Here's some interesting info about torsion fields. They're produced by magnets,
gyroscopes, certain shapes like cones, flat triangles, and pyramids, and can be
detected coming from stars using shielded radio telescopes. Grebennikov found that empty
honeycomb of certain bees could affect persons to feel sickness, illusions of
falling, flying, etc. Torsion fields also can alter the spin state of physical media,
which might explain devices like the Sweet-VTA, or Philadelphia Experiment, especially since
it can affect spin inside atoms, using very little power.
Torsion fields also might explain various anomalous results and devices, that
produce results unexplainable by standard physics. And spires and domes of some churches
can be considered passive torsion generators, which would explain the tranquility
people feel inside them. Objects having geometrical sizes that obey the rule of "golden
section" (1:0,618) are also passive torsion generators.
One interesting experiment transmitted torsion waves from a duck to a hen, which
started a transformation of the hen into a duck. And Kanchzhen's torsion generator
reportedly reduced gravity.
Here's a quote:
" Strong torsion fields are generated by high electrical potentials and by
devices having organized circular or spiral electromagnetic processes. (Probably the
first researcher to investigate the torsion fields created by these types of
generators was Nikola Tesla.
It is useful to note experiments demonstrating effects which were usually
interpreted as the manifestation of the so called "fifth force". Probably the first researcher
to encounter the "fifth force" in the end of XIX century was a professor of Russian
physical-chemical society N.P.Myshkin. In 1990, De Sabbata and C.Sivaram
demonstrated that phenomena connected with the "fifth force" can be interpreted as
manifestation of torsion.
It is also important to note the experiments which demonstrate anomalies
connected with gyroscopes and gyroscopic systems. Probably the first researcher to
establish that the behavior of gyroscopic systems cannot be explained in the frame work of
Newton's mechanics was Russian astrophysicist N.A.Kozyrev. In the 50s, N.A.Kozyrev
conducted a large series of experiments with gyroscopes and found that variations of the
gyroscope's weight exists depending on the angular velocity and the direction of rotation.
Later, Kozyrev's results were completely confirmed by a member of the Belarus Academy
of Sciences A.I.Veinik, who in the 60s - 80s conducted a major research of the
anomalies demonstrated by gyroscopic systems. In 1989 H.Hayasaka and S. Takeuchi published
results of their experiments in which the fall-time of freely falling spinning gyroscope
was measured. These experiments showed that the fall-time varies depending on the
angular velocity and the direction of rotation. The unusual behavior of spinning
gyroscopes was observed by S.M.Polyakov in the USSR and many others, and basically was
interpreted as a manifestation of antigravitation. In 1991, G.I.Shipov showed that the violation
of Newton's mechanics demonstrated by gyroscopic systems was caused by the
appearance of torsion fields generated by spinning masses.
From the mid-50s to the late 70s, N.A.Kozyrev (with V.V.Nasonov) conducted
astronomical observations using a receiving system of a new type. When the
telescope was directed at a certain star, the detector (designed by N.A.Kozyrev and V.
V.Nasonov) positioned within the telescope registered the incoming signal even if the main
mirror of the telescope was shielded by metal screens. This fact indicated that
electromagnetic waves (light) had some component that could not be shielded by metal screens.
When the telescope was directed not at the visible position but at the true position of a
star, the detector then registered an incoming signal that was much stronger. The
detection of the true positions of different stars could be interpreted only as detection of
star radiation that had velocities billions of times greater than the speed of light.
N.A. Kozyrev also found that the detector registered an incoming signal when the
telescope was directed at a position symmetrical to the visible position of a
star relative to it's true position. This fact was interpreted as a detection of the
future positions of stars.
In the late 80s to early 90s, astronomical observations using the
Kozyrev-type detector were successfully conducted by a group of academicians at the Russian
Academy of Sciences M.M.Lavrentiev. While the sky was scanned by the shielded telescope
with the detector inside, it registered signals coming from the visible position of each
star, the true position, and also a position symmetrical to the visible position of a
star relative to it's true position. M.M.Lavrentiev could not give a theoretical
interpretation to these facts. In 1992 these experiments were successfully
repeated by the A.E.Akimov group at the Main astronomical observatory of the Ukraine Academy
of Sciences (Kiev) and at the Crimean astrophysical observatory (Nauchnyi). The
obtained results were interpreted as detection of torsion waves. (As is well known, stars
are objects with large angular momentum.). It should be noted that the fact of
detection of future star positions has also been given a rigorous theoretical interpretation.
