APPENDIX J
PREVENTING ANOTHER COLUMBIA DISASTER
Below is a suggestion I submitted to the Columbia Accident Investigation
Board.
As of yet, I have received no further communication from the board.
FOOTNOTES
CHAPTER 1

Information from photocopied sample pages sent to me courtesy of Paul Schatzkin.
Being hand printed, it is more difficult to tell whether the cover page is also in Brown’s handwriting; however, members of his family affirm that it is.
CHAPTER 2

The power supply’s upper-limit current would be determined by the impedance of the secondary winding of its high-voltage transformer.
*3
The firm’s address was given as Aviation Studies (International) Ltd., Sussex House, 37A Parkside, Wimbledon, London SW19 5NB, UK.
However, currently no address for this organization is available.

A 1993 circular states that this newsletter covers aerospace policy and contains equipment and intelligence data, economic/technical acquisition needs, and government news, analysis, and trends.
I do not know if it continues to be published.
*5
When a capacitor is energized with AC, there is a phase shift between the current and voltage sine waves such that the current change through the capacitor tends to lead the voltage change across it.
Consequently, the product of average current times average voltage (or kilowatts) is not a good measure for the average power of a half cycle.
In such cases, electrical engineers instead refer to kilovolt-amperes.
CHAPTER 3

By the end of August, Brown had founded the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (also known as NICAP), a UFO research organization that at the time was the largest and most influential of such organizations.
Nevertheless, four months later, as a result of a disagreement over what the organization’s objectives should be, he was forced to resign as its director, the position being subsequently filled by Major Donald E.
Keyhoe.

A 0.21-g accelerating force will accelerate a 100-ton craft at the rate of 206 cm/s
2
.
After one second, this craft will attain a velocity of about 2 m/sec and have a kinetic energy of E
k
= 2.1 × 10
12
ergs.
During this second, the craft’s 3-kilowatt electric power consumption, E
e
, would have resulted in a total energy consumption of 3,000 joules, or E
e
= 3 × 10
10
ergs.
Hence, the propulsion efficiency would equal ε = E
k
/E
e
= 7,060 percent.

For example, copper ferrite–barium titanate composites have a dielectric constant of about 50 in the frequency range of 10
8
to 10
9
hertz, the dielectric constant of such high-K dielectrics being much lower at high frequencies than at low frequencies.
Knowing that the optimal driving frequency scales as 1/√
K
and that the dielectric covers only a small portion of the diameter of the radiating disc, we might surmise that the optimal driving frequency would be reduced by a factor of 2 rather than 7, making it about 750 megahertz.
CHAPTER 4

