The Physics Detective on Townsend Brown, Lifters and All Things Antigravity

This is a worthy read. https://physicsdetective.com/lifters/ For example the Wikipedia Anti-gravity article says “Anti-gravity is often used to refer to devices that look as if they reverse gravity even though they operate through other means, such as lifters, which fly in the air by moving air with...

Miscellaneous Townsendiana

Paul has collected some of the most memorable young Townsend stories, but the Zanesville papers always found some good copy material in his doings. Among the reports of his activities: The family's Hawethorne farm included plans for stables for thoroughbred horses as young Townsend was reported to b...

Re: Willoughby and his Piezoelectric Papa

Willoughby and Townsend would have been peers in age and in childhood experiences, both sons of superlative engineers. Each of them served in the Navy during WW II, with Willoughby's last post being as the head of the Naval Ordinance Lab at China Lake. I have no doubt that the two men also shared a ...

Re: The Cady Report and the W*project

Nate, Townsend's acknowledged association with Glenn Martin dated from before the war. I suspect if we time map and geolocate we will find that he was living in Bethesda, next door to the Middle River Plant during the early RIAS formation. I don't know what he was chasing, theoretically speaking, bu...

Beau Kitselman ca. 1961

Nate, I have a trail of drafts behind me started as replies to your posts. I come back to them when I find another thread for the tapestry we are weaving, but as you know, once started, the weaving tends to go on a bit.. This response will be short and sweet though, as it is in regards to "Kits...

Townsend wasn't above pulling strings for his friends...

Some very interesting items have turned up in my trawl through the Zanesville newspaper files. Future USN Commander Jack Erven met Townsend Brown while working as a lifeguard at the Hawethornce club pool. He later credited Townsend with influencing him to choose the Navy over the Army when he went t...

Re: Townsend Brown, at the Philadelphia Naval Yard

Love the synchroniciousness of that story, Paul, and I thought the video was quite wonderful. I can see that Jesse will be able to do Townsend justice, as far as any interviewer can, from high level scientific perspective. Puthoff is certain that the Aerospace firms hold proprietary knowledge on som...

Molding sand sounds like a dull business to most of us, but the family firm provided one heckuva sandbox for Townsend's earliest scientific explorations.

Townsend's First Mentor, aka "Like father, like son"

Townsend's father, Lewis K., "L.K." Brown was lovingly profiled in a homage to Zanesville's great citizens. He was, apparently, a gifted mathematician and sometime engineering consultant on projects of a "national nature." He made his fortune selling fine sand, ground from Ohio g...

The inconquerable, inimitable Josephine Beal Brown

Jo deserves so much more attention than she gets. She will be remembered for following Townsend faithfully, and dutifully, without question, wherever he was called. But she was brought to her breaking point and ready to call it quits more than once. Each time, somehow, she found the strength within ...

Re: The Invisible Characters: George Gamow

In other words, what Einstein called "spooky action at a distance."

Yes, this is what he was seeing with the communications device: Spark gap jumped in one room, recording device clicks in the next.
