Gravity Nullified

Quartz Crystals Charged by High Frequency Currents

Lose Their Weight

Fig 1. The gravitation nullifier is shown in this illustration. The quartz crystal may be
seen supporting a 55 pound weight. Dr.Kowsky is shown in a top coat because of the
temperature at which the experiments were performed.

Although some remarkable achievements have been made with short-wave low power
Transmitter, radio experts and amateurs have recently decided that short-wave
transmission had reached its ultimate and that no vital improvement would be made in
this time.

A short time ago, however, two young European experimenters working with ultra short-
waves, have made a discovery that promises to be of primary importance to the scientific
world.
The discovery was made about six weeks ago in a newly established central laboratory of
the Nessartsaddin-Werke in Darredein, Poland, by Dr. Kowsky and Engineer Frost.

While experimenting with the constants of very short waves, carried on by means of
quartz resonators, a piece of quartz which was used, suddenly showed a clearly altered
appearance. It was easily seen that in the center of the crystal, especially when a constant
temperature not exceeding ten degrees C. (50 degrees Fahrenheit) was maintained, milky
cloudiness appeared which gradually developed to complete opacity.

The experiments of Dr.Meissner, of the Telefunken Co., along similar lines, according to
which quartz crystals, subjected to high frequency currents clearly showed air currents
which led to the construction of a little motor based on this principle.

A week of eager experimenting finally led Dr. Kowsky and Engineer Frost to the
explanation of the phenomenon, and further experiments showed the unexpected
possibilities for technical uses of the discovery.

Some statements must precede the explanation. It is known at least in part, that quartz
and some other crystals of similar atomic nature, have the property when exposed to
potential excitation in a definite direction, of stretching and contracting, and if one uses
rapidly changing potentials, the crystals will change the electric waves into mechanical
oscillations.

This piezo- electric effect, shown in Rochelle salt crystals by which they may be made
into sound-producing devices such as loud speakers or reversibly into microphones, also
shows the results in this direction.

This effect was clearly explained in August, 1925 Radio News and December, 1919
Electrical Experimenter.

These oscillations are extremely small, but have nevertheless their technical use in a
quartz crystal wave-meter and in maintaining a constant wave length in radio
transmitters.

This schematic diagram of the experiment is shown in this illustration. The high
frequency oscillator has been omitted for clarity.

By a special arrangements of the excitation of the crystal in various directions, it may be

made to stretch or increase in length and will not return to its original size.
 Fig 3. This shows how the quartz crystal lost weight when subjected to the high
frequency current. The original crystal was balanced on the scale.

It seems as if a dispersal of electrons from a molecule resulted, which as it is irreversible,

changes the entire structure of the crystal, so that it cannot be restored to its former
condition.

The stretching out, as we may term this strange property of the crystal, explains the
reason for its transparency.

At the same time a change takes place in its specific gravity. Testing it on the balance
showed that after connecting the crystal to the high tension current, the arm of the
balance on which the crystal with the electrical connections tests rode into air.

The illustration, of Fig 3. shows this experiment.

This pointed the way for further investigation and the determination of how far the
reduction of the specific gravity could be carried out. By the use of greater power, finally
to the extent of several kilowatts and longer exposure to the action, it was found
eventually that from a little crystal, 5 by 2 by 1.5 millimeters, a nontransparent white
body measuring about ten centimeters on the side resulted, or increased about 20 times in
length on any side (see Fig 4.)

The transformed crystal was so light that it carried the whole apparatus with itself
upwards, along with the weight of twenty-five kilograms (55 lbs) suspended from it and
floating freely in the air.

On exact measurement and calculation, which on account of the excellent apparatus in

the Darredein laboratory could be readily carried out, it was found that the specific
gravity was reduced to a greater amount than the change in volume would indicate,
Its weight had become practically negative.

There can be no doubt that a beginning has been made toward overcoming gravitation.

It is to be noted, however, that the law of conservation of energy is absolutely unchanged.

