There is a reprint of an article that appeared
in "Interavia, Volume XI - No. 5, 1956" a March 23, 1956
article titled "Towards Flight without Stress or Strain...
or Weight" This article has a photograph of T.T.Brown holding one of
his flying disks, and another photograph of the flying
disk by itself. There is some info on the opperation of
the electrokinetic apparatus.

Ltd., a division of Aviation Studies Ltd. This includes six
appendices with papers by various authors including the text from T.
Townsend Brown's 1929 gravitor patent.

Many documents on Gravitoelectrics/Electrogravitation refer back
to the 1952 Project Winterhaven. That project is said to contain
information on a Mach 3 Combat Disc. Also, have any records related
to other Projects with Mr. T.T. Brown been produced. I have seen his
Lab notes 1 - 3 - 4. I was looking for 2 - 5 & 6. Also, the Bahnson
et al Brown lab notes during his research days at Bahnson Labs in North
Carolina 1957-60 period or about. I have a poor chopped up Lab Video
on the subject. I'm looking for the full video the 45 minute one. Mine
is a mere 23 minutes.
I have yet to track down an original document entitled: "The Flying Saucer:
The Application of the Biefeld-Brown Effect to the Solution of Space
Navigation" by Mason Rose. This 50's document details how a flying saucer
operates. I have a copy of a re-write and it is outstanding.
And I'm also looking for a document as seen on SIGHTINGS TV entitled:
"PROJECT SILVER BUG" the 1955 USAF Flying Saucer Tests.
Also, seeking a copy of PROJECT WINTERHAVEN by Thomas Townsend Brown on
a MACH-3 Combat Disc. The British had a stake in as well as the USAF.
It to is from the 1950's.

The Biefeld-Brown (spelling is correct) effect is described generally
as the anomalous tendency of high voltage flat capacitors to display
movement towards (usually) the positive pole. Effects are most often
seen at potentials above 50kv. Thomas Townsend Brown held a few patents
on devices using it. It's very controversial and is part of the subject
of "electrogravitics", as some say that the BB effect is actually polar
gravity peeking out from behind a high electrical gradient within a
dielectric. Claims are that the mass of the dielectric is a factor in
the magnitude of the effect as well as the capacitance and the gradient
intensity. Should be fairly easy for the home-workshop experimenter to
get a look at, but the difficulty seems to be in isolating the effect
from ionic wind and simple electrostatic propulsive effects. Skeptics
claim that those forces are all it ever was, but a few reports indicate
that they may be wrong.

>From Richard Feynman's Lectures on Physics we learn that there is
intrinsic field energy and momentum density associated with a static
electro-magnetic field configuration. When there is a change in the
magnetic field, this field energy and momentum can be directly
converted into kinetic energy and mechanical momentum. Feynman
illustrates this with an electromagnetic carousel paradox. In this
paradox, a dielectric disk (which is embedded with small charged spheres
along its circumference) rotates without any apparent "counter" torque
in the system. Before this rotation occurs, the dielectric disk is
immersed in a static magnetic field. The subsequent rotation occurs as
a consequence to reducing the previously static magnetic field to zero.
The angular momentum and rotational kinetic energy comes directly from
the initial static magnetic field.

A Report on the T. Townsend Brown Conference:
"Focus on Unconventional Energies: A Symposium on Electrical Propulsion &
the Technology of Electro-Gravity"
April 15-16, 1994 Philadelphia Community College, Philadelphia, PA
This conference was held in tribute to Thomas Townsend Brown and I feel that
it was a great success. About 15 speakers and 80 attendees provided a brief
overview of Zero Point Energy theories, Free Energy devices, electrostatics
theory, and antigravity experiments and documentation. Attendees came from
as far away as California and Washington.
The conference program advertised the following topics: "A Review of
Advanced Energy Devices: Evidence, Promises, and Dangers" by Patrick Bailey
(VP INE); "Thomas Townsend Brown's Electro-Gravities Research in the 1950's"
by Tom Valone (Integrity Institute); "The Role of Electro-Statics" by
Charles Yost (Electric Spacecraft Journal); "Thomas Townsend Brown's
Research: A Challenge to Modern Science" by Elizabeth Rauscher (Tecnic
Research Laboratories); "Electro-Gravitic Theory: Explaining the Operating
Principle of Brown's Electric Disks" by Paul LaViolette (The Starburst
Foundation); "A Panel Discussion on Biefeld-Brown and Beyond;" "Vortices
in the Zero Point Energy" by Moray King; "Design of a Compact Marx Generator
Triggered by a Blumlein Capacitor" by George Hathaway; "Thomas Townsend
Brown's Final Gravito-Electric Research" by Josh Reynolds (New Wave
Partners); "Townsend Brown Effects Reviewed" by Ron Kovac; "Pushing the
Boundaries: Electro-Hydro Dynamic Potentials ..." by Henry Monteith, and
"Gravity Drop Tests" by Don Kelly (SEA).