In the framework of G.I.Shipov's "Physical vacuum theory" it is shown that torsion
fields can propagate not only in the future but in the past as well. There exists a
fundamental (theoretical and experimental) reason to suppose that various psychophysical
phenomena (e.g. precognition) are connected with certain manifestations of torsion fields.
(The connection of psychophysics phenomena with torsion fields' manifestations was
discussed in.)
The concept of torsion fields is not new. Torsion field theory is a trend in
theoretical physics dating back to 1913. As is well known in General Relativity (GR), A.Einstein
showed the existence of a close interconnection between gravitation and the curvature of
space-time. About then E.Cartan showed that a connection may exist between some
physical values and another geometric abstraction - torsion. E.Cartan performed the first
theoretical works devoted to a theory of gravitation containing torsion, but at
the early stages, Cartan's gravitation theory never obtained support, since spin was
not yet discovered at that time. Cartan was the first to point to the possibility of the
existence of fields generated by the spin angular momentum density.
In the late 50s - late 60s, attempts to complement Einstein's gravitation
theory with torsion were made. The first such attempts were made by T.W.Kibble and
D.W.Sciama. But the explosive rise of publications devoted to torsion only occurred after the
first (and sensational) torsion effect was calculated. In the works of A.Trautman and
W.Kopczynski, it was persuasively demonstrated that the torsion of space-time can eliminate
the cosmological singularities in non-stationary models of the Universe. After the
works of Trautman and Kopczynski, hundreds of works devoted to the theory of gravitation
with torsion were published in a short period of time. The so called Einstein-Cartan
theory (ECT) (sometimes -Sciama-Kibble is added) became the best known.
In the framework of ECT, spin-torsion interaction is practically a contact
spin-spin interaction, and the torsion of space-time does not propagate in this theory. In
ECT, the constant of spin-torsion interactions is proportionate to the product of the
gravitational constant G and Planck's constant h. Thus in ECT the constant of
spin-torsion interactions is approximately 27 orders of magnitude weaker than
the constant of gravitation interactions. Owing to the above, many authors have
repeatedly stated that experimentally observed phenomena cannot be explained by torsion
theories, since torsion effects cannot be observed. But as is well known to the experts,
this conclusion holds true only for those theories which consider the torsion field
to be a static field which cannot propagate (e.g. ECT). After ECT, which describes
torsion fields generated by spinning objects without propagation, a large number of
non-linear torsion theories appeared. These theories operated with spinning sources having
radiation. It was demonstrated that the Lagrangian of a spinning source having
radiation can contain a large number of terms with constants that do not depend on G or h.
Thus the constant of spin-torsion interactions can be a significant value according
to these theories. For instance, according to G.I.Shipov's torsion theory the constant of
spin-torsion interactions is valued at no less than 10 -5 - 10 -6. It should be
noted that the correctness of this evaluation has been confirmed in various
experiments.
As was already mentioned, E.Cartan was the first to theoretically investigate
the physical properties of fields generated by the spin angular momentum density.
The phenomena presented in the experimental investigations of gyroscopic systems
appeared to be the natural manifestation of torsion fields. Probably the first researchers
to interpret the observed "anomalous" variations in gyroscope weight as a
manifestation of torsion fields generated by spinning gyroscope, were H.Hayasaka and S.Takeuchi.
It is important to note the fact that in order to obtain the effect, the gyroscope must
be subjected to non-stationary rotation. For instance, N.A.Kozyrev and A.I.Veinik
employed special vibrations of the gyroscope, and in H.Hayasaka's experiments,
free-falling gyroscopes were used. This important condition was not taken into consideration
by those researchers who declared the absence of any weight variation in their
experiments.
Torsion fields are generated by the classical spin or by the spin angular
momentum density (on a macroscopic level). The characteristics of torsion fields differ
substantially from the characteristics of electro-magnetic and gravitation
fields. Torsion fields have axial symmetry, unlike electromagnetic and gravitation
fields that have central symmetry. There exist both right and left torsion fields (depending
on the classical spin orientation or rotational orientation). Fig.1 depicts a diagram
of the torsion field generated by a mechanically rotated object (e.g. gyroscope) (at
present fig.1 is unavailable). If the rotation (including classical spin) is stationary
(i.e. the angular velocity is constant; the rotating mass is distributed uniformly
relative to the rotation axis; the precession and nutation are absent, etc.), then this
object generates a static torsion field. The static torsion field exists in the region
of space within a certain distance from the source. If rotation is non-stationary, then
this object generates propagating torsion radiation (torsion waves).