The energy employed in treating the crystal, appears as the counter effect of gravitation.

Thus the riddle of gravitation is not fully solved as yet, and the progress of experiments
will be followed further. It is, however, the first time that experimentation with
gravitation, which hitherto has been beyond the pale of all such research, has become
possible, and it seems as if there were a way discovered at last to explain the
interrelations of gravity with electric and magnetic forces, which connection, long sought
for, has never been demonstrated.

Fig 4. This illustration shows the relative sizes of the crystal before and after the
experiment. It is approximately twenty times its original length on any side.

The Kowsky-Frost Device Was a Free-Energy System!

When I initially reviewed the article for The Antigravity Handbook titled, “Gravity
Nullified”, I didn’t do an in-depth analysis. I thought it was interesting source
material, but for some reason I didn’t really get into the article and pick it apart.
Perhaps it was because my attention became diverted by the allegation in the October
1927 issue of Science and Invention that the previous article, which appeared in
September, was a hoax.

When I recently DID do a review of the article, I noticed that the efficiency was
rather high, approaching 34%. It seemed that the application of this technology was
doable; after all, this efficiency was higher than jet and rocket propulsion. The figures
seemed to hang together, unlike something you would expect from a hoax. So I
wondered how the later experiment by Jerry Gallimore (published in the PACE
Newsletter) would stack up, and I plugged the formula into an excel spreadsheet. I
expected the system to break unity at a rather low frequency, probably at
approximately 400 Hz. But at the frequency Jerry was using, the efficiency works out
to 143%. That frequency was 777 KHz. So whether he knew it or not, he had a free
energy device. What was the efficiency at 400 Hz.? It turns out to be 278,153%. The
lift capacity in kg works out to be 29.1375 with a power input of just one watt. I can
remember in a video that Tom Bearden did titled, “The Lost Unified Field Theory of
James Clerk Maxwell”, he mentioned that it would be possible to levitate a battleship
with a flashlight battery. I always wondered what the phase conjugate material was in
this case. After all, it would need to be a media, which is highly stressed, nonlinear,
and would possess a high dielectric constant. When I interviewed Jerry Gallimore in
Los Cruces back in the 80’s before he passed away, he mentioned that the dielectric
constant of the material “went through the roof.” He estimated that the constant was
in the neighborhood of ten million. That’s a very wealthy neighborhood. So it could
have been phase conjugate material.

It could also be Biefield-Brown material. Back in 1984, when I did the Biefield-
Brown formula, I noticed that a sort of breakeven point is reached at a dielectric
constant of 8000-9000. At the time, I considered that the sintered barium titanates
would be the way to go if one wanted to get a device to “lift-off” of the lab bench. I
also knew that there were materials that went above that, but they were highly
nonlinear in respect to their operating temperature, and their “window” was fairly
narrow, about 10 degrees C. Anything above or below this temperature results in a
severe drop in the K. What was not generally known was that Townsend Brown
experimented with a pulsating high voltage field, as well as pulsating low-frequency
magnetic fields at right angles to the applied electric field potential. What does this
do? Well, it turns the space between the plates into a wave-guide. And the action of
the pulsating fields at right angles to each other is equivalent to the application to a
low-frequency electromagnetic wave. Was Brown aware of the Kowsky-Frost
Experiment? It really depends on his magazine subscriptions. If he subscribed to
Science and Invention in that time frame, or if he had access to back issues in the 50’s
when he resumed some of his experimentation, then he may have known about it.

