  1. The 1956 intelligence paper "Electrogravitics Systems" (prepared by the 
     Special Weapons Study Unit of Aviation Studies Ltd., a UK-based aviation
     industry intelligence firm). It was declassified from a confidential
     status some time prior to 1985 and entered the public domain as a
     result of an interlibrary loan request placed through the
     Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Technical Library by Dr. LaViolette.

  2. The 1956 paper "The Gravitics Situation" (prepared by Gravity Rand
     Ltd., a division of Aviation Studies Ltd.  This includes six appendices
     with papers by various authors including the text from T. Townsend
     Brown's 1928 gravitor patent.

  3. A paper by Banesh Hoffman entitled "Negative Mass as a Gravitational
     Source of Energy in the Quasistellar Radio Sources.

  4. A collection of diagrams reproduced from various patents by Townsend
     Brown.

Also available via the above toll free numbers, and for the same price of $15 
plus $4 S/H, is the book "Subquantum Kinetics: The Alchemy of Creation" (ISBN 
0-9642025-0-6).  This book contains a full chapter that gives some background 
information on Townsend Brown's electrogravitics experiments.  Subquantum 
kinetics is a new approach to microphysical theory that utilizes concepts 
from the fields of nonlinear chemical kinetics, irreversible thermodynamics, 
and general system theory, replacing the current mechanistic foundation of 
physics with a reaction-kinetic model.  This new approach resolves a number 
of problems that plague classical and modern physics also may provide some 
insights into the electrogravitic connection that Brown was researching.

                 Excerpt from "The U.S. Antigravity Squadron"

                        by Paul A. LaViolette, Ph.D.
                       -------------------------------

Electrogravitic (antigravity) technology, under development in U.S. Air
Force black R&D programs since late 1954, may now have been put to practical
use in the B-2 Advanced Technology Bomber to provide an exotic auxiliary
mode of propulsion. This inference is based on the recent disclosure that
the B-2 charges both its wing leading edge and jet exhaust stream to a high
voltage. Positive ions emitted from its wing leading edge would produce a
positively charged parabolic ion sheath ahead of the craft while negative
ions injected into it's exhaust stream would set up a trailing negative
space charge with a potential difference in excess of 15 million volts.
According to electrogravitic research carried out by physicist T. Townsend
Brown, such a differential space charge would set up an artificial gravity
field that would induce a reactionless force on the aircraft in the
direction of the positive pole. An electrogravitic drive of this sort could
allow the B-2 to function with over-unity propulsion efficiency when
cruising at supersonic velocities.
                      
For many years rumors circulated that the U.S. was secretly developing a
highly advanced, radar-evading aircraft. Rumor turned to reality in November
of 1988, when the Air Force unveiled the B-2 Advanced Technology Bomber.
Although military spokesmen provided the news media with some information
about the craft's outward design, and low radar and infrared profile, there
was much they were silent about. However, several years later, some key
secrets about the B-2 were leaked to the press. On March 9, 1992, "Aviation
Week and Space Technology" magazine made a surprising disclosure that the
B-2 electrostatically charges its exhaust stream and the leading edges of
its wing-like body.(1) Those familiar with the electrogravitics research of
American physicist T. Townsend Brown will quickly realize that this is
tantamount to stating that the B-2 is able to function as an antigravity
aircraft.

"Aviation Week" obtained their information about the B-2 from a small group
of renegade west coast scientists and engineers who were formerly associated
with black research projects. In making these disclosures, these scientists
broke a code of silence that rivals the Mafia's. They took the risk because
they felt that it was important for economic reasons that efforts be made to
declassify certain black technologies for commercial use. Two of these
individuals said that their civil rights had been blatantly abused (in the
name of security) either to keep them quiet or to prevent them from leaving
the tightly controlled black R&D community.

Several months after "Aviation Week" published the article, black world
security personnel went into high gear. That sector of the black R&D
community received VERY STRONG warnings and, as a result, the group of
scientists subsequently broke off contact with the magazine. Clearly, the
overseers of black R&D programs were substantially concerned about the
information leaks that had come out in that article.

To completely understand the significance of what was said about the B-2,
one must first become familiar with Brown's work.  Beginning in the mid
1920's, Townsend Brown discovered that it is possible to create an
artificial gravity field by charging an electrical capacitor to a
high-voltage.(2)  He specially built a capacitor which utilized a heavy, high
charge-accumulating (high K-factor) dielectric material between its plates
and found that when charges with between 70,000 to 300,000 volts, it would
move in the direction of its positive pole. When oriented with its positive
side up, it would proceed to lose about 1 percent of it's weight.(3, 4)  He
attributed this motion to an electrostatically-induced gravity field acting
between the capacitor's oppositely charged plates.  By 1958, he had succeeded
in developing a 15 inch diameter model saucer that could lift over 110% of
its weight!(5)  Brown's experiments had launched a new field of investigation
which came to be known as electrogravitics, the technology of controlling
gravity through the use of high-voltage electric charge.