Torsion fields transmit information without transmitting energy, and they
propagate through physical media without interacting (in traditional sense) with this
media. But propagating torsion fields alter the spin state of physical media. Thus torsion
fields can be detected by various types of detector. Torsion fields cannot be shielded
by most materials, but they can be shielded by materials having certain spin-structures.
The lower bound of torsion signal velocity is estimated at 109c, where c is the
velocity of light. This is due to the fact that torsion fields are identical to the
transverse spin polarization of the physical vacuum.
It should be noted that the spatial configuration of the torsion field
generated by a spinning particle differs from the spatial structure of an "artificially"
rotated object (e.g. gyroscope). Torsion fields are generated not only by a single spinning
particle, but also by an ensemble of particles as well. This situation is similar to
electricity, where we often encounter the collective electric fields generated by the
ensembles of electric charges (nuclei, atoms, charged bodies, etc.). Thus any nuclear
spin-polarized target is a source of a torsion field. As was mentioned already, this fact was
repeatedly observed in many experiments, and since analogous spins attract,
while opposite spins repel, then the interaction of a spin-polarized particle with a
spin-polarized target nucleus results in the appearance of "anomalous" forces
which depend on mutual spin orientation of the particle and the target.
Since all substances (except amorphous materials) have their own
stereochemistry which determines not only the location of atoms in molecules, but also
determines their mutual spin orientation, then the superposition of the torsion fields generated
by the atomic and nuclear spins of each molecule determines the intensity of the
torsion field in the space surrounding each molecule. The superposition of all these torsion
fields determines the intensity and spatial configuration of the characteristic torsion
field for that substance. Thus each substance possess its own characteristic torsion
field. Each physical object in living or non-living nature possesses its own
characteristic torsion field. The torsion fields of any object can be detected by various
methods. Torsion fields can be observed visually by the Kirlian method. (It should be
noted that the torsion fields of various objects also can be visually observed by
"psychics". This is usually interpreted as "aura" observation.)
The property which is open to influence by torsion fields is spin. Thus the
structure of the torsion field of every physical object can be altered by the influence of
an external torsion field. As a result of such an influence, the new configuration
of the torsion field will be fixed as a metastable state (as a transverse spin
polarization state,) and will remain intact even after the source of the external torsion
field is moved to another region of space. Thus torsion fields of certain spatial
configurations can be "recorded" on any physical object. This fact was repeatedly observed by
many researchers.
The magnetization of ferromagnets results in the appearance of a collective
magnetic field. But as a matter of fact, the sequencing of the orientation of magnetic
moments automatically results in a sequencing of classical spins which are generated by
the motion of electrons in circular molecular currents. So, the magnetization of
ferromagnets results not only in the appearance of a collective magnetic field,
but in appearance of a collective torsion field as well. Thus any permanent magnet
possesses its own torsion field. This fact was first experimentally discovered by
A.I.Veinik.
Since any physical object possess its own torsion field, then the torsion
field of permanent magnet is able to affect any physical object. Under-standing this
important property of magnetic fields allows us to under-stand a variety of phenomena, for
instance the phenomenon known as "magnetization of water," which consists of
changing the biological activity of water (including distilled water) by subjecting it to
the influence of a magnet. Since the distilled water is diamagnetic, then the
process of influencing it with a magnetic field lacks sense from a traditional point of
view. But the "magnetization of water" effect can be clearly detected by various methods.
In this case the effect is caused not by a magnetic field but by a torsion field which
affects the torsion field of water.
The following fundamentally important fact should be emphasized. In the
framework of the theory of electro-torsion interactions, it is shown that if an electrostatic
or electromagnetic field exists in some region of space, then there always exists a
torsion field in that region of space. Electrostatic or electromagnetic fields without a
torsion component do not exist. This was shown rigorously by G.I.Shipov. Strong torsion
fields are generated by high electrical potentials and by devices having organized
circular or spiral electromagnetic processes. (Probably the first researcher to investigate
the torsion fields created by these types of generators was Nikola Tesla. In Russia,
similar results were obtained by S.V.Avramenko, G.F.Ignatjev and others.)