Is there a connection between the Kowsky-Frost and Brown’s experiments? I would

say yes. When I originally did the Biefield-Brown formula, I “invented” a Biefield-
Brown constant as a fudge factor to make the formula work. It represents a missing
variable. What is that variable? I’m betting that it’s the input frequency, or perhaps
TWO synergistic variables, perhaps representing an input of electromagnetic energy
at right angles to the electric field. The original formula is still applicable to a DC
field at high voltages, but the new formula would combine the characteristics of both
effects. A hybrid formula would optimize this, and may lead toward a new propulsion
concept. In the original article, “Gravity Nullified”, they mentioned that only quartz
and Rochelle salt crystals were considered. Are there others? Yes, there would be.
What would the requirements be? Well, it would need to be a dielectric, and
transparent to RF energy. Metallic crystals are out. Crystals, which are semi
conductive, may or may not work, depending on whether or not they remain semi
conductive AFTER the expansion process is completed. After these criteria are met,
there are thousands of materials, which are good candidates for investigation. They
would not be limited to quartz and Rochelle salt. When Edison began his search for a
suitable filament material, some of the most bizarre suggestions seemed to work the
best. It may be so once again. As an example, why limit the investigation to inorganic
crystals? Organic compounds may prove to be much more viable. Once a real civilian
research program is started, there will no doubt be quite a few surprises.

I will now include my commentary, which originally appeared after the “Gravity
Nullified” article, which I re-released lately, as well as a spreadsheet analysis of the
Kowsky-Frost Experiment.

Here’s the reprint:

Some Notes on The Article

©2000 Bill Donavan

Please note that the crystal increased its size “twenty times its original length on any
side”. The density decrease would be the cube of that, or 8000. That’s quite a
decrease. According to the Funk & Wagnall’s Standard Reference Encyclopedia,
quartz has a specific gravity of 2.65. That means that the specific gravity went from
2.65 to 3.3125x 10-4. Another thing that was not mentioned in the article was the
mass of the crystal. Since most quartz has a specific gravity of 2.65, and the volume
is known (5x2x1.5 millimeters, or 15 cubic millimeters) a calculation for that can be
made. There are 1000 cubic millimeters in a cubic centimeter, or 10x10x10
millimeters. So, we divide 15 cubic millimeters by 1000, or .015 cubic centimeters.
One cubic centimeter of quartz will weigh 2.65 grams. So therefore, .015 cubic
centimeters will weigh .03975 grams.

Now, we need to know the lift factor. In the article, we see that “the transformed
crystal was so light that it carried the whole apparatus with itself upwards, along with
the weight of twenty-five kilograms (55 lbs.) Suspended from it and floating free in
the air.” I previously determined the mass of the crystal to be .03975 grams.
Assuming that the 25 kilograms did not include the mass of the crystal, the total
weight then is 25,000.03975 grams. The lift factor is 25,000.03975 divided by .03975
or 628931.81761. That’s a fairly large number. This factor is applicable in both
English and Metric systems. So, how much propulsive power does a 1-pound crystal
have? It would amount to over 314 TONS. There seems to be a discrepancy between
the above article and the later repeat of this experiment by Jerry Gallimore. Jerry’s
experiment seemed to indicate that there was only a lift factor of 800. Why is there so
much of a discrepancy? It might have something to do with the quality of the quartz,
or the method of “conditioning” the quartz during the expansion process. Or, possibly
an unknown factor, which could be discovered when the experiment is repeated.

Next, we need to calculate the power density, in watts per cubic centimeter. The
volume of the crystal is .015 cubic centimeters. Putting one watt into this volume
would result in a power density of 66.66 watts per cubic centimeter. But, in the article
we see that, “by the use of greater power, finally to the extent of several kilowatts and
longer exposure to the action, it was found eventually that from a little crystal, 5 by 2
by 1.5 millimeters, a non-transparent white body measuring about ten centimeters on
the side resulted...” Several kilowatts indeed. So, what would the power density of
THAT be? Well, that would be approximately 7000 watts divided by an initial
volume of .015 cubic centimeters, or 466,666.67 watts per cubic centimeter. But, let’s
assume that the power density applied is constant, and varies during the expansion to
accommodate a variable volume. Let us also assume that the 7000 watts is applied
AFTER the 8000:1 expansion, and work the process backwards. 7000 watts applied
to 8000 x .015, or 120 cubic centimeters comes to a power density of 58.33 watts per
cubic centimeter. If we assume that this density is constant, then the beginning
amount will be .87495 watts applied to the crystal. This will be slowly ramped up as
the volume increased to 7000 watts.

