in the middle of it.
Russell
realized early on that the hobbyist market would be the
initial breakthrough for AG technology into the mainstream,
and he began selling kits immediately for the larger-sized
Lifter designs for an unbelievably low initial price. In
fact, he may not remember that at one point I insisted that
he charge more for his kits, because his prices were so
low that he couldn't even cover his own labor cost (ie:
he was building them for free). Russell kept plugging away
at them, and despite the low intial demand he kept his chin-up
and eventually was able to build a market for kits that
he now sells regularly.
Russell's
foray into the SEG technology began years ago, and the reason
that he's often accused of 'quoting verbatim' from Searl's
book is because he quite literally memorized them all. In
fact, talking with him on the subject of the SEG can often
be frustrating, because its like having a discussion with
an encyclopedia of Searl information. His latest project,
the 'Glass SEG', is something that he talks about without
realizing that the majority of people even in the AG community
have never heard of this device (keeping in mind that I
interviewed John Thomas for an extensive article on Searl
tech).
Russell
is a person that would give his last dollar to a friend
in need, and we must commend him for his dedication to both
the newsgroup and his pursuit of the truth. While I tend
to disagree with some of his views on this technology, I
nonetheless greatly admire his integrity and self-sacrifice.
