                        (or How To Build a UFO)

Nikola Tesla, inventor of alternating current motors, did the basic
research for constructing electromagnetic field lift-and-drive
aircraft/space craft. From 1891 to 1893, he gave a set of lectures and
demonstrations to groups of electrical engineers. As part of each
show, Tesla stood in the middle of the stage, using his 6' 6" height,
with an assistant on either side, each 7 feet away. All 3 men wore
thick cork or rubber shoe soles to avoid being electrically grounded.
Each assistant held a wire, part of a high voltage, low current
circuit. When Tesla raised his arms to each side, violet colored
electricity jumped harmlessly across the gaps between the men. At high
voltage and frequency in this arrangement, electricity flows over a
surface, even the skin, rather than into it. This is a basic circuit
which could be used by aircraft / spacecraft.

The hull is best made double, of thin, machinable, slightly flexible
ceramic. This becomes a good electrical insulator, has no fire danger,
resists any damaging effects of severe heat and cold, and has the
hardness of armor, besides being easy for magnetic fields to pass
through.

The inner hull is covered on it's outside by wedge shaped thin metal
sheets of copper or aluminum, bonded to the ceramic. Each sheet is 3
to 4 feet wide at the horizontal rim of the hull and tapers to a few
inches wide at the top of the hull for the top set of metal sheets, or
at the bottom for the bottom set of sheets. Each sheet is separated on
either side from the next sheet by 1 or 2 inches of uncovered ceramic
hull. The top set of sheets and bottom set of sheets are separated by
about 6 inches of uncovered ceramic hull around the horizontal rim of
the hull.

The outer hull protects these sheets from being short-circuited by
wind blown metal foil (Air Force radar confusing chaff), heavy rain or
concentrations of gasoline or kerosene fumes. If unshielded, fuel
fumes could be electrostatically attracted to the hull sheets, burn
and form carbon deposits across the insulating gaps between the
sheets, causing a short-circuit. The space, the outer hull with a
slight negative charge, would absorb hits from micro-meteorites and
cosmic rays (protons moving at near the speed of light). Any danger of
this type that doesn't already have a negative electric charge would
get a negative charge in hitting the outer hull, and be repelled by
the metal sheets before it could hit the inner hull. This wouldn't
work well on a very big meteor, I might add.

The hull can be made in a variety of shapes; sphere, football, disc,
or streamlined rectangle or triangle, as long as these metal sheets,
"are of considerable area and arranged along ideal enveloping surfaces
of very large radii of curvature," p. 85. "My Inventions" , by Nikola
Tesla.

The power plant for this machine can be a nuclear fission or fusion
reactor for long range and long-term use to run a steam engine which
turns the generators. A short range machine can use a hydrogenoxygen
fuel cell to run a low-voltage motor to turn the generators,
occasionally recharging by hovering next to high voltage power lines
and using antennas mounted on the outer hull to take in the
electricity. The short-range machine can also have electricity beamed
to it from a generating plan on a long-range aircraft / spacecraft or
on the ground.

One standard for the generators is to have the same number of magnets
as field coils. Tesla's preferred design was a thin disc holding 480
magnets with 480 field coils wired in series surrounding it in close
tolerance. At 50 revolutions per minute, it produces 19,400 cycles per
second.

The electricity is fed into a number of large capacitors, one for each
metal sheet. An automatic switch, adjustable in timing by the pilot,
closes, and as the electricity jumps across the switch, back and
forth, it raises it's own frequency; a switch being used for each
capacitor.

The electricity goes into a Tesla transformer; again, one transformer
for each capacitor. In an oil tank to insulate the windings and for
cooling, and supported internally by wood, or plastic, pipe and
fittings, each Tesla transformer looks like a short wider pipe that is
moved along a longer, narrower pipe by an insulated non-electric cable
handle. The short pipe, the primary, is 6 to 10 windings (loops) of
wire co nected in series to the long pipe. The secondary is 460 to 600
windings, at the low voltage and frequency end.

The insulated non-electric cable handle is used through a set of
automatic controls to move the primary coil to various places on the
secondary coil. This is the frequency control. The secondary coil has
a low frequency and voltage end and a maximum voltage and frequency
end. The greater the frequency the electricity, the more it pushes
against the earth's electrostatic and electromagnetic fields.

