Hey, everybody...again. Anybody know the name of that scientist...I think he was Czech or eastern European.....who SUCCESSFULLY found the right frequency to counteract the electromagnetic field of the earth (although not perfectly) and cause objects in his immediate surrounding to leviate. I have another project....that i really need to study his work because I have another project that would totally rely on finding this energy frequency or opposite electromagnetic field to cancel the earths. Last I heard, no one has been able to successfully reproduce this....as far as the public knows.

Thanks,

No, because he doesn't exist. The Earth's electromagnetic field isn't what's keeping things from floating, gravity is.

Yes, we all know that gravity pulls at 9.81 m/s2 and if the earth stops, we would go flying off.....but counteracting the pull is done through electomagnetism. smile.gif

No, it accelerates at 9.81 m/s^2. It pulls with F=(GMm)/r^2

And still would have nothing to do with "counteracting" the Earth's (very very weak) magnetic field. The man does not exist, and if he does, it's a hoax.

I'll find his name and post it. It wasn't simple levitation......he actually created an electromagnetic ANTI-GRAVITY field around an uncontrolled area...not these experiments that place an object on a plate or something. Excaza....if you prefer this explanation..... a field that pushes against the electromagnetism of matter on the earth or magnetic pull of the poles....cancelling out the pull of gravity...I'm not 100% positive how he did it...that's why I want to know if anyone knows this scientist. It does seem logical that things would have different electromagnetic pulls....that's why i really would like to know how he did it. Plus he was on the discovery channel as well. smile.gif

That's what I meant. Accelerates at that until it reaches terminal. It's been a long day...anyway...don't want to make anyone sour on this subject...i'll find it and his name....and I'll post it on this thread. In chemistry...atoms have a particular weight....and matter is just a combination of the atoms. Things can levitate or float just by the weight of the atoms itself it it's lighter than air.....maybe it had something to do with affecting the molecular bonds but keeping the object intact. I REALLY HAVE NO IDEA.....that's why I asked. But i'll find the guy..and post his name...i'm sure gravity is just one constant or variable..depending on how you look at it...in the equation.

Atoms are made of matter, not the other way around. Things float because they're less dense than the medium they're in (i.e. air in water, oil in water, helium in air), it has nothing to do with affecting the molecular bonds.

He did not invent an anti-gravity device, and he did not levitate anything, controlled or uncontrolled, unless it was a magnetic material inside an electromagnetic field, which is nothing new, you can buy "floating" pens for ten bucks down at the Discovery Store.

If he had truly invented an anti-gravity field, you would have no problem finding the guy. He does not exist, and if he does, he's either dumb as a puck for not sharing it, or a fraud.

I lean towards the latter

Gravity has NOTHING to do with the magnetic field of the earth. The magnetic field of the earth ranges between .3 gauss and .6 gauss, and an electromagnet powerful enough to overcome the force of gravity is, at present time, absurdly impractical and not possible with today's technology.

I seriously doubt he was anything more that mechanical advantage working for him.

No, he had God temporarily change the state of the universe so he could lift the blocks single-handedly. laugh.gif

Hello provigilken, et al.
The only random anti-gravity effect that I have heard about is by John Hutchison

There was an experiment done in Russia dealing with the Searl Effect however.

Well, you don't know whether it helps him or not then, unless you are confessing to another bout of 'sock-puppetry'?

To the OP .. could it have been a story about Nikola Tesla? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla

Thanks for the Coral Castle link .. interestng.