Next, we need to calculate the efficiency. To pull up against Earth’s gravity field is
equivalent to accelerating the mass 32 feet per second per second. This 55-pound
weight has 1760 foot-pounds impressed upon it to keep it above the lab bench. The
conversion factor for foot-pounds per second to watts is 1.356. This would amount to
1760 foot pounds multiplied by 1.356, or 2386.56 watts. Therefore, the efficiency
would be the output, 2386.56 watts divided by 7000 watts in, or 34.093% efficiency.
That’s quite an impressive efficiency, compared to rockets or jet engines. This would
amount to 127.27 watts per pound. How much would it take for a mass of 10,000
pounds? It comes to approximately 1.27 megawatts, or 25.45 amps at 50,000 volts.
That’s doable. Especially if Paul Brown’s resonant nuclear cell is used.

When I ran the results through an Excel spreadsheet of the Gallimore experiment, I
noticed that the efficiency seemed to “break unity” at low frequencies. One model
seemed to suggest 400 Hz and lower would yield anomalous results. Very anomalous,
with efficiencies ranging way above 1000%. Is this what Tom Bearden was
explaining in “The Lost Unified Field Theory of James Clerk Maxwell”? Quite
possibly so. There could be 4-wave mixing going on, and the medium is
EXTREMELY nonlinear and stressed. Maybe when the experiment is repeated we
can determine this.

Conclusion
Is this a hoax? I don’t think so. I know there was a later article that appeared in the
October issue of Science and Invention that claimed this, but since Jerry Gallimore
claimed that he obtained positive results using similar procedures, I tend to think that
the hoax claim is in itself a hoax. It seems that something got out, that wasn’t
supposed to GET out. If Gallimore’s experiment is genuine, then who knows how far
this technology could have been developed since its inception in 1927? If it took a
decade to develop chemical rockets to get to the moon, then two decades would not
be unreasonable. And what happened in 1947? The first “UFO flaps”! My, what a
coincidence.

There was a mention by Jerry Gallimore that the dielectric constant of the material
“went through the roof”. He estimated that it went to 10 million or above. So the
Biefield-Brown effect could also be responsible for this phenomenon as well. Is this
the gravitational analog of a transistor? Possibly. In the Biefield-Brown effect, the
question was raised when I did the chapter for the Antigravity Handbook whether or
not the field was completely contained within the dielectric or whether it was “leaky”.
I assumed that it was completely self-contained, and that there was no way to get it to
propagate outside the dielectric. But, you know what happens with assumptions.
What if there is a way to get a field flow to go around the ship? Well, then it’s
conceivable to get something that looks like a “warp drive.” Or it’s possible to
produce an artificial wormhole and get a “Stargate.” Who knows how far they could
have gone with this technology!

Finally, if this experiment, which obviously has politically incorrect overtones, is

repeated, perhaps the commercial exploitation of space can finally be realized. I
believe that the results of this experiment are the key to man’s future in space,
perhaps whether man has a future in space at all.

Conclusion-again
Are these figures for real? I assure you they are. I can’t stress enough that there is a
real phenomenon going on here, which is just waiting to be developed. The successful
repetition of the experiment by Jerry Gallimore blows the claims of the original
experiment being a hoax right out of the water. In a later paper, I will be getting the
original source material from Radio Umchau if it is still available. I have contacts,
which can translate German, and can be trusted. Why did Science and Invention
claim that it was a hoax? I think they were persuaded to do so, and not because of the
antigravity aspects. There is a pernicious pursuit by those in power to keep this
society on a short leash in regard to its energy resources. It’s all about control. If this
technology were allowed to develop back in 1927, then we would have colonized the
solar system by now, and possibly the nearby star systems. But whom would the
penny-ante despots order around? Our political leadership has turned Earth into a
prison planet.

Isn’t it time to break out?