The principles considered above allow us to classify three types of torsion
generators. The first type employs materials (objects) having specially
organized spin polarization (e.g. permanent magnets). In the second type of torsion generator,
the torsion component of electromagnetic or electrostatic field is employed (e.g.
generators created by S.V.Avramenko, G.F.Ignatjev, G.A.Sergejev, S.N.Tarakhtiy and many
others). The third type of torsion generator employs a specially organized rotation of a
material substance: e.g. a variety of generators created by A.I.Veinik; K.N.Perebeinos'
generators with mechanically rotating masses; and V.M.Yurovitsky's generators
created based upon the rotation of magnetic fields (magnets). V.M.Yurovitsky was the
first to point out that many phenomena could be explained as a result of a manifestation
of long-range fields generated by classical spin or spin angular momentum density.
Later generators based on mechanically rotating magnets were developed by V.V.Bobyr
and many others. As a result of a series of experiments conducted in the Institute of
Material Research ("Institute problem materialovedeniya" in Russian) (Kiev, Ukraine) it
was established that torsion radiation produced by this sort of generator is able to
alter the inner structure of any substance (it's spin structure). It was also
established that an identical alteration of the structure of various substances can be achieved
by "sensitives" ("psychics,") and could not be achieved by the use of other known
technologies.
There exists a fourth type of torsion generator. Torsion fields can be
generated as the result of a distortion of the geometry of the physical vacuum. Every object
having a certain surface geometry will simultaneously generate left and right torsion
fields of a certain configuration depending on the geometry of the object. This fact can be
detected by various types of physical, chemical and biological indicators. The unusual
effects demonstrated by pyramids, cones, cylinders, flat triangles, etc. were repeatedly
observed by many researchers in different countries. Different researchers
usually have given their own names to the observed effects: for instance, "radiesthesietic
radiation", "cellular and hollow structures effect", "shape power", "pyramid
power", etc. In the USSR, the effects demonstrated by objects with various geometry have
been investigated by A.I.Veinik, V.S.Grebennikov, Yu.V.Tszyan Kanchzhen,
I.M.Shakhparonov, A.A.Beridze-Stakhovsky and others.
In the mid 80s, V.S.Grebennikov found that the empty honeycomb of certain
bees could have an influence upon any biological object: from microorganisms to human
beings. The affected person basically felt sickness, illusions of falling, flying, etc. The
observed influence could not be shielded. As the result of the conducted experiments, it
was determined that the effect was caused by the shape (form) of bee honeycomb. The
understanding of this fact allowed the development of various types of devices
having certain geometric proportions that demonstrated the same effects.
V.S.Grebennikov has interpreted the discovered effect as "resonance interactions" between an
organism and the objects of a special shape.
In the late 80s, an experimental investigation of the torsion fields
generated by objects having various surface geometries was conducted by the A.E.Akimov group
at the Physics Institute of the Ukraine Academy of Sciences and at Chernovitsky
University. In particular, the influence of torsion fields generated by cones of different
sizes and proportions upon various processes was investigated. It was experimentally
established that objects having geometrical sizes that obey the rule of "golden section"
(1:0,618) can be considered as passive torsion generators. The points that divide the
cone's height in 3 equal parts correspond to the maximum strength of a left torsion
field inside the cone.
As is well known to experts in meditation, the shape of the building plays an
important role in the process of meditation. Thus the spires and domes of
churches and temples (as well as pyramids in Egypt and other countries) should be considered
as so called passive torsion generators. The torsion fields of a meditating person can
be significantly magnified if the meditation takes place in a building having
particular geometric proportions. This fact is employed in the generators developed by
A.A.Beridze-Stakhovsky. Over the course of the latter 30 years, torsion
generators based upon the shape effect were developed by many specialists.