The electricity comes out of the transformer at the high voltage end
and goes by wire through the ceramic hull to the wide end of the metal
sheet. The electricity jumps out on and flows over the metal sheet,
giving off a very strong electromagnetic field, controlled by the
transformer. At the narrow end of the metal sheet, most of the high-
voltage push having been given off, the electricity goes back by wire
through the hull to a circuit breaker box (emergency shut off), then
to the other side of the generators.

In bright sunlight, the aircraft / spacecraft may seem surrounded by
hot air, a slight magnetic distortion of the light. In semi-darkness
and night, the metal sheets glow, even through the thin ceramic outer
hull, with different colors. The visible light is a by-product of the
electricity flowing over the metal sheets, according to the
frequencies used.

Descending, landing or just starting to lift from the ground, the
transformer primaries are near the secondary weak ends and therefore,
the bottom set of sheets glow a misty red. Red may also appear at the
front of the machine when it is moving forward fast, lessening
resistance up front. Orange appears for slow speed. Orange-yellow are
for airplane-type speeds. Green and blue are for higher speeds. With a
capacitor addition, making it oversized for the circuit, the blue
becomes bright white, like a searchlight, with possible risk of
damaging the metal sheets involved. The highest visible frequency is
violet, like Tesla's stage demonstrations, used for the highest speed
along with the bright white. The colors are nearly coherent, of a
single frequency, like a laser.

A machine built with a set of super conducting magnets would simplify
and reduce electricity needs from a vehicle's transformer circuits to
the point of flying along efficiently and hovering with little
electricity.

When Tesla was developing arc lights to run on alternating current,
there was a bothersome high-pitched whine, whistle, or buzz, due to
the electrodes rapidly heating and cooling. Tesla put this noise in
the ultrasonic range with the special transformer already mentioned.
The aircraft / spacecraft gives off such noises when working at low
frequencies.

Timing is important in the operation of this machine. For every 3
metal sheets, when the middle one is briefly turned off, the sheet on
either side is energized, giving off the magnetic field. The next
instant, the middle sheet is energized, while the sheet on either side
is briefly turned off. There is a time delay in the capacitors
recharging themselves, so at any time, half of all the metal sheets
are energized and the other half are recharging, alternating all
around the inner hull. This balances the machine, giving it very good
stability. This balance is less when fewer of the circuits are in use.

Fairly close, the aircraft / spacecraft produces heating of persons
and objects on the ground; but by hovering over an area at low
altitude for maybe 5 or 10 minutes, the machine also produces a column
of very cold air down to the ground. As air molecules get into the
strong magnetic fields that the machine is transmitting out, the air
molecules become polarized and from lines, or strings, of air
molecules. The normal movement of the air is stopped, and there is
suddenly a lot more room for air molecules in this area, so more air
pours in. This expansion and the lack of normal air motion make the
area intensely cold.

This is also the reason that the aircraft / spacecraft can fly at
supersonic speeds without making sonic booms. As air flows over the
hull, top and bottom, the air molecules form lines as they go through
the magnetic fields of the metal sheet circuits. As the air molecules
are left behind, they keep their line arrangements for a short
time,long enough to cancel out the sonic boom shock waves.

Outside the earth's magnetic field, another propulsion system must be
used, which relies on the first. You may have read of particle
accelerators, or cyclotrons, or atom smashers. A particle accelerator
is a circular loop of pipe that, in cross-section, is oval. In a
physics laboratory, most of the air in it is pumped out. The pipe loop
is given a static electric charge, a small amount of hydrogen or other
gas is given the same electric charge so the particles won't stick to
the pipe. A set of electromagnets all around the pipe loop turn on and
off, one after the other, pushing with one magnetic pole and pulling
with the next, until those gas particles are racing around the pipe
loop at nearly the speed of or cosmic rays, and neutrons if more than
hydrogen is put in the accelerator.

At least 2 particle accelerators are used to balance each other and
counter each other's tendency to make the craft spin. Otherwise, the
machine would tend to want to start spinning, following the direction
of the force being applied to the particles. The accelerators push in
opposite directions.

As the pilot and crew travel in space, outside the magnetic field of a
world, water from a tank is electrically separated into oxygen and
hydrogen. Waste carbon dioxide that isn't used for the onboard garden,
and hydrogen (helium if the machine is using a fusion reactor) is
slowly, constantly fed into the inside curves of both accelerators.

