CONCEPT

This electro-mechanical device of cylindrical shape is composed of a custom-made tubular high-voltage electric capacitor, and permanent ring magnets:

The arrangement of these parts is concentric. We need one steel round rod as a central spin axis. The five permanent ring magnets will be attached to the steel rod in the following manner:

The ring magnets on the rod will be connected to an electric motor via a rubber V-belt. Horizontally oriented rod will be supported by two pillow mounted bearings:

TUBULAR ELECTRIC CAPACITOR

We need two metallic tubes (pipes) made of an electric conductor. These tubes will be our capacitor’s plates to be charged with high voltage. These tubes will be concentric:

Between the outer pipe and the inner pipe there is so-called annular space. This space needs to be filled with a dielectric material enclosed between two cylindrical metallic plates to make it a tubular electric capacitor. And the inner empty space is where we insert our above permanent ring magnets attached to the steel rod (spin axis):

EXPERIMENTAL SETUP

The above described device, to be tested, needs to be affixed to a base plate. This base plate will be the bottom of a wooden box inside which everything will be enclosed, and sealed air-tight to eliminate any possible aerodynamic side effects.

There will be two external electric cables inserted into the box. The first one will be a standard electric power cable for the electric motor, approx 3,500 rpm to 4,500 rpm). The second cable will provide high voltage to charge the capacitor. This implies a need for access to an external portable high-voltage transformer. We would need to be able to supply approx. 250 kV to 350 kV to the capacitor.

Home-use transformers, up to 400 kV:

Rotating Cylinder Experiment

Haruo Yamashita  European Patent 0486243A2  “Machine for Acceleration in a Gravitational Field“.

The concept of the invention consists of rotating a charged cylinder inside a charged stationary cylinder, an electric capacitor (electric dipole moment vector). Some claims from the patent:

  1. Rotation of a charged body generates a vertical force [antigravity field].
  2. When the polarity of the charges supplied to the rotating body is reversed, the direction of the generated vertical force is also reversed [attractive gravity field].
  3. The faster the body is rotated, the stronger is the generated vertical force [angular momentum vector].
  4. The direction and strength of the generated vertical force do not depend on the direction of the body.

All of the above takes place in Earth’s magnetic field (magnetic dipole moment vector).

Hidden Momentum in a Charged Rotating Cylinder

Many explanations of “hidden” mechanical momentum proceed via consideration of the work done by the electric field on the moving charges that comprise the electrical current. This is appealing from the point of view of mechanics, but leaves open the question of where does the energy gained by the charges come from? A tacit view associated with the work done by the electric field is that the energy gained by the charges has come from the (distant) sources of the electric field. However, this view is not very “Maxwellian”, with its implication of action at a distance, or that the energy flowed along the lines of electric field that does the work (field interaction).

The standard version of Poynting’s theorem assumes that only free currents can be sources of electromagnetic field energy. But as we examine the possibility of “hidden” forces, energy and momentum it is useful to consider at least one alternative, that the “total” current can emit/absorb field energy. We do not consider Maxwell’s displacement current in the current J that couples to E as a source field energy, although logically we could. Indeed, following this line of thought leads to 729 variants of Poynting’s theorem, most of which are rather implausible physically as they imply that the electromagnetic fields are sources of themselves. Of course, such behavior occurs in a gravity field described by nonlinear field theories.

Appendix. Abraham, Minkowski and Hidden Momentum : The nonzero hidden mechanical momentum of a system at rest, such as the present example, must be balanced by an equal and opposite field momentum [Earth’s gravitational field momentum].