I have the audio tapes from the T.T. Brown conference, 11 tapes
in all, and I got a lot of good information from it.

There is a connection between Townsend Brown and UFOs. Brown was the
founder of NICAP (National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena)
Project Skylight, and Brown served as Vice Chairman pro tempore during
during NICAP's organizational period in 1956.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Quotation from a letter to William Moore from T. Townsend Brown dated
12/17/76 --
"I am still working on petroelectricity and the project is
housed largely at Stanford Research Institute with additional assistance
being provided by the University of California - Berkeley and the Ames
Research center of NASA. Unfortunately, under the circumstances, while
this project is being evaluated for funding by ERDA we should not and
cannot publish details..."
"Your next question concerns the airfoils. As far as I am
aware, no rf is radiated. There is, of course, a static d.c. field
which accompanies the airfoils in flight."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is very interesting to note that Townsend Brown was the pioneer in
this field, and was not able to obtain very much support for his work
until the 1950's. During that time, there was much discussion of
gravity and antigravity within the aerospace industry and in the
magazine "Aviation Week." Then the Gravity Research Group (GRG)
published a detailed summary report of their review of research into
"Electrostatic Motion, Dynamic Counterbary, and Barycentric Control"
(i.e. "Antigravity"). This report is the last public report that
any researchers have been able to find for us that deals with the
physical effects of electrostatics, electrodynamics, and gravity control.
(It is also worth noting that this report was found in the Wright
Patterson Air Force Base Library "TL 565 A9" and was not listed in the
library catalog). So, after the mid-1950's to the present, no other
information regarding the technology of electrodynamics and its effect
on gravity has been able to be found in any of the un-classified U.S.
literature.

I have the FIVE (5) lab books of TT Brown's R&D at the Bahnson Co. in
Salem, N. Carolina 1958-9. I also have some other letters and drawings of
the lab plus the only surviving 16mm colour film of the various stages of
his work at Bahnson Labs.
I was in contact with Dr Brown in 1983 by phone and by mail. He died of
lung cancer not long after in Oct of 1985. He told me that a lot of people
including Bill Morre had attributed more to his work than he had really
done. In particular, he was only marginally connected with the Philadelphia
Experiment as such. His main theme of R&D was dielectrics and the
Biefeld-Brown effect. He was not an electromagnetics man... only
electrostatics.
>From 1983 to 1991 or so I was in frequent communication with J. Frank King
who was TT Brown's boss at the Bahnson Co. J. Frank was a good man and a
good friend of mine. He, too, died in Dec 1989. Before he died I was given
rights to reproduce and share letters, files, drawings, patent submissions,
films etc from his personal files on TT Brown, George Adamski, Dr Ilka, T
Henry Moray and others.
J Frank warned me a long time ago to take what TT Brown said with a 'grain
of salt' because Townsend had a habit of 'stretching the truth' a bit to
get funding which he was always in need of.... So, I warn you now in good
faith: If you seek lost or hidden technology in Brown's lab notes, I don't
think you will find it there; however, I am prepared to make photocopies
available to you.
There are about 750 pages in all. I would need to charge you AUS$50 per
notebook which would include the air mail charges as well. In US$ that
would be about US$38 per notebook. The film is available as are the
notebooks (I think) from The Electric Spacecraft Journal in the US
(Charles Yost on 704-252-8083, FAX 202-683-3511.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
As far as I know, the last thing Brown published before his
death was, "On The Possibilities of Optical-Frequency Gravitational
Radiation", 2/14/1976 and 8/30/1976. I don't know where it was
originally published. But you can get copy from:
Rex Research, P.O. Box 19250, Jean NV 89019
It is part of NR 046-BT2/B17-BRV "T. Brown: Petro-Voltaics"
(Gravito-Electric Conversion). Most people think Brown was just
into flying capacitors he was into much much more...
