Evgency (Eugene) PODKLETNOV, Antigravity and Space-X

        Podkletnov is discussed in a 737-page textbook entitled Frontiers of Propulsion Science. It was published in February, 2009 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronauts, Inc (AIAA). From hereon I shall refer to it simply as the textbook. It purports to be the first textbook in the field of Breakthrough Propulsion Physics. Podkletnov is mentioned in the index on pages xxiv, 9-10, 14-15, 237-239, and 242.  On page xxiv, on Figure 1, which sums up the contents of the text, his concept is listed as having had null results or shown to be not viable.  On page 10 it is stated that NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, began its own study in an attempt to recreate Podkletnov configuration. The study ran from 1995 to 2002, but was “unable to complete the needed test hardware with the resources available. Private funding supposedly did allow for a completed apparatus and published the results in 2003.  “Using equipment 50 times more sensitive than available to Podkletnov, the group found no evidence of a gravity-like force.” Podkletnov then made the assertion that a force beam could be created by applying high-voltage discharges near superconductors.  However, the claim is unsubstantiated according to Paul A. Gilster of the Tau Zero Foundation, who wrote Chapter 1 of the textbook.  Gilster does credit Podkletvov with bringing a combination of both energy and skepticism to the subject (of antigravity).  Chapter 5, written by George D. Hathaway of Hathaway Consulting Services, Toronto, Canada, has a more detailed analysis that will be discussed further below.

             According to Nick Cook, much of Podkletnov's work is being done in Russia. Indeed, while Nick Cook is not mentioned in the textbook’s index, on page 19 of Chapter 1 it is stated that, “Reports in Jane’s Defense Weekly that aerospace giant Boeing was investigating superconductivity effects related to Podkletnov’s work remain unconfirmed” (Cook, N., “”Anti-Gravity Propulsion Comes ‘Out of the Closet,’” Jane’s Defense Weekly, 29 July 2002), and, I might add, un-refuted.  Gilster goes on to state that, "the private nature of such potential work makes the prospects for disclosure unknown. 

      Chapter 5 of the textbook is entitled Gravitational Experiments with Superconductors: History and Lessons.  A cursory read of it makes clear the extreme difficulty in measuring slight changes to the gravitation field when dealing with low temperatures and rapidly spinning superconductors. Podkletnov used liquid helium while some analyses by others (as the diagram on Figure 2 shows) were done with liquid nitrogen.  Liquid helium is much colder than liquid nitrogen.

       In Nick Cook’s book, THE HUNT FOR ZERO POINT, beginning on page 182, there is a description of a World War II German experiment with “a bell-shaped device comprising two contra-rotating cylinders filled with mercury, or something like it, that emitted a strange pale light blue” that killed five people.  Eventually, between April 28 and May 4, 1945, 62 scientists working on the project were shot by the SS.

    On Figure 3 we find that the only encoding of the term ANTIGRAVIY in the Torah Code is crossed by Deuteronomy 32:22.  This verse states, “For fire will have been kindled in My nostrils and blaze to the lowest depths.  It shall consume the earth, AND SET ABLAZE THE FOUNDATIONS OF MOUNTAINS.”  So if encoding of Antigravity there is deliberate, then the location of that encoding seems to suggest that such an experiment may endanger the Earth.  Because antigravity is often associated with UFO propulsion, as in Paul Potter's book, GRAVITATIONAL MANIPULATION OF DOMED CRAFT, UFO Propulsion Dynamics, I sought UFO at a special case skip (+/- 1 or the absolute skip of the axis term). I found it at the same skip as ANTIGRAVITY. Figure 3 also has an ELS of HELIUM touch ANTIGRAVITY. Of course, even a helium balloon will appear to defy gravity and rise. In the open text is AND RISE. Two scientists (other than Podkletnov) are associated with antigravity. They are Nikola TESLA and Townsend T. BROWN. Both are present on Figure 3, with Brown's name found in the ELS of ANTIGRAVITY.