The fifth type of torsion generator employs a combination of the principles
described above. For instance, a combination of high-frequency electromagnetic
oscillations and topological effect (shape effect) is used in the generators developed by
Yu.V.Tszyan Kanchzhen. (The operation of his devices was interpreted as "high-frequency
bio-communication".) Tszyan Kanchzhen's torsion generator. The object is placed
into the receiver-enclosure. Another object is placed into the transmitter-enclosure. The
transmitter-enclosure is a three-dimensional shape consisting of pentagon. Cones
are placed on the sides of these pentagons. The object is subjected to the influence
of a generator of high-frequency (~ 11 GHz) electromagnetic oscillations. The torsion
component of these EM oscillations excites the torsion field of object. This
torsion field is also intensified by the topological effect. The excited torsion field
is concentrated at the tops of the cones and then is directed to the
receiver-enclosure. As a rule, a several-day stay of objects in them resulted in following. If a hen is
placed in the receiver-enclosure and a duck is placed in the transmitter-enclosure,
then a hen gradually starts to look like a duck. (For instance, a hen gained duck webs and
etc.)
An analogous effect was discovered in the 60s by the V.P.Kaznacheev group.
Their research was connected with theoretical and experimental investigations that
were conducted in the 20s by A.G.Gurvich. As is well known to biophysics experts, in
the 20s A.G.Gurvich experimentally discovered the super-weak radiation of cells that has
been called "mitogenetic radiation". A.G.Gurvich has found that mitogenetic radiation
of one cellular culture was able to stimulate or to suppress the vital activity of
another cellular culture. In the 60s, the V.P.Kaznacheev group conducted a series of
experiments using the following scheme. An infected cellular culture was encapsulated in an
airtight enclosure. Another cellular culture that was intact (not infected) was
encapsulated in another sealed enclosure. Then the two enclosures were attached together so that
optical contact alone (e.g. a glass or quartz plate) could exist between the two
enclosures. The airtight seals of both enclosures remained intact. The degradation of the
infected cellular culture was observed. After a certain period of time, the analogous
process started in the other enclosure (i.e. the cells in the intact enclosure became
infected in spite of the sealing of both enclosures). Many different cell types were used
in various experiments, including cells of the human organism. In 1973 this effect
was announced as the discovery of "remote intercellular interactions in the system
of two cultures".
V.P.Kaznacheev has used an electromagnetic concept for the interpretation of
the observed phenomenon (as well as A.G.Gurvich and Yu.V.Tszyan Kanchzhen). But in
other experiments conducted by several research groups, it was established that the
main factor in Kaznacheev's effect (as well as in A.G.Gurvich's "mitogenetic
radiation" and in Yu.V.Tszyan Kanchzhen's effect) is the intercellular interactions created by
means of the torsion fields of cells. In particular, this conclusion was confirmed in the
experiments conducted by the L.N.Lupichev group in the late 80s. In these
experiments, the distant influence of various chemical substancs on different cells was
investigated. It was established that it is possible to create conditions where the influence
can be detected even if the chemical substance is shielded by metal screens. Thus the
main factor in the observed effect had a non-electromagnetic nature. The second
important confirmation of the torsion nature of the detected interactions was the fact
that screening by aluminum was efficient (while others were not). (It should be noted
that torsion fields in some cases can be screened by aluminum.) This fact was first
discovered by N.A.Kozyrev and later it was confirmed repeatedly by many
researchers. The possibility of reflecting torsion waves by a mirror with aluminum coating is
responsible for the possibility of reflecting torsion waves by the mirrors of telescope
(even if those mirrors are shielded by various screens).
Over the course of the latter 30 years, various devices that could be seen as
torsion generators were patented in many countries. As a rule no theoretical
interpretation of their work was given. For example, devices which employ a combination of
topological effects (fourth type of torsion generator) and an intense electric field (second
type of torsion generator) is described in the French patent. The construction of the
described devices is similar to Yu.V. Tszyan Kanchzhen's generator. Two pairs of
electrodes having a voltage between 60-300 kV are connected to a 16-sided prism. On one part of
its sides the cones are placed. As the authors claim, this generator reduces gravitation,
accelerates the speed of chemical reactions, etc. Since the generation of static
torsion fields results in transverse spin polarization of the physical vacuum that can
be retained as metastable state, then many effects were observed up to four days
after the generator was turned off. The analogous principle is employed in one of
A.I.Veinik's generators. The developed device has demonstrated various physiological effects.
The influence remained even when the generator was turned off and moved to another
area of space. A number of generators using the combination of topological effects and
electromagnetic fields were developed by I.M.Shakhparonov and others."