The high speed particles go out through straight lengths of pipe,
charged like the loops and in speeding out into space, push the
machine along. Doors control which pips the particles leave from. This
allows very long range acceleration and later deceleration at normal
(earth) gravity. This avoids the severe problems of weightlessness,
including lowered physical abilities of the crew.

It is possible to use straight-line particle accelerators, even as few
as one per machine, but these don't seem as able to get the best
machine speed for the least amount of particles pushed out.

Using a constant acceleration of 32.2 feet per second per second
provides earth normal gravity in deep space and only 2 gravities of
stress in leaving the earth's gravity field. It takes, not counting
air resistance, 18 minutes, 58.9521636 seconds to reach the 25,000
miles per hour speed to leave the earth's gravity field. It takes
about 354 days, 12 hours, 53 minutes and 40 seconds (about) to reach
the speed of light - 672,487,072.7 miles per hour. It takes the same
distance to decelerate as it does to speed up, but this cuts down the
time delay that one would have in conventional chemical rocketry
enormously, for a long journey.

A set of superconducting magnets can be charged by metal sheet
circuits, within limits, to whatever frequency is needed and will
continue to transmit that magnetic field frequency almost
indefinitely.

A shortwave radio can be used to find the exact frequencies that an
aircraft / spacecraft is using, for each of the colors it may show
whole a color television can show the same overall color frequency
that the nearby, but not extremely close, craft is using This is
limited, as a machine traveling at the speed of a jet airliner may
broadcast in a frequency range usually used for radar sets.

The craft circuits override lower frequency, lower voltage electric
circuits within and near their electromagnetic fields. One source
briefly mentioned a 1941 incident, where a shortwave radio was used to
override automobile ignition systems, up to 3 miles away. When the
shortwave radio was turned off, the cars could work again. How many
UFO encounters have been reported in which automobile ignition systems
have suddenly stopped?

I figure that things would not be at all pleasant for drivers of
modern cars with computer controlled engine and ignition systems.
Computer circuitry is sensitive to small changes in voltage and a
temporary wrong-way voltage surge may wipe the computer memory out. It
could mean that a number of drivers would suddenly be stranded with
their cars not working should such a craft fly low over a busy
highway. Only diesel engines, already warmed up, and Stanley Steamer
type steam engine cares are able to continue working in a strong
electromagnetic field. In May, 1988, it was reported that the U.S.
Army had lost 5 Blackhawk helicopters and 22 crewmen in crashes caused
by ordinary commercial radio broadcasting overriding the computer
control circuits of those helicopters. Certainly, computer circuits
for for this aircraft / spacecraft can and must be designed to
overcome this weakness.

One construction arrangement for this craft to avoid such interference
is for the metal sheet circuits to be more sharply tuned. Quartz or
other crystals can be used in capacitors; in a very large number of
low-powered, single frequency circuits, or as part of a frequency
control for the metal sheet circuits.

The aircraft / spacecraft easily overrides lower frequency and lower
voltage electric circuits up to a 6 mile wide circle around it, but
the effect is usually not tuned for such a drastic show. It can be
used for fire fighting: by hovering at a medium-low height at low
frequency, it forms a double negative pole magnet of itself and the
ground, the sides being a rotation of positive magnetic pole.

It polarizes the column of air in this field. The air becomes icy
cold. If it wouldn't put the fire out, it would slow it down.

Tesla went broke in the early 1900's building a combination radio and
electric power broadcasting station. The theory and experiments were
correct but the financiers didn't want peace and prosperity for all.

The Japanese physicist who developed superconducting material with
strong magnetism allows for a simplified construction of the aircraft
/ spacecraft. Blocks of this material can be used in place of the
inner hull metal sheets. By putting electricity in each block, the
pilot can control the strength of the magnetic field it gives off and
can reduce the field strength by draining some of the electric charge.
This allows the same amount of work to be done with vastly less
electricity used to do it.

It is surprising that Jonathan Swift, in his "Gulliver's Travels",
1726, third book, "A Voyage to Laputa", described an imagined magnetic
flying island that comes close to being what a large superconducting
aircraft / spacecraft can be build as, using little or no electric
power to hover and mover around.