For information about those subquantum kinetics predictions that were subsequently confirmed, see
www.starburstfound.org/LaViolette/Predict2.html
.
*11
This of course violates the conventional rule of charge conservation but is allowable in the subquantum kinetics framework when dealing with incipient zero-point fluctuations.
*12
The Y production rate balance density, ρ
y
, would be the counterpart of the positive virtual electric charge density.
We instead focus here on specifying the X-on component, since it is this component that is involved in generating the G-on gravity field.
*13
Changing the K value of the ether, that is, the value of its electric permittivity, is equivalent in subquantum kinetics to changing the X and Y diffusion coefficients of the Model G ether reaction system.
Changing these diffusion coefficients would change the X and Y etheric concentration magnitude (the electric potential).
In subquantum kinetics, however, etheric concentration gradients (potential gradients) may be produced without altering the diffusion coefficients.
CHAPTER 5
*14
Although the author of that article speculated that Northrop was negatively charging the aircraft’s leading edge, the sonic barrier effects could also be accomplished with a positive charge, as Brown originally suggested.
*15
This horsepower estimate is based on the assumption that the jets would be able to propel the craft to a velocity of about 600 miles per hour (Mach 0.8).
*16
The black-project scientists mentioned earlier in this chapter disclosed information about the development of low-radar-observability dielectric ceramics made from powdered, depleted uranium.
17
The material is said to have approximately 92 percent the bulk density of uranium, which would give it a specific gravity of about 17.5.
Thus, this new material would have a mass density about three times that of barium titanate and so would develop a comparably greater electrogravitic pull.
Asymmetrical thrusters possibly incorporated in the B-2’s wing may use a high-density dielectric of this sort adjacent to their negative electrodes where the field strength and gravitic thrust would be highest.
CHAPTER 6
*17
In their 2003 paper, Podkletnov and Modanese reported a lower instantaneous acceleration of the order of approximately 500 g.
Here they assume that the gravitational force is exerted during the entire duration of the pulse, which has a duration of 10
–4
second.
However, subquantum kinetics suggests that the gravitational force is delivered by the gradient at the forefront of their shock wave, which is of much shorter duration, having a rise time of less than 100 nanoseconds.
This implies an instantaneous gravitational acceleration a thousand times larger than they calculate.
*18
Relativistic length-contraction effects would also contribute to the steepness of this front.
For example, at 500 kilovolts, the electron discharge would consist of 0.5 MeV electron with a mass twice as great as its rest mass.
Electrons would be traveling at 87 percent of the velocity of light and would have a Lorentz factor of 2.
Consequently, the voltage rise time would be compressed by a factor of 2, making the potential gradient twice as steep.
At 2 MeV, the electrons would be traveling at 98 percent of the speed of light and would have a Lorentz factor of 5, which would make their potential gradient five times as steep.
*19
Because of the revolutionary nature of these findings, we conducted a separate experiment that incorporated a double-check of our measurements.
We measured the time the wave took to go from point A to point B, and the time was also measured for the wave to go from B to C.
These points were collinear with the direction of shock wave propagation.
The total of these two flight times was then compared with the measured time for the wave to go from A to C.
The summation accurately corresponded to the observed A-to-C value.
This indicated that the current pulses that the cables conveyed to the oscilloscope were reflecting the actual passage of the shock wave away from the dome electrode and that the wave’s instantaneous position was being faithfully sensed by the pickup antennae.
*20
The warp factor scale developed for the Star Trek series calculates the attained super-luminal velocity from the warp factor number, using the formula: speed = c X (warp factor)
33.3
.
Hence, Warp 5 would allow a ship to attain a speed of 214 c.
CHAPTER 7
*21
The wave in figure 7.6b is represented by the following equation: V = 4(1 – e
-x
) for the voltage ascent and V = 4 (1 – 5x) for the voltage descent.
*22
Parametric amplifiers can also use a ferrite material as their nonlinear medium and work by instead varying the magnetic permeability μ of the ferrite.
The outcome is essentially the same.
CHAPTER 8
*23
Prior to its dissolution through corporate merger, Hughes had a long history of being involved in the development of very advanced, leading-edge technology.
About 90 percent of its work was defense related, most of which is highly classified R&D.
During the early 1980s, when the U.S.
Government Accounting Office was cracking down on defense contract fraud, evidence surfaced that an astounding two-thirds of Hughes’s contract costs could not be accounted for, far more than for any other corporation surveyed.
Whereas other contractors received stiff fines for their unaccounted costs, Hughes managed to emerge virtually unscathed.
Could federal authorities have understood that these excess cash flows were not cost overruns, but rather funds whose specific black-programs destinations could not be revealed or even admitted to?
*24
Those interested in preparing themselves for a career in field propulsion technology should consider going for an undergraduate degree in physics with a minor in electrical engineering.
Then, go on to get either a master’s or doctoral degree in electrical engineering, specializing in microwave or radar engineering.
Make sure to take courses, among other things, in optical and microwave phase conjugation, Fourier analysis, and Laplace transforms.
The best universities to pick are those at which professors are already working in the area of microwave phase conjugation applied to radar or communication systems.
Examples that come to mind are the University of Michigan and the University of California Los Angeles.
In particular, the California professors have in the past coauthored papers in this area with Rocketdyne scientists.
*25
That is, the permaloy strips produced a series of impedance discontinuities that formed a current dependent electromagnetic grating pattern along the waveguide.
The grating modulated the surface conduction of the waves in such a way that it would reflect them back as phase-conjugate waves.
Tesla had also discovered the secret of making coherent spark discharges characterized by negative resistance; he once commented that an arc is not working properly when it is noisy: to be efficient it should “sing,” i.e., be coherent.
CHAPTER 9
*26
In August 2006, I contacted members of the Oregon State–Princeton team to see if they knew of anyone who had observed a microwave beam repulsion phenomenon in layered bismuth.
They said they did not know of anyone who had investigated this, but indicated interest in my suggestion that such an effect might be present.
They requested I send anything I may have published on this.
However, after I outlined to them how an experiment might be easily carried out and suggested mutual collaboration on the project, they mysteriously broke off contact.
My subsequent e-mails to them went unanswered.
*27
Lazar suggested that one could infer the microwave frequency from the dimensions of the waveguide tube.
Theorizing that its inside diameter is somewhat less than its 8centimeter outside diameter, say 5 centimeters, and that a full wavelength fits across this dimension, this would imply a frequency of about 6 gigahertz (or 3 gigahertz for a half-wavelength fit).
CHAPTER 10
*28
Some claim even higher potentials on the order of 10 million megavolts!
*29
Here we assume that most of the return magnetic flux from the individual roller magnets (south-pole-seeking flux) returns either outside or inside the ring of roller magnets and to a lesser extent in the space between the roller magnets.
*30
Note that the current flow illustrated in figure 10.12 follows the engineering convention that current flows in the opposite direction from electron flow.
Electron current would be in the opposite direction, and one would then use the left-hand rule instead of right-hand rule to determine the directions of the torques.
The result, however, comes out the same.
*31
Roshchin and Godin estimated that the walls measured 12 meters in height by 5 centimeters in breadth and calculated that the air passing through that volume underwent a 6°C temperature drop when the MEC was operating at 550 rpm.
