 Biefeld-Brown effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Explanation of the Biefeld-Brown Effect as a gravitoelectric effect by Takaaki Musha
The Biefeld-Brown effect is an effect that was discovered by Thomas Townsend Brown (USA) and Dr.
The effect relies on corona discharge, which allows air molecules to become ionized near sharp points and edges – this belief is perpetuated in the construction of pointy lightning rods historically (though rounded or spherical topped rods are better than the pointed rods).

 Transcending the Control System: The Biefeld-Brown Effect
Nevertheless, for those wishing to debunk the Biefeld-Brown effect by attributing it entirely to ion wind, it must be pointed out that closed capacitors, the cellular gravitators, also self-accelerate without any ion wind effects.
Brown’s 1927 patent, however, described a self-contained device that exhibited no ion wind effects and relied solely upon the electrogravitational action arising from the electric dipoles within the gravitator-capacitor.
Some sources state that the greater the mass, the stronger the electrogravitational effect, but this is debatable since Brown never mentioned this and said instead that only the gravitational potential energy increases with mass since E = m g h.

 The real Biefeld Brown effect
The main problem in analysing the real Biefeld Brown effect, is that when tested in air, these devices will be acted upon by the air ions, which will contribute to thrust and thus result in erroneous results of the measured thrust.
It is now clear why the Biefeld Brown effect depends on the mass of the dielectric, other than the 'conventional physics' parameters making up capacitance.
Biefeld, Thomas Townsend Brown found that highly charged capacitors, when properly suspended, showed a tendency to move relative to the gravitational force.

 Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Thomas Townsend Brown
In 1921, Brown discovered what was later called the Biefeld-Brown effect while experimenting with a Coolidge X-ray tube.
Though the effect he discovered has been proven to exist by many others, Brown's work was controversial due to the fact that others and even he himself believed that this effect could explain the existence of UFOs.
Brown noticed that there was a force exerted by the tube when it was connected to a high-voltage source.

 Rose Flying Saucer application of the Biefeld brown effect from The Encyclopedia of free energy,energy21.org,energy 21 org Geoff Egel
A proper interpretation of this theory is prevented because both scientist and layman are conditioned to think in electromagnetic concepts, whereas the Biefeld-Brown effect relates to electrogravitation.
Brown did not start with round objects, in fact, the first object that he flew was a triangle, the next a square, then a square with the edges cut off, and finally a round shaped saucer.
Biefeld wondered if an electrical condenser, hung by a thread, would have a tendency to move when it was given a heavy electrical charge.

 Turning Off Gravity
The Biefeld Brown effect is thought to be shown with the behavior of a highly charged capacitor suspended on a cord.
The researcher concluded that the Biefeld Brown effect was a factor involved in a Lifterand#8217;s flight, while the Ionic Wind effect provided some if not most of the power used in a Lifterand#8217;s levitation.
As before mentioned, one theory on the origin of the thrust produced by lifters is the Biefeld Brown Effect.

Brown's and similar work, as well as credible theoretical and experimental studies relating to the Biefeld-Brown effect, are reviewed.
Boundary effects arising from the presence of induced surface charges on the walls of the vacuum chamber surrounding the test devices were significant, and had to be taken into account in using the torsion pendulum system to make thrust force measurements.
Although in public announcements NASA says this effect is due to nothing but ionized wind, an internal NASA memo contradicts this by stating that there are unknowns and they are to be researched.

 The Thomas Townsend Brown Site
Brown's work became very controversial due to the similarity between his work and what is believed to be the propulsion method of some observed UFO's.
Thomas Townsend Brown, an American physicist, was a leader in developing theories concerning the link between electromagnetic and gravitational fields theorized by Dr. Albert Einstein.
He advanced from theory to application with the development of solid and disc-shaped apparatuses which are believed to have created and utilized temporary, localized gravitational fields.

 PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT
The point of departure between Brown and most orthodox science is that Brown firmly believed in the existence of an observable coupling effect between gravity and electricity and that this coupling effect is precisely what is being demonstrated by his devices.
Brown was ecstatic, for not only had he succeeded in proving that his discs flew more efficiently without air, but he had also shown that the speed and efficiency of his craft could be increased by providing greater voltage to the dielectric plates.
But then again, this era of Brown's work pales into insignificance when you take a look at the development work he was involved in at his Electrokinetics Inc. labs (see Electrohydrodynamic page) and at the Bahnson Laboratory in the early 1960's (see Bahnson (Adamski) Ufo page)...

The most interesting result of Brown's work is his controversial claim that such Grad E systems will continue to produce thrust in a hard vacuum, albeit the thrust is significantly reduced (by many orders of magnitude).
It was the physicist T.T. Brown who probably held the most patents pertaining to these Grad E propulsive concepts.
Thus if the shaping electrode is positively charged, electron flow is enhanced creating and ion wind effect.

 Lifter Aerospace Technology Overview
This type of propulsion would consist of the Biefeld-Brown effect acting as an enhancer on existing ion-wind effects to create a more efficient methd of displacing air by changing the dynamics of the ion-wind interaction.
Although DeSeversky's design functioned effectively for the ion-wind component of the propulsion, it doesn't seem to have the effectiveness for the Biefeld-Brown effect propulsion that the newer Lifter-designs have.
The definition of "true" Antigravity would be that it actually reduces or negates the effects of gravity on the prototype.

Since 1923 Brown and his family have spent nearly $250,000 of their own funds on experiments and research into the mysteries of that strangest of strange electrical phenomenon, the "Biefeld-Brown Effect".
Although the Effect may have been recognized first by Dr. Biefeld, a greater part of the development research and ALL the practical application of it has been carried on by Brown - mostly at his own expense, over a period of more than 30 years.
The higher the K, the greater is the Biefeld-Brown Effect.

 The Biefeld Brown Effect and the Global Electric Circuit
Based on an analysis of experimental data taken on the Biefeld Brown effect, a case is made for describing this effect as a secondary electrostatic effect related to the global electric field.
It is concluded that: 1) the Biefeld Brown Effect is a real effect that is likely electrostatic in nature, and 2) its potential propulsion utility may therefore be limited to the volume between earth's surface and the ionosphere.
Abstract: A comparison of the measured Biefeld Brown Effect and the measured global circuit electric field shows several parallels.

The Biefeld-Brown effect is a somewhat exotic electrical effect.
It is typical to combine the effects of these and other effects into an effective mission delta-v.
For a mission, for example, when launching from or landing on a planet, the effects of gravitational attraction and any atmospheric drag must be overcome by using fuel.

According to T.T. Brown, the higher the K of dialectric between the electrodes, the stronger the Biefeld-Brown effect.

In addition, this more recent conference paper demonstrated that the effects could be traced back to corona wind phenomena.
In future calls for proposals or papers on this topic from the BPP Project, the judging criteria places a greater emphasis on the reliability of the results than on the viability of the effect.

The "top" charge is expelled into the surounding environment while the "bottom" charge is maintained within the device, but the "bottom" charge force-fields extend into the external environment, pulling the device "up"
