As I was preparing Chapter 10 for publication to the website today, it suddenly dawned on me that I could add some images of Dr. Millikan and his experiments. And then I realized that I hadn’t included any images in any of the chapters I’ve uploaded so far, so I went back and added pictures […]
This one came across my desk last week: Link: Patent issued for anti-gravity device. …and I have seen the same article a couple of times since. I’m not sure what to make of the story. But I figured if you haven’t heard about it yet, you could hear it here first. The thing I find
Yesterday I was doing some reading and research on the history of electricity, and was rather surprised to learn the name of Hans Christian Oersted — who was the first to make the connection between electricity and magnetism in 1820. I say I was “surprised” because until I encountered Oersted, my recollection was that it
Ah, the first day of “standard” time. What bizarre concept, daylight “savings” time. I wonder, how much time have I actually “saved,” and is there is a “time bank” where I can make a withdrawal the next time I need a few extra hours… ? I don’t know if it was the time-shift or what
The word “plasma” comes up a lot in The Parallel Universe of T. Townsend Brown, though the word can seem to have myriad uses. Here’s a website that postulates that the sun and stars are not deep-space nuclear fusion reactors (the commonly held view), but are instead “an electrical mechanism.” The Electric Sun… is a
I was just thumbing through some of Townsend Brown’s correspondence from the last year of his life, and found a letter he wrote to somebody named Josh Reynolds on April 4, 1984. I’m familiar with the name, as I’ve seen it before in correspondence I’ve found among Dr. Brown’s papers. I believe he and Mr.
This morning I was reminded of a suggestion made to me earlier this year to look into the work of one Dr. Hannes Alfven, a contemporary of Dr. Brown’s who speciliazed in ‘plasma’ physics.’ For reasons that are not entirely clear, I’ve been pretty much told to stand at attention whenever I hear the word
Chapter 2: No Moving Parts introduces Townsend Brown’s electrostatic fan/loudspeaker, which eventually became the Sharper Image Ionic Breeze Air Purifier (that reminds me, I need to clean mine…). The unit described in this paragraph was taken to California, and reappears in Chapter 4. The actual unit in question can be seen in this picture and
“Another country heard from” was one of Townsend Brown’s favorite expressions. According to an old associate who heard him use it any number of times, “the expression usually meant that someone else had chimed in who you didn’t expect to hear from; the phrase ‘another country heard from’ told you immediately what was going on without more explanations.”
Here’s a good example of the sort of input that I have exposed myself to since embarking on this journey into the ‘Parallel Universe.’ I have a number of standing Google Alert searches, one of which delivers to my desktop every day anything that has been published to the web that includes the expression “anti-gravity”
