Hmm, Z-pinch. It's certainly not the first time that approach to hot fusion has been tried. A lot of Silicon Valley venture capital investors in the last few years are sure that they can make various failed 1950s fusion schemes succeed just because they are from the Internet generation. It can't hur...

A ping on this one, and after watching the Tim Ventura interview, yes I agree it deserves its own thread. That's my excuse, anyway: I accidentally created one in the lonely forum "Tech Talk (23)" a few days ago, before I realised Paul had already mentioned it here and my memory had blanked...

Here's the previous mention: viewtopic.php?p=22263#p22263

I think the reference I remember, or perhaps, misremember, was in an enumerated series of answers to questions asked by Gray Barker. I happen to have a copy of the Gray Barker documents, so as you've been mentioning missing them, I've just put them up on the Internet Archive (they might already be ...

When Townsend replied to Gray Barker's queries, (or was it Ed Hull') he said he found Brush's work in the Pacific Aeronautical Library in Santa Monica. It is in one or the other of those letters, and both were once online somewhere. Though Townsend would be in LA in 51/52, I have a feeling this eve...

I think the software was modified for airplanes at Skunk Works No, that doesn't make any sense at all. PROMIS was a minicomputer database: something a bit like, say, Microsoft Access today. Airplanes run on avionics hardware. You don't run supersonic jet fighters on databases, you need specialist, ...

Brush was involved with the heat transfer work??? Sort of, maybe, perhaps. Brush is definitely involved with weird theories about heat transfer. Did he achieve any practical results or hardware? Very few have been documented. Charles F Brush was a hands-on electrical engineer/entrepeneur very much ...

Having watched the video: Very interesting. Tim Ventura is a great interviewer with a good grasp of all the previous history - I remember following him in the heady days of the early 2000s when it felt like disclosure was about to happen, until it didn't. I'm glad he's stayed in the game. Like Ventu...

A news story from three days ago (based on a Youtube interview from three months ago) reports an apparent success for an electrostatic propellentless-propulsion drive. This is pinging my Townsend-o-scope. Could it be the long-awaited first actual credentialled unclassified-world replication of somet...

Ok, so the Phasorphone was a voice scrambler. Yes, that would fall into the NSA's turf, and I do believe that the US military-industrial complex has a habit of just grabbing technologies they like and which could have a military use. On those 1976 juicy Cray-1 computer specs: a random access semicon...

I can verify that this article is NOT in Nexus magazine because somebody uploaded the entire back catalogue to the Internet Archive where we can search it for free now. https://ia601708.us.archive.org/view_ar ... 202016.rar I searched all of them and will give the links to the most relevant ones if...

Ok so I'm going to ignore the pictures for the moment because they are not really my business and I can't do much with them. The Vega notebook and its scrambled pages, however, I can. Here's an initial outline of the transcription, with start and end lines of each incomplete page, to try to get a se...

First the patents. Dates are filing dates. I think I haven't seen all of these. They don't seem to all be available on Google patent search. GB300311, "A Method of and an Apparatus or Machine for Producing Force or Motion", 15 Aug 1927, Zanesville Ohio 1974483, "Electrostatic Motor&qu...

Ok, so the Jess files I have are 300 megabytes zipped, and won't fit here. I've uploaded them to the Internet Archive as I did with Project Montgolfier (which is included in this ZIP): https://archive.org/details/townsend-brown-files The reason I didn't upload them earlier is because I was quite wor...

Someone brought up the question, recently of what Bahnson might have meant when he said it was the "Space Brothers" who told him to find Townsend Brown. Sorry to harsh your woo, ET folks, but it is more likely that he was referring to the immensely powerful Dulles Brothers, Secretary of S...
