                         MagnetoGravitics (MG)

It has been known for a long period of time that rotating masses
create magnetic fields (See the Blackett Effect).  This effect is
observed even in materials that are normally not magnetic (such as
ceramics [as is evidenced by the spin induced magnetism seen in high
rev, high temperature turbines]).  Indeed, in Maxwell's definition of
magnetism, this property is defined as a resultant effect of spin
moment J.  The question therefore is, how does a magnetic field evolve
from just rotating a mass?

Consider this analogy, we will envision a sphere rigidly mounted on a
vertical shaft such that the shaft "spears" the central axis of the
sphere up to its center.  The material of the sphere consists of a
rigid loosely spun fiber, such that a fluid may pass (under pressure)
through the sphere.  The central shaft is hollow, and is connected to
a vacuum pump.  When turned on, the vacuum pump draws air from the
outside of the sphere into the central region by evacuating this
region and exhausting this air elsewhere.  When the pump is turned on,
a pressure gradient will be generated symmetrically around the sphere.
In all basic respects, this pressure gradient will mimic the
properties of a gravitational field (thus we will call this, flow
induced pseudo-gravity [FIPG]).  We note that the pressure gradient is
directed radially (inward towards the center) at this point.

So what will happen to this inward flow if we spin our sphere?  We
find that by rotating the sphere, we have introduced rotational drag
component in the inward flow of air (in General Relativity this drag
effect is present in all rotational systems and is called reference
frame dragging, or the Thirring/Lense Effect).  Whereas for the case
of the non-rotating FIPG the iso-pressure lines are radially
symmetrical, for the rotational case these lines it takes on the
classic shape of the mapped magnetic lines of force.  We also note
that the curl (pattern of rotation) is opposite at each pole, again
consistent with magnetism.

For the above discussion, the magnitude of each component (radial
inward flow, verses, rotational flow) is strictly based on the induced
pressure gradient, and the rate of rotation.  We can clearly see that
if we spin up (or down) our sphere at a very high rate, the inward
flow will be temporarily diverted (swept up) into the rotationally
induced motion due to viscous sweep on the boundary layers of the
sphere.   During this period, the interior region of the sphere will
see a reduced inward flow in air and as a result the FIPG is reduced
during this period.  This is phenomena of magneto-gravitics.

So does this discussion match any experimental evidence, consider the
recent experiments carried out by E. Podkletnov, R. Nieminen, and A.D.
Levit (1992 to 1995).  In these, the weight of several sample
specimens was observed to demonstrate a reduction of 0.05 percent in
the presence of a super-conducting disk (r = 72.5 mm, t = 6 mm) of
high-Te material refrigerated by liquid helium and was levitating over
a solenoid due to the Meissner effect.  This reduction was increased
to 0.3 percent by rotating the disk by use of lateral alternating
magnetic fields.  In another experiment, the configuration consisted
of a super-conducting disk ring encased in a stainless steel cryostat
filled with liquid helium, and sample specimens of different
compositions placed at distance of 25 to 1000 mm from the cryostat.
With the ring rotating at 5000 rpm, the measured weight loss was 0.3
to 0.5 percent.  This effect was "increased" to 1.9 to 2.1 percent
during the reduction of speed of the disk, induced by changing the
current in the solenoid.   It was noted by G. Modanese (MPI-PhT/95-44)
that the effect appeared linked to induced gradients:

    "Moreover, the experimental results show, as mentioned, that there
    is no shielding when the disk is not levitating, but is placed
    over a fixed support, and that the effect IS STRONGER in the
    presence of rotation and when the rotation speed is decreased.  We
    take these as indications that the shielding depends on THE
    GRADIENTS of the condensate, rather than on its absolute
    strength."

A friend and colleague mentioned to me that this effect was also noted
during the "pulsed" discharge of the capacitors into the magnetic
coils of the Theta-Pinch Fusion reactor experiments conducted a Los
Alamos in the 1970's.  He stated that it was noted that the entire
assembly would appear to "jump" in response to the pulsed high
intensity magnetic fields induced in the toriodal assembly.   He
further stated that this was associated with an anomalous reduction in
weight of the toroidal assembly during firings.
